I agree. I suspect that when Myer/GB sells BFFs at $30ea, they are not
looking to make a (huge) profit, and although they do make some restrictions
on quantities available on a case by case basis (pun intended), Im
surprised they dont formalise a limit.

Its probably more an LA kickback scenario for Myer/GBs.
Do formalised limits appear much in the retail world anymore? I seem to
remember limits on supermarket items many years ago, but now...
|
I dont have the pile of junk mail with me, but from memory:
- Mobile phones (but its usually a limit of six or something - and ones bad enough!).
- Beer. Sometimes limited to two cases of a particular special (only when its really cheap.
- At least one of the major supermarkets sometimes limits certain products to normal retail quantities.

However, I think the BFF fits nicely into the category of sets that it would
be good to have 100 of (for your own use, not for parting out. I bought two,
definitely for my own use!). Theres just no waste in it: no raised
baseplate, no one piece doors, no one piece cranelations, no kings, no
queens, and so on... so maybe the sets were cleared out by a few people
looking at making some very large castles?

Somewhere in Legoland...
Lego Police Officer 1 : Have you checked the boot ?
Lego Police Officer 2 : He only has 2 BFFs in his possession and he states
they are for his personal use, still sealed though.
Lego Police Officer 1 : Lets take him in for questioning. The breathaliser
came up positive for ABS outgas.
