 Subject:  Limited edition kits, do you buy them for that reason?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Feb 15, 2006
 From:  adam lehmann 
just curious thought, does anyone see that a company has released a limited edition kit heavily marketed that way, and feel that because its limited they ought to have it in their war chest ? or would you only buy it if its a project you were considering doing already or its an alternative to something else available?

unscrupulous marketing people are renowned for marking things limited edition.. for the first production run.then the same item is reboxed for subsequent runs once the hard core fanatics have bought all the first ones thus ensuring the viability of the item.
