I love it!!! I want to have it first on my refill...also the next set is to my group so I will be receiving it :D I hope it is a good one (Tower Grove maybe?).
Since it's already started trading and people have paid 5 Tokens, spent 5 Stamps, and received 50 Points I doubt it will change back as it would create an accounting nightmare.
I could possibly see this as a Silver Set but not a Gold, but they didn't ask me, lol.
I planed to get it as a bronze set, and now I saw that it turned into gold and I cannot afford it! I think its the first time that a set changes value...
Brian tends to lowball his sets. Josh and I put our feet down on this one, though. Even taking away the color variations, you still have eight distinct and very cool icon designs. So it's a gold.
The change was made before the set was delivered to anyone, so nothing got thrown off (except your token budgeting -- sorry 'bout that).
I can see it as a Gold set. There are lots of detailed curves in it; and it is 24 icons. That's the same as Super Modena Bros. I think that Legend of Modena is a bargain of a Bronze; as is Tokyo Mad Scientist. They should probably have been Silver sets.
It's probably just a matter of taste and 'eye of the beholder.' I think at least 5 sets
Amsterdam Ephemeral
Ashbury Maternity
Ashbury Menagerie
Tokyo Mad Scientist
Tower Grove Power
could have easily been Silver rather than Bronze. Likewise, Storybook 1 and Slide Show Pro are gold quality and they were released as silver. These are, of course, just my aesthetic tastes and opinions. Still, in the long run, the icons are quite a bargain. :)
What Daniel masterfully said...
Why do you want to pay as Silver or Gold, what is being given to you as a bronze? What matters here is the quality of what is being given to you...I know it also matters the value, for those who received it for free at least, they arrr... quite happy it's a gold...that is why the sun freely shines everyday for everybody...

dyar on Oct 11, 2007
Hey, it's 5 Stamps
jameshilton on Oct 11, 2007
it will be at the bottom of my wanted list, will wait to see what else comes before i accept it.
Psy2k on Oct 11, 2007
I like that old-school game stuff! Metroid was one of my faves (as well as legend of zelda wich was the inspiration for the previous modena set)!
debbye on Oct 11, 2007
if they release it today, i don't loose a token!!!
H I N T !
dyar on Oct 11, 2007
debbye you're in Group 1 so you get it Free anyhow.
KatieK on Oct 11, 2007
Neato! I like that Modena's getting the old school love!
Oh, and this puts the Modena at 7 sets available. We're approaching yet another badge. :)
JSun on Oct 11, 2007
That looks awesome. And I may get it free. Always good :)
jmnovak on Oct 11, 2007
I like it... no tokens, of course. We'll see when refill comes around...
elnitido52 on Oct 11, 2007

I like it, please anybody who gets it give it to me.
BTW there is one icon exactly like the Winamp logo.
jezca on Oct 12, 2007
why 5 stamps? it says its a bronze set..
wmostrey on Oct 12, 2007
Jezca > 5 stamps, not 5 tokens. You receive 5 stamps for each set you accept.
I love this set. The game trilogy (Mario, Zelda, Metrioid) makes Modena my favorite style!
jameshilton on Oct 12, 2007
I'm sure this was a bronze yesterday but now its a GOLD!!??
maldenjen on Oct 12, 2007
I don't know, James, but I sent it to you anyway. :) ~mj

It was bronze this morning! They pulled a switcheroo. Now I can't budget it into my next refill. Bummer.
dyar on Oct 12, 2007
It was a Bronze, what happened?
jameshilton on Oct 12, 2007
I will accept this delivery when it returns to bronze!

IT IS GOLD NOW ??????
I can“t accept it then, sorry people.
tamashii on Oct 12, 2007
Holy cow - just noticed that myself. That is really weird.
JBVisions on Oct 12, 2007
Yes, I was in the process of booking several consultations as I thought I was beginning to see things.

Its never worthy of a gold! silver maybe.

iconmaster from twitter:
You know what, you're right? It really should have been a Diamond. Let me change it now...
chrisharrison on Oct 12, 2007
@Stratification lol, I just saw that too. I agree. Make it a diamond!
seanhussey on Oct 12, 2007
That's ok, as long as I get to keep it. :)
snekse on Oct 12, 2007
This set rocks. Especially like the E Tank :-)

I don't care it its gold, silver or bronze...I still want it.
danielsemper on Oct 12, 2007
People, you should never say that a Bronze must be a Silver ... we loose there !!!
What we want is Bronze sets that are at the level of silver or gold. Silver sets that are as good as Gold and Gold sets that are like Diamonds !!!
Enough said.

BTW, for those of you using the IB Dashboard, I made this change, but it could have affected your allocation totals.
