Rebranding is no surprise, as MD's group buy model failed a long time ago. What's surprising it took this long for MD to acknowledge it lol

Anziali am not fully aware of this, what do you mean by it, that not enough people were gathering for the initial drops but they still dropped and launched subsequent drops to cover the numbers?

avaneededprices became noncompetitive a long while ago. Group buy implies you get a significant discount by buying in bulk but for a couple of years now a lot of drops here were priced the same if not higher than any regular retail store and that's without a significant wait time for shipping the item that MD (oops, just D now) tacks on most drops.

AnzialI would debate that point, I've had a number of great massdrops on boardgames that I couldn't even come close to getting anywhere else. : )

SharksThere's nothing to debate, your case is not a proof to the contrary, it's just a lone exception to the overall failure of group buy model. The fact is, group buy doesn't yield good discounts on a great many products so MD rebranded itself and reoriented towards trying to sell more of (M)D branded stuff rather than continuing with group buy model. Just read the OP, it's all there. Oh, and even with D branded stuff, D can't compete any more, they are raising prices on that as well, hammering more nails into their own coffin. My guess is, prices on your stuff will become just as noncompetitive as with everything else on this site. What will you debate then, I wonder? :)

AnzialAnzail you are correct this is not a debate: 18 of these groupbuys/Massdrops of which there were 4 Massdrops that recently saved me money compared to anything I could find retail. If you've had bad luck finding items, you wanted to group buy maybe that is a sign Massdrop should just drop that section of items altogether. There are also 2 or 3 items that I would have liked to pick up but didn't as I couldn't justify the cost of these items even with the $200 to $300 dollar discount Massdrop had on them. So, if anything else your statement has no more proof than my statement had.

Sharks18 drops is a drop in the ocean of useless drops that MD is offering, pun intended. So yeah, no debate there.
