Toast is so easy to get where as the others more meaty parts are much more rare and important

the chimney
the double male Tudor wall
the attic flat roof
the large flip up window
the signs

The only thing that I do not like is the price, it would seem the set is quite expensive compared to other sets of equal plastic weight. It is like Geobra is taking advantage of us collectors a little bit. I thought the same thing of the 7145 Medieval House with Barn that is now priced at $55  :o

Yea I noticed the medieval house and barn jumped 10 bucks from last year too Ras. That's not the only thing that went up. There are a lot of DS items that jumped in price. I guess its due to a weak dollar.

 ??? Hmm, I think I disagree on that. Prices went up, okay, but here you get a lot of plastic for your money, the houses are rather massive. And, as for taking advantage of the collectors, I found the new DS releases extremely well priced. To be honest, I even had the feeling, Geobra is making some presents here... Just think about the water tower and esp. the barrel...  :)

best,

We do not have the barrel or the tower here yet so I do not know how the prices are. If you compare the 7145 or any of the medieval houses they are priced much higher than system x sets that are comparable in size.

I agree geobra is sending a present to the collectors community but only in the fact that they are releasing the sets, they are making us pay for them, so not much of a present if you have to buy it for yourself  ;)

The price is nto that bad. It could be worse... there are system x set costing 45 euros around the same size as the bakery. Perhaps the bakery could have a couple of klickies... then maybe things would be better.  But, lets be thankfull for at least that.

One thing you have to take into account is the R & D of a set. The new sets that are produced incur a lot of expenses to get them to the mold machines. The design teams, the advertising departments, the mold design and creation, the packaging engineers  etc..........

Now if you take an old set like these all of those expenses were covered a long time ago when the set originally came out. Now all you have is possibly the cost of plastic which is still cheep. If any old molds were damaged then, yes they would have to pay to replace them. There is not even a box that requires a graphics artist to create the images .

Its almost all profit for Geobra

Thankful, yes I am but do not try to take advantage of us the same way Geobra frowns down on auction sellers who do the same  ::)

Good point Ras but still 37,99 for a reproduced steck bakery is a lot better than 45 for 4251 - Royal Kitchen
