There does not appear to be a limit on how many 5302's one can buy.  ;)

It just seems sad with very limited quantities that one person can buy as many as they want and the others have to wait many months to get one of them. I understand that collectors want more than one, but it does mean that others will have to wait even longer for that first one. Maybe they could presale one to each address to make it possible for more people to get one earlier. Of course if they made enough for everyone who wants one to buy two, then this is not a problem! Just an idea I had after a long wait.

Free shipping and no tax are a real plus....but make it harder for my local supplier to compete even after they receive the 5302 in a shipment in August. This is a beautiful, modern set and should sell well. The living room set looks fabulous! I have ordered it for the older house as well. And I knew to order the extra floor with the mansion this time. :D

Cheerio, Pgal :wave:

Just checked, and the normal quantity limit of 9 applies. Not only that, but I also saw a message I haven't seen before, that the order limit is a maximum of $500. So with this limit, three is the maximum you can buy. Put it in your basket, type 10 in the quantity box, and hit update, see what it tells oyu.

Oh, I'm so jealous that you got a 5302.  I saw one for £89 the other day and was very tempted but my mum said I wasn't allowed another house-there's still time to work on that though.   ;D

bonniebeth:

I am glad that they put a $500. limit on the purchases of 5302. 3 of them is enough for most collectors, and leaves a few for the others. Just glad I was able to check it daily online and buy it as soon as it was available in the US.
 
I think they are going to sell all they can make of this set because parents are so starved for exciting toys for their daughters, who don't have many good choices. American Girl Dolls have been enormously successful for this reason. I own some of them myself after receiving back (after she died) the one we gave to mother-in-law.

The price of 5302 is very competitive with other toys for a starter item. Of course by the time it is furnished, you are looking at another 200USD or so. So the 5302 is like a loss leader....sell it at cost or a small loss, and your profits still increase due to sales of all of the accessories. A fantastic strategy!

Whatever, Pgal :wave:

All geobra has to do is push a few buttons to get more made. Stick it on a boat and our New Jersey warehouse is fully stocked up. If the warehouse runs out this would be a good sign as to the great demand

Some how I doubt the $140 is going to be a loss leader, we are talking about molded colored plastic here  ;) If you add all of the sets up plus the fence and extra floor it comes to $350 and for a 4 story doll house with all the accessories it is a lot cheaper than the wooden ones I see at shops.

I still think the L shape is odd and I do hope people figure out creative ways to change it to look more fitting on a boulevard
