Really disliking these bundles. I bought 2 of these already and would have gotten the other 2 but it's not a deal at all to get the bundle. These sales really only benefit people who bought nothing before. Really hoping the last hour will be amazing. So far I am not impressed. I mean it's one thing if you already have something or don't want something that is on sale. But it's another thing to want something on sale but you have to buy stuff you already have and are not actually saving anything. I feel bad to complain though. I still love you Big Finish. I think it's deliberate. It makes sense if they're only wanting to give away value to people who've never tried a particular range before.

This flesh needs substance if someone could post the 6pm one in case I'm not back?

But then even if they put individual titles on sale it would STILL benefit people who never tried a range before. If they only wanted to benefit people who never tried something before than only offering one titles makes more sense. *shrugs sorry to sound like a grump*. I mean there are still a few hours to go!

Out of interest would I have to purchase this withing the hour?, or could I put the bundle in my account basket, but not purchase it until tonight?, would it still be the offer price, or would it revert to normal pricing, or no longer be valid? I don't know if anyone's managed to do this successfully so far, anyone done this (for aztec)? This flesh needs substance if someone could post the 6pm one in case I'm not back? Regards mark687 Pretty sure they'll be enough people checking Mark Cheers Tony

I finally bought something. It's the only season of The Early Adventures that I don't already have.

I don't know if anyone's managed to do this successfully so far, anyone done this (for aztec )? From my experience, the novelizations were still in my basket after the hour expired, showing at the offer price. I didn't want them so I removed them before proceeding with my purchase of the short trips. So it looked like the theory was sound, but I didn't go all the way through so I don't know if problems would have been encountered further down the purchase process.

I was tempted by the early adventures offer (if it was £20 I would have probably got it), but they usually save the best/most tempting to last...

Thanks brian, I decided to give the EA's a miss this time anyway, but presumably the theory holds true for future sales...

I'd find it much more cost-effective if it were individual release sales rather than bundles. It's a stupid way of doing it IMO because it means you end up spending a lot at once (eg: £30).

I'm really tempted by the EA's but I think I'm going to give them a miss this time and see if any of the later bundles catches my eye.

Finally, an offer I can take advantage of. Got the Early Adventures bundle.
I too would have liked it to be £20. My snapping it up now at £30 almost certainly means next time it will be just £20. Those who are waiting for that price can thank me when it happens.

Although I do think the deals are very good if you don't have any of the releases yet. The Early Adventures is almost a 2 for one deal.

Admittedly, it's doubtful that any one person will have bought all the bundles, but given the fleeting nature of the sales, I imagine that BF realize that. Anyhow, I do think that this sale was misrepresented, last week, but that's par for the course for promotion. Complaining about that would be like complaining about a birthday present.

There should be two options. A complete Bundle option or Individual purchases within that bundle.
