I know this subject has come up before, numerous times, but it's still vexing. The problem is this: If you own any item in a bundle it doesn't pay to buy the bundle. Now I can handle not buying bundles (unless the bundle comes out first like Panawo usually does), but what it does with artists that come out with the single products first, then the bundle is I have to weigh buying the single products against the likelihood they will be included in a bundle later. Which means the artist doesn't get any immediate feedback or more importantly, cash, because I am holding off buying. That appears to me to be lose-lose. An example of that is GriffinFX who makes action comic poses which I use a lot of. They usually, but not all the time show up in a bundle if I wait long enough. Another example is Blue Tree Studio with his Modular Mining town. Do I wait and see if a bundle comes out or pick up one or two I particularly like and kick myself later? Now Blue Tree Studio has never had a bundle yet, but if they are going to start, this is a likely set.

Could Renderosity, pretty please, kindly put it somewhere on their priority list to enable subtracting out of a bundle those items we already own? I think it is potentially hurting sales at this point.

I agree that the bundle system might benefit from a re-think. I absolutely adore sets by 1971s, and they're offered in bundles fairly frequently, but I've never been able to take advantage of a bundle b/c I typically already own one or two items in the bundle, and I'm not going to pay again for something I already own!
