Very quick, especially when you add the blind thing... People end up not having the time to buy what they want...

I think it's a brilliant move on their part. They have us all rushing to buy them as soon as they come out, hundreds of collectors all over the world buying an extra 48 klickys a year on average, probably. Some don't buy them all, some get multiples of certain ones, or all of them. But I know I must have one of each.

yeah I agree with Tahra - it's too fast

if we compare it to the case of the Special theme we are being rushed to buy too many in a short period of time (that's bussiness, I know) but I guess it's pretty ok since they're offering great designs :love:

I need to get the ones I still don't have from S1 before they are discontinued :omg:
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:

I also agree with Tahra that the series follow each other up too quick.

Btw, are the colours of the packages of series 2 different to those of series 1 (blue/pink)?
If the colours are the same, it could become problematic when  in  shops  the series 2  are added to the same baskets with the leftovers from series 1 (and there are many of those here), which would make it even more complicated to find the ones you want...

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

The bags on Series 2 are yellow and green...(I think).

i agree it is too fast... I'm contemplating dropping out of current lines and going pure classic collecting because there is no way I'll be able to keep up  :o   One series a year I could handle ... or if they were going to say... release them as "specials" the following year in regular non-blind packaging... but this is getting a bit too much for me   :'(
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

yes, the series 2 are different colors. I have not seen them in person so i am not sure, but they do appear to be a yellow/orange color and a green/teal color.

I can see why  6mo. seems like a quick time, and maybe it is because there are not that many PM buyers in my area, but i started two weeks ago looking for the series 1, going to different shops and feeling packages, and have been able to find at least 1 of each (except for that dang Russian bride!) and have not had any trouble discerning which klicky was in the package. I am READY for the Series 2 to hit the local stores so i can start hunting a new set!  :cheerlead:

Yeah, it's not fast enough for me! I'm dying to have series 2 and 3. Tomorrow would be fine with me! :lol:

The problem is the wallet... I intend to buy a box of each. But like Baron said, one a year would be fine...

Then it's hard to get more repeats of the cavewoman ones I want... especially cause I'm hopeless at the "feeling" :(
