I am confused by this too. In the "Bee thread" SimguruGraham says the buy/CaS items are done first and he mentions Backyard stuff. Ok, in that particular pack I can see it being true, but what about the new bowlingpack? If the CAS was already made, how could it contain bowling shoes and team shirts if they didn't know bowling was going to be in it? Does not make sense to me...
For that pack, they probably already knew from the start that the theme was bowling (people had been saying "but where's the bowling alley?" since Get Together). For the Backyard one, they might have started with "fun family at-home outdoor activity for all ages" but not narrowed down the object(s) yet.
Exactly. We knew from the beginning with Bowling Night that there would be bowling. You can't really select a bowling theme and then not provide bowling. There's no hard and fast rule about our approach... sometimes a pack takes shape around a standout feature, such as with Bowling Night. Other times there's a general theme we feel the game is lacking, and features can form around that theme.
