Even if that were the case, I'm pretty sure that that was some sort of exception,
not the rule.

Exactly. Townies want vehicles, Castleheads want knights, Pirate fans want
soldiers, etc etc. I wouldn't buy any of it. I just don't see the demand. But
hey, do the research-- run a contest. See what kind of response it gets. I'm
betting that you couldn't sell 1000, and far less than that if it weren't for
*collectors*. And producing collectibles is a direction for TLC which I think is a
big mistake.
I'd rather see effort and resources allocated to expanding the bulk packs service.
YMMV,
