I can't find the bundles in the new marketplace. If you select an individual book, Tasha's caldron of everything for example, there is a red bubble that says "Bundle & save" but I can't find the bundle. I was interested in the players bundle but nothing I do leads me to it. Anyone know anything?

The "bundle and save" the new marketplace seems to be pushing is bundling the physical and digital purchases to "save" instead of purchasing both separately.

Same problem!
Well you would have the same problem for the same reason: bundles, as you know them, have stopped being sold in favor of a new sales strategy.

Well they take my motivation to buy new books,becaus i was going to buy that masterbundle to get all older books little cheaper and then continue new books buying,but not sure to continue that and give them my money -.- if this is the last solution! Well future will show how bad this changes gonna be
I also wanted to buy the über bundle.. Any Idea where to give feedback concerning the bundles disappearance?
I mean, just manually adding 100+ books separatly could be considered an effort. Just a "Put everything I don't already own into the basket" button would be a help.
did they really delete bundles...? it was the best way to buy what you were interested in instead of buying entire things you would never put to use... this is disappointing. too much greed

To be fair, there was always a problem with the Legendary bundle, namely that its value increases with every new adventure or source book released.
So either they have to change it to 'Only these adventures and sourcebooks' or keep increasing the price....
But to do so at a discount is far better than paying for everything individually.
Yes, true, but 15% off a greater amount is still a greater net than before any given new book was added. At approx $50 per book, the price of the bundle would have to increase $42.50 every new book. That adds up. And people would see that and scream 'Greed!' even though it would be because the bundle was improving.
Plus they would have to have a new version of the bundle each time that happened, or else they would be giving every new book for free to existing bundle holders, which would be a far greater issue from their side to anything regarding a la carte purchasing. Plus they would need to have some way to explain the cut off for any given bundle holder. "You get them all" would no longer pass since that does not exclude future publications and thus, even if they tried to make that distinction clearer in the description, would just cause customer service issues.

I totally agree with you in relation to the physical books. 100%
But - and it's BIG but.
The cost of production and delivery on the digital books is phenomenally lower and with Dndb tied to the digital purchases and the ongoing subscription revenue, I think it's fair to have digital bundles. In fact it's in WOTC's interest when sales are lowering due to lack of confidence in WOTC (check the profit reports and then take a look at the funds raised by indie publishers in the last year or so since the OGL craziness, these aren't small numbers, even for Hasbro, to absorb indefinitely).
So bundling at a reduced rate would go a long way to winning people back and removing the feeling of corporate greed that is (rightly or wrongly) currently attached to the brand for many present and potential future players and DMs.
Will they do it? I hope so but unfortunately I doubt it.

I hope it's just a mistake since I also wanted to buy the bundle, I also think the individual purchases disappeared

to get the bundle discount you need to add both the physical and digital to your cart
