I would have to agree with you on this one. I don't expect to get any real
bargans because if things are to cheap there will be little to no incentive for
us to buy sets. I am hoping for some sort of declining scale though so that
the more you buy the less you pay per part.
I am also don't think we should expect much from the part selection either, at
least not at first. I think they need to offer at least what has been
available in service packs in terms of Bricks, Plates, and Slopes to start with
so that we can at least get what we could with the service packs. I am then
hopeing they will make a wider selection of colors available in those parts.
Anything after that is anyones guess I think.
Not looking for much just more than what the Service Packs offered.
