the right RRP at the start.

and the ability to get all sets at a reasonable price is a good reason to
encourage this)
I actually aggree with this.
Over the years I have been buying lego, I have bought many sets on sale. I
have actually bought things on sale that I would never have paid full price
for. Case in point is the 4479 Tie Bomber. I would like to get a copy (for
the classic light and dark greys) but at full price, it just isnt good value.
