Are there any way to buy some of the individual volumes of this collection only? I am interested in some of the resources and I want to see if it would be cheaper to buy the individuals only.
Thanks.
Not now, but based on past experience they will probably split it up eventually. How long that takes is anyone's guess.
Then that's discouraging.
At the minute I see this, I have mixed feelings. On one hand I am excited that finally these titles are coming to Logos, on the other hand at the moment I see this I am saying to myself and my wife, "Oh, my God!", well, it's so expensive.
I don't know if there's any other reason to do it like that, but it seems just a kind of business. Like the electronics company try to release their top models first, then the middle ones, then the cheapest consumer models, so as to let those who can pay and cannot wait to buy the more expensive one first...
That's exactly what it is. Logos is a business, that's just a fact. Sometimes it's frustrating, but remember that by getting more revenue from those willing to pay more to get resources immediately, they're likely lowering what everyone else pays once everything gets split up. It's all give and take.
It is not good for Logos to sell these books into a collection costing $430. Professsors Van Pelt and Mounces' texts are required textbook in many seminaries. Most seminarians struggle to make ends meet and they need to be wise with their finance. Given a choice of whether to get these books on Logos or in paper format (less than $100 for the two core texts), most seminarians would opt to buy the print version.
Judging from this forum, there are probably quite a few well-off Logos customers who can easily afford these collections, but Logos should give the seminarians a break. I would think that Logos needs to build customer loyalty; and habit is most easily formed at the beginning stage of one's career. Logos current approach would make many seminarians wonder whether it is economically sound to buy other resources in Logos format.
Logos should really refrain from bundling required seminary textbooks into bulky collections that students cannot afford. They may squeeze a few more dollars from students, but they may lose the goodwill of their potential long term customers.

Best as I can tell we always get the best price per volume when buying in bundles. When the bundle gets split up the sum total of its contents are always higher. Now if we don't want all the contents we can save money even buying at higher prices only the volumes we truly need. That, unfortunately, is not possible if the volumes are not offered individually.

[Y][Y] That is good "red dirt" common sense!

Call Logos and see if you can get them at a cheaper price if you are a full time student.
It does not hurt to ask but when I had Academic discounts available I never noticed a discount on a Pre-Pub. If one wants all the titles in the Bundle this Pre-Pub price will be the cheapest way to get it. The problem with waiting on this to ship to find out is we don't know when they will offer the titles individually.

That's what I experienced too.
Not sure if you guys noticed, but this is all broken up now as far as I can tell:

In the paper copy there is a CD in the back that includes audio file. That seems to be missing in the Logos resource. Am I correct? Or I need to purchase those files seperately?
The CD is just the audio vocab and the answers to workbook. They have the audio not sure about answers
