Well my theory was wrong. It only took off exactly how much i spent
It might re-adjust once the sale is over. Or not. But will be worth checking.
Sweet deal, though, if you're not getting a bundle.
Thats what i was thinking. Hppefully it will!
From the tweet: "This sale is only on individual books, but if you own a Legendary Bundle your discount should apply on top of the sale price! If you don't have the Legendary Bundle yet, the cost of your book purchase will be credited toward the purchase of the full source!"
Currently i haven't purchased any of the books on D&D Beyond, and my interest was in the Sourcebook Bundle, but if i get all the books in the bundle individually it's $229.88 versus the $296.89 for the bundle, a $67.01 savings. Assuming that every future sourcebook runs $29.99 i would have to buy 13 additional sourcebooks before the bundle with its 10% discount on future releases becomes the better deal? Am i doing this right?
(FWIW i already purchased Wayfinder's and the Tortles at DM's Guild around the time Wayfinder's was first offered, but i have yet to play a Tortle and the Eberron: RFtLW book basically has everything and more that Wayfinder's has, so if i skip Wayfinder's and the Tortle package it will cost me $199.90, which saves me about $96 over the Sourcebook Bundle.)
In this case it seems like buying all the books separately is definitely the better option for me.
Added all 33 sourcebooks and adventures to my cart and it came to $564.67, so it would save you $51.30 more than the Legendary Bundle, though it's a PITA to click through them all. I guess it's better if there are some titles you don't want. All the sourcebooks come to $229.88, and the bundle is $296.89, so you save $67.01 if you're not planning to DM those adventures.
Myself, I'd consider Eberron stuff, but don't care for Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk is somewhere in-between. If they brought back Cerilia, I'd be all for that, though I do have to keep in mind that a big part of my rose-colored nostalgia probably comes from missing aspects of the person I was and the friends I've lost touch with since playing Birthright.

I bought all source books separately, was about 50-60 USD cheaper for me than the bundle.
For some reason buying the source bundle now shows as being 51. 12 USD, even though I own every book that is offered in it? Do I have to pay 51.12 USD to get a "free" 10% discount off future purchases or something?
If you plan on purchasing a little over another $100 worth of books down the line, the LE would be worth it in the long run thanks to the bonus 15% added to all purchases made afterword. If not, yeah, get the books separately.
I'm wondering the same thing. My "Source" bundle shows as 29.66, even after everything shows as Unlocked. Very strange.
If you bought them at a discounted price, it has to do with how Beyond discounts bundles for past purchases. They will take your purchased price (not original price) off of the price of the bundle. So if there was a 25% coupon and you bought every book, you would still owe money if you wanted to buy the legendary bundle because the amount spent wouldn't cover the cost of the bundle even though you owned everything in it.

Confused
Discount from the bundle is based on the amount you’ve actually spent on sourcebooks.
Yikes. So now I need to pay 30 dollars for nothing to get 10% off of future core rulebooks?
Edit: I guess this is why people were hoping for discount codes on the bundles. The way D&D Beyond worded it on their twitter was somewhat disingenuous. In my opinion, they made it sound like if you bought the individual books it would somehow work out as a discount towards the bundles, but it really doesn't do that at all. But maybe I just read into it too much. Either way, I probably wouldn't have bought the rest of the books I did if I had known it wasn't going to do anything towards completing the core rulebook bundle.
I just wanted a code for individual items :/ this is lame
That has never happened, and likely never will.
Not entirely true, there was a code for the Acq Inc book only given out during PAX recently
Pretty sure Linzer means a coupon code for an individual part of a book (e.g. magic item, race/subrace, spell, etc.). Which is what DxJxC said has never happened. There have been plenty of 20-25% off coupon codes for a single book, some of which may have been for specific books.

They’ve said before bundoes discount by the amount you’ve actually spent not the ‘full price’ of things you have bought

What a shame it's not just a flat 20% discount. I don't want the books, just some races, artificer subclasses and some subraces
Let's throw down
Anyone else having issue checking out? I keep getting a Gateway error every time I try to check out.
The discount doesn't apply to bundles? Duuuuuuude, come on.

Well I already have all the books, I was hoping there would be a new preorder available before the sale.
