Of course, flops can even depend to some extent on whether the set will make it as a parts pack, after people have said they don't want to buy it! ;-) For those in the USA and other high-usage LEGO areas, there are also the sets that are not very (...)

(...) A fair number of *AFOLs* liked them, at a *huge* discount. That's bad for TLC one of two ways: If we're a significant part of the market, make us sets we want to buy at full price and don't take the hit on margins, because we're big enough to (...)

I would say that until bulk ordering is up and going full speed we need the parts packs. At the moment the parts packs are offering pieces (doors, windows, minifig accessories, corner roof pieces, a larger selection of plates) that are not available (...)
