I have to say, after waiting so long for this drop to happen (I started the original poll) I'm disappointed at the price. :(
I can see how a lot of Massdrop's International buyers are really benefiting from Massdrop's program, but it seems that as of late the products dropping in the crafting section aren't the skookum deals one would hope for, at least for US buyers.
As people have already noted with respect to this drop, the Clover Mini Iron is cheaper on Amazon, ships free, and to be honest, personally I'm not interested in the Hot Hemmer. So I'll probably end up buying from Amazon.
The Clover Wonder Clips are currently on Amazon for $19.60 (Pink) and $17.23 (Red), mind you, you still need to spend another $15 or so for free shipping, but that's not usually an issue for me and probably most people. Even with paying for shipping ($6) from Amazon, the red clips are about the same price as the drop and I can have them in 2 days.
I don't want to seem overly critical of what Massdrop is doing (or not doing), not my intention at all. And I know that the people in charge of the Crafting section are probably run off their feet trying to get the best deals possible, but - it seems that being able to buy the product elsewhere for less is a common theme with a lot of the drops in the last few months. I'm wondering whether more research needs to go into price points on these drops to make it worth it to the MASSes (i.e. - to those of us here in the US).
Like I said, I'm glad that the International buyers are getting awesome deals (yous in Australia are absolutely robbed, the prices you have to pay for everything - redonk!) and as you can see from my profile, I've been known to partake in a few of your drops ( ;) ), just saying that if prices were better I'd be buying here and not on big-box virtual stores like Amazon.
And I hope this is taken as positive criticism, because that's what it's meant as. :)

sahmThank you, @sahm, for your comment and for continuing to let us know what your favorite products are !
From our polls, we found that this mini iron was the most popular one and the hot hemmer was the most popular ironing accessory so we decided to bundle the two together to make a great bundle for the community at 48% off the MSRP price.
We'll definitely work with the vendor to offer just the mini iron by itself for a future drop. Thank you very much and we'll let you know when the mini iron will be dropping on it's own soon!
