Very true - imagine this scenario -

You want a particular mini-figure, "Timmy", that is only • available in a very
large, very expensive set this year. (1)

But you know that "Timmy" will be in a set in next year's • assortment at a
significantly reduced price point. Seems to me you would • wait until the next
assortment comes out if you just want mini-figure "Timmy."

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.


You mean set 5220 "Styling pack" as shown in the second catalogue for 2000
in Australia? It will ONLY be available from:
http://www.lego.com/powerpacks
as will 5218, 5219, 5221, and 5222, according to the catalogue.

[I'll get the scans of these sets up tonight.]

This will probably open in October, along with all the other webpages listed
in the catalogue.
