Until Home gives us folders to organize items [fossils, anyone?] no more bundles for me. Scrolling past t-shirts and mistakes I’d be happy to toss makes wearing what you do like a tedious trudge. Not too mention the strain on processing and bandwidth.

Even if I need all 7 pieces of the clown robot set I often prefer à la carte: to get the red pants from set 1 and the blue shirt from set 2. But i never buy the bundle of all 5 sets to get them.

Besides, how many black shoes and pants can a guy be made to buy just because the shirt he really wants can’t be had without them. Please send Granzella a permalink for this article because they’re an inventive asset to Home, much in need of your well-stated insights on the NA market.

P.S. Recently here in southern California, it came to light that the discount store, “99cent store”, wanted to put a store on Rodeo drive in Beverly Hills. The locals screamed and objected, then corporate said, “Hey, this is our largest grossing store nationwide, bringing in over $12,000,000 a year”…yeah Burbie, everyone likes a bargain.

I agree too. The idea of selling only bundles hurts as I too have avoided buying some things because I did not want the whole set, and there is an also.
When they offer only bundle packs, you often don’t get a 3D preview, so one can never really see how it looks on an avatar. I avoid buying a lot of things because they were bundled as I would buy so much other stuff if it were separate. Good read.

Ditto on the GZ bundle strategy. The Homeling Collective has decided that the white Gang Leader skirt is an acceptable uniform choice for officers. But you can’t get it without buying the entire Gang Leader bundle, making it a $3 skirt.

Agreed. You could say that GZ are almost shooting themselves in the foot with their bundles, I’ve had my eye on a white shirt they sell for ages, but they insist I take the god-awful quarter length trousers, manky sandals and stupid hair style if I want it so much! Heh, sorry GZ but I’d rather do without than have those affronts to fashion even hiding in my storage!!!

The thing is, the U.S is actually very lucky with the deals it gets. It’s one of the many benifits I used to justify coming over to it. If you look through the EU stores, you won’t find half as many bundle deals. Most things are sold seperatly over there, which in turn, obviously makes EU Home a more expensive experience.

There are some fantastic deals that can boost someone who’s brand new to Home so much, it’d make an E.U Home veteran jealous; the 100 items for a dollar packs, the bundles and freebies from X7 and then there’s just the everyday bundles you guys get in the normal stores.

$50 dollars in U.S Home can give a new user well over 300 items right off the bat, but I dare you to try that in E.U!!!
