zsk5@zsk5 Perhaps Amazon shows you different prices, but here's what I see:
Catan C5e $40.51 Catan 5-6 Player Extension - 5th Edition $22.71 Combined $63.22
Catan: Seafarers Game Expansion C5e $43.74 Catan: Seafarers 5&6 Player Extension C5e $20.73 Combined $64.47
Catan: Cities & Knights Game Expansion C5e $39.95 Catan: Cities & Knights 5-6 Player Extension C5e $22.69 Combined $62.64
Catan: Traders & Barbarians Expansion C5e $41.49 Catan: Traders & Barbarians 5-6 Player Extension C5e $18.22 Combined $59.71
Catan: Explorers & Pirates Expansion C5e $46.07 Catan: Explorers & Pirates 5-6 Player Extension C5e $24.04 Combined $70.11
So by my reckoning, the bundle is cheaper than the cheapest two purchased at Amazon (Cities + Trades = $122.35). It's admittedly small savings, but if you pick the two most expensive and commit to buy at $104.99, you save $29.59.

bluegiraffeNice job pulling up this information. A small correction: Explorers & Pirates cost an extra $8 at checkout, so the savings are a bit diminished. Thanks for the information!

bluegiraffeI see explorers and pirates @ 44.41 and expansion at 22.22 and seafarers @ 32.97 and expansion at 17.19 ... so no savings for me.

zsk5You're looking at a different product. If you buy this stuff from Amazon, at the price you're looking at, you're getting 4th edition, whereas this bundle is selling 5th edition. From the numbers I'm looking at, if you have Amazon Prime and use that, and then get Explorers & Pirates and Traders & Barbarians, you'd be paying around $2-3 more on Amazon than buying the bundle here. In that case, you're saving $2-3 by getting the 5e instead of 4e of the sets.
If you look at the prices of 5e products on Amazon instead, buying the absolute cheapest things (assuming you're buying different sets rather than two of the cheapest, Traders and base set) then you're gonna save around $7. If you get the expensive stuff (Explorers and Cities) then you're saving around $12. If you buy Seafarers instead of Explorers, you save around $14-15 which would be your biggest savings, barring buying two copies of Cities and Knights.
At the end of the day, it's not a huge saving. You need to commit to buy at the lowest price and you have to have some value towards it being 5e instead of 4e. You're getting a saving of 11% or less assuming Amazon prices don't fluctuate. It might be worthwhile if you're going in and buying it with a group of people; a group of 4 means you're spending $29-31 a person through massdrop. If you have Prime though, then it will take a lot longer to get it through Massdrop than through Amazon.
Notes: All of these prices assumed you're buying from Massdrop at the lowest price, and incorporate shipping of $10.72; Amazon prices, as stated above, assume you have Amazon Prime.
