Oh, whoa, hang on a sec. I'm not disputing your claim that all the wheels
weren't produced- I wouldn't know, I didn't try to collect them. It's entirely
possible.
On the other hand, when someone complains that they got many of the more common
items when trying to get all the rare ones, or flat out says that collecting
anything is some kind of scam to get educated against, it makes me a bit testy.
I understand your frustration, and don't doubt what you say- I have no reason
to think one way or the other. It's the more blanket issues people are
bringing up with collecting in general that I have an issue with.

Sorry Eric, I didn't plan to address my complains to you. Of course I
noticed that you are not disputing my claim; I only wanted to add to your
posting that there is a VERY large difference between:
1) producing really randomly assorted collectibles and releasing all.
2) producing collectibles but releasing them in limited quantities (but all).
3) showing images of collectibles but *not* releasing all of them (not even
in limited quantities).
As for the first two, I think they are both okay (so, I astually agree with
you). But I think it's not okay to push something that famous through using
strategy number 3) !
Again, sorry for addressing my posting to you. When I started to reply I
didn't think of all the things I would add later. However while writing
there suddenly came to my mind that I have spent another US$20 today on
masks and not one new combination has been among. Not that I would have
expected that, but I bought the bags anyway as they simply looked so cool
(and I won't even imagine what the sad kids will look like that will have to
open these horrible bags and so I had to pick them up instead *g* ! )
Let's simply hope LD might some day drop us a few reasonable lines to
explain that chaos. Otherwise I won't change my mind and keep buying the
basg anyway (although they suck).
My theory: The larger this discsussion gets, the more probable TLC is going
to act about it. However, I prefer a discussion deeply in thought with full
of new strong arguments!
Bye (for now), Christian --- xTIAN.
