Hi Jake,
It seems that I am not able to express myself clear enough in english, sorry
about that. I will try once again:
The problem is that the price on the set K10022 was always 1784 DKK, and
therefore it in my opinion not an sale, but as you say yourselves it is a
special bundle price. But that special bundle was ALWAYS priced at 1784 DKK.
Maybe the price of the 7 sets added together is 2098,25 DKK, but that is not the
importent thing here. That is the price of the set called K10022.
In my opinion a sale is indicating that a certain piece of merchendice used to
cost e. g. 100 DKK and is now on sale ond the sale price is e. g. 80 DKK.
The K10022 set has ALWAYS been priced at 1784 DKK and is therefore not on sale
as indicated on shop.lego.com.
The correct text is therefore not "on sale" but maybe something like you write
"bundle price"
It is an illegal pratice in Denmark to say something is on sale whe the price is
not reduced compared to the price of the same product earlyer, and therefore I
advice you to stop indicating that this (and other) sets is on sale when it in
deed "only" is a reduced bundle price.
This is also indicated that this not a normal "sale" in the fact that the set
does not appear under "sales and deals"
I hope this clears up my opinion.
Best regards
Thomas

| The same is true in the UK See (URL) the text "It is also against the law for a shop to pretend that goods have been reduced from a higher price to a lower one." It also used to be the case (and I still think it is) that goods had to be on display (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)

| (...) So to makes sure I understand, you concern is ONLY the use of the words "on sale" rather than "special bundle price"? (...) To be clear, there is NOT a new product involved here. All 7 sets are the exact same things you can buy separately. (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.lego)
