    Sadly I think this will skew sales poorly and hurt future Lee and male products due to the offer not the contents.

    While I can see that the 20% off a gift card is a good offer, the cost piled atop the cost of the Pro Bundle plus add-ons knocks the impulse buy light off for me.

    I like the look of Lee, he looks wonderful, as did Mei-Lin, but the Gift card just adds an extra burden for the discount, one I can't justify. Sure, it'll pay down the line, but who knows what tomorrow brings.

    Spent far too much on the PC Sale last month. The Gift Card just doesn't feel like a reward for previous Pro bundle buys nor an inducement to spend today.

    Congratulations!: To express our gratitude for your continued support for our Pro Bundles, please enjoy our special offer to spend more money supporting us!

    Pretty much agree with everyone...my cart is sitting over $100 with 3 add-ons.  Freebies I don't want and a gift card I can't afford.   This is simply way to expensive for a character bundle that doesn't even come close to the previous Lee's.  I like him for what he is, but not sure I'm willing to spend that kind of money at this time.  Things are obviously changing and not for the better. I need to look for another hobby. heh

    Steam started their big Autumn Sale. You can grab a cheap game to vent your frustrations on!

    I am unlikely to buy the gift card but I will probably buy Lee 8 pro after some thought about what I want from what's on offer with it

    Already blew the 3d budget on the PC sale. Haven't even downloaded all of it. Lee8 looks pretty good. But I still have Lee 7 in the box with the plastic wrap unbroken in mint condition. Maybe I need to get some use out of this stuff before buying a bunch more. ;)

    There's a mistake on the sale page, down where the ironman13 items are listed. It says Buy any 2 OR MORE Lee 8 to get TWO Ironman13 featured items FREE*. But you actually need to buy 3 add-ons. The correct info is up near the add-on items.

    Not sure either...it seems like fuzzy math to me. Some of these issues can make the sales frustrating.

    Looks good, but it's really expensive: $66.13 (WTF?). Normally we pay with all discounts $37 to $43 for a new pro char.

    20% discount on a gift cards is also no argument (there are many sales from 20% to 25% for them).

    The bonus offering (free items, cheap i13 items) is also no deal, got all interesting stuff from that before.

    I'm sorry, I like to have Lee 8, but I will wait. The current deal is not cool.

    Not seeing an ad about the gift card sale?

    It's a banner, or in your messages but I think it is for those who have Lee 7 pro already, as he and Lee 6 are being offered as freebies if you get 8 pro.

    My wordy lordy YES Janelle. :) Even during the PC sale I bought very little due to our exchange rate. I remember the days of parity - o what joy that was.

    Especially if you add the $ exchange rate into the equation.

    I already didn’t find that marketing scheme very enticing for Mei Lin: no extra discount on bundles or add-ons, freebie offer meaning you can’t use your PC coupon, GC offer meaning you spend even more and can’t use store credit, all that meaning a much higher entry point than all previous bundles.

    But at least she was released during PC Anniversary which means higher PC discount and extra 10% off new releases. Now that the PC sale is over poor Lee doesn’t even get that...

    Not sure either, usually the add ins adjust the core package item as they are added...seems strange that this is broken on this sale??

    Definitely agree and then will be chalked up to less demand for the male figures... :[

    It’s not broken, it’s just not part of the deal.

    Is Marketing kidding?

    They basicly took the Mei Lin 8 sales page, and substituted Lee 8 stuff. Most of the "freebies", and other discount offers are the same as used for Mei Lin - apart, that is, from offering Lee 7 and Lee 6 bundles as free with the pro bundle. I got Mei Lin 8 (plus 7 & 6), I own Lee 7 & 6, so I have zero incentive to buy Lee 8, which is only a vaguely Asian/Caucasian mix.

    Come on Daz! How about a special offer to tempt us? (Waiting to see what the red/yellow/purple/etc banner offers)

    Except the price of the Mei Lin sets adjust as you added the ad ons.

    Yeah, that's my fear as well

  • NathNath Posts: 2,968

    Sigh, so, after all the anticipation, I only sorta like Lee 8 base, I like a few of the items in the Pro Bundle and one or two add-ons, but not enough to make buying the Pro Bundle worth it. I'll pick up the things I like later on whenever they're steeply discounted. There are no must-have-now's in there, and there's always another sale.

    there is one item I cannot see, its a black thumbnail with a loading swirl on main page, in pro bundle and sales page

    the missing thumbnail may correspond to this one as the others all pair, maybe a hair?

    looks nice if is

    Yes, it's a short hairdo :)

    I am so excited for the bundle content--hanfu finally! But the price tag...ouch! No stacking discounts with add-ons? I gotta wait.
  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 40,333
    edited November 2018

    yeah the no stacking discounts might actually make me spend that much on a gift card instead as could be some Black Friday deals worth getting, the bracelets for example nice but not extra $14 nice, I will wait a few hours though as since that hair not showing discounts might be broken too.

    Good grief, we waited an eternity for Lee 8, and now people are complaining about him? A year has gone by, has no one saved specifically for him in that time despite constantly asking for him?

    Buying him now, I have waited for too long for this character to make a single complaint. IN fact I have nothing but praise for this bundle.

    Korean styling? Check

    Japanese styling? Check.

    Vietnamese and Thai influences? Check.

    Quit compaining people! We won't get another Asian male if you do! Support what we have been desperate to have, so that we may have it again in the future!

    I feel everyones pain - but try paying for it in OZ dollars - we lose 30% in exchange!

    I would have thought that they advertised 2 Lee Addons that they would have to honour that offer as it has been published!

    I hope not! This new Lee looks amazing!

    I am an Aussie too and why I also am not exactly jumping 

    I still think it could be a tad wonky so waiting 

    not saying won't buy just seeing if bugs ironed out first and as said forum discussion highlights any

    The UK exchange rate isn't exactly great these days either.
