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 good at full price, but wait 'till the stores
discount them and *then* they're a great set or parts pack!! :-)
I guess a lot of a set's worth depends on who will use it, how they will use
it, and whether they want it for parts value or for the sets intrinsic value
after it's been built as a model.
Time-twisters were a great example - they had weird models for the sets, but
they had pieces that weren't found in other sets, therefore a fair number of
people liked them.
Cheers ...
