One such example would be the Y-Wing+TIE set featuring Darth Vader on the box
cover. It was the only source for that figure for over a year until the figure
sets came out. The number of Y-Wing set sold would be greatly reduced if the
figure sets were released in the same year.
Another example in the silver body part set listed in LEGO's Noth American
web catalogue about a month ago but removed recently. I certainly have less
desire to buy that expensive silver championship F1 car set after knowing that
there is going to be a less expensive source for those body parts.
