You are absolutely right Bryan. Look at what happened to the 4400 tubs that
came on S@H for a VERY short time. A few BrickLink sellers were able to
order tons and many that would have liked a few missed out. Availability of
classic grey and/or brown elements would be the same way. Unless you were
lucky enough to see the announcement immediately AND you have a ton of spare
cash right then you miss out.
It would be really nice if Lego would do a pre-order process. Buyers can
choose from the provided list of available elements and have 60 days to
place an order. Pay by credit card to confirm the order. Once that time
period has gone by, they would have a total number needed and would not have
to warehouse any additional inventory. What would be even smarter would be
to offer certain things like 2x4 bricks in tub quantity. Something like the
3303/4400/4107 size tub filled with 2x4's. Offer this option in light grey,
dark grey and brown. I know for me personally, getting a large stockpile of
these would be the best solution. However, I am confident that nothing so
logical would be done.

Even if they had a minimum order amount, that wouldn't be too much of a problem when groups can combine their (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-04, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
