Is there something different about this set compared to the one available from the manufacturer for $80?

No this is the set that goes on sale in U.S. at Lego Shop at Home on August 1, 2013.

I just pulled my set out of the cupboard just to check, and no the four pictured is totally different than the one actually in the set. It looks much different (better in my opinion) in person :)

From everything I can tell from comments & the product description, its just that you are 'paying' for the big one and getting the little one 'free.' Since it specifies that its a Buy One, Get One Free SET, and not Buy One Set, Get One Set Free, it seems to be a marketing ploy to make it look like a particularly good deal.[I have not bought these however, so I can't confirm this from personal experience.]

I'm not sure. But for the price after using it for few months i think u could get a similar set for a lot less money.

Sorry, don't know. I bought the 8 and 10 inch size and like them both, but haven't any knowledge of any of their sets.

The prices are different just like anywhere, because they are being sold by different companies. They look like the same set to me.

It is different. Because it is plastic it has a "plastic" taste to it, and for me one of the wholes doesn't play to full strength. For the money(if you were considering buying the set) it's worth it. But the metal one is overall better.

does not matter.we have been using the for 10 years.a couple of knobs did break (our abuse), but aside from that no problems.a fine set that can last a lifetime.

I don't know if I can make an adequate direct comparison. My primary reason for purchasing this set was the very low space profile. I use this as the cookset on our (very cramped) sail boat. The detachable handles are a plus. I've only had the set for a one (?2) seasons but it seems very solidly built.

From looking at the description of this item, I would consider it not very clear. When you look at the individual pictures, it looks like it is giveing you the same things as the set that I have. However, my set sells for $154.00 and this set sells for $188.00. My set works wonderfully and I owne one of the smaller KitchenAid mixers and it has no problem running these attchments. Save yourself some money and get the one for $154.

Wait for Amazon to drop their price on the set. (they will) Be patient though, it just came out today. :)

I purchased the set as is from Amazon. Contacting the seller might be a better source for the information you seek.

The only difference I'm seeing is that this set - and the one I own - have the matching soup bowl whereas the less expensive one has a plain Corning bowl. I would advise just shopping around to find the lowest price (including shipping) on the one you like best. The bowl that matches the set is much nicer, obviously, than the plain white corning bowl, or even a white rimmed bowl. I think I paid about $50 a set and I have two of them.

Not sure if it is the same set but that is about what I paid for it from another seller . We received it as a gift a few years ago and they are really nice so we bought a set to give as a gift -- they love them too -- if you get them make sure they have the copper bottom - makes all the difference

Absolutely. This is probably the 1 of best sets you can get at this price...

No, there is a another set that is more expensive than these. This is just the front two.
