A Report by and on the site "Brick Fanatics" Talks of launching failed Ideas sets through BrickLink or an ADP second wave. Sounds like a survey going. Didn't yet read too much into it. Sounds interesting to me for sure though.

February 2016 Polybag Availability Update Original Post: Sorry if there's a post like this already. I searched but polybag comes up in so many threads its hard to see!
