I don't know what the producers are smoking (it must be crack), but these "six packs" are ridiculous; and well beyond the reach of most collectors. Even worse, the liveries are not wholly varied; some will merely have different registration numbers. I'm as big a Lufthansa fan as the next collector, but a six pack release make no sense; literally. With a production run limited to a few hundred, most of us will lose out. I suspect the only thing driving it is a desire for higher revenues and profits. Hopefully, some retailers will have the good sense to offer them separately as they did with the El Al 747s. When I bought BB's JAL 743 twinpack, I realized just how stupid some of these offerings are. At least the GJ America West 732 twinpack offered two aircraft in different liveries or the AC Aerocondor twinpack offered two different aircraft. I could understand if BB did a six pack comprised of a 744, 742, DC-10, 727, 737 and 707, but six 747s is absurd.
