    What do you mean by dynamic pricing in this context?

    Dynamic pricing is where there is a prepub order and I own part of the collection already. The price gets dropped because I already own part of the collection

    That's my understanding of dynamic pricing too. But I was confused because you can't own any of these resources already as they're not available yet (unless you have them in Vyrso?).

    I already purchased them through vyrso

    In that case, you won't get dynamic pricing during pre-pub stage - you're already getting a discount, and Logos traditionally hasn't given additional discounts at prepub. There have been several other bundles that move from Vyrso to Logos (I can think of Francis Chan and D. A. Carson), and no dynamic pricing has been offered at the prepub stage.

    Will there be dynamic pricing later? I'd be very surprised if it happened before the collection was broken up into individual volumes, and that is unlikely to happen for a year after release. Even then it's still unlikely. I could be wrong, but it appears to me that dynamic pricing requires the publisher's permission, and it occurs only on a very limited range of products, obviously the Base Packages and 2012 Bundles, but also the Anchor Yale Bible, ICC, Interpretation, Baker Exegetical Commentary, Hermeneia and Continental Commentaries (but not Hermenia OT), College Press NIV Commentaries, Word Biblical Commentary, New American Commentary, Charles Spurgeon Collection, but not many others. By the time this collection gets broken up, it may be different, but you might find that it still winds up being more expensive then than the prepub price now.

    It makes it difficult when you own some if not most of the collection that you have purchased through vyrso

    I know. If you don't purchase, your Vyrso editions will get automatically upgraded to Logos editions, so at least you'll get that benefit.
