Museum House's

You can't compare prices now and then. Nevermind inflation etc, but plastic, oil etc was way cheaper back then, too.

my point to the price is only from the perspective that Geobra with these reissued sets do not incur any additional costs associated with other sets. There are no new mold costs, no design costs, no packaging costs, nothing, nothing, nothing but yet they are priced as though they did infact have to. I think it is a bit of capitalism at work  capitalizing on our misfortune of us not having the original sets.

Its not that big of a deal and I will be buying the sets, just not in high numbers. I think also if Geobra had a lower price they would sell a lot quicker and create a demand for more future re-releases. I would hate for price to become a factor in slowing down sales and causing Geobra to slow down the re-release idea due to too many past re-released sets sitting in the warehouse.

I really like the set and in fact all the re-released sets that have hit the market. I have bought many of all of them and will continue to do so. I just want so many more of the bakery, museum and the Tudor houses but the prices were a bit high for me to buy dozens of them. Maybe I just became accustomed to buying playmo on sales and clearances and paying full retail shocks me

This is probably it. You Americans don't know how good you have it, in general, with toys, prices and sales. 

But I agree with you about the rest.

from a 'package' point of view, it would be a nice touch if they were to embelish the ds reissue line a bit. hell, the replacement power cable amazon sent me for the kindle had an attractive sticker printed on a higher weight, toothy sticker stock that made IT look like some heirloom item. there are little ways that the specialness of getting re-released items sold direct to you can probably better articulate that to customers.

does anyone have much sense of the production runs on items like the bakery, the museum, etc.? unless it's a sore spot for geobra' pride, if the runs were small enough, numbering the units would be yet another way to convey that special message.

geobra doesnt do 'pizzazz' very well. never did.
