I think K&C have always, obviously, wanted to make money but, just had fun releasing what they want and when they want.
Thats why, for me, other manufacturers (apart from those just starting out) have to constantly release their products in Limited editions. Just do not think there will ever be another company which will be as succesful or as big as K&C.
As for those who take a pop just cannot see the point. You are, if patient, going to get either the set you crave or, a set which, is even better than what was initially wanted.
