Brad,
As others have said, welcome.  A few points i'd like to add.  First
I agree that the availabliity of bricks, slopes, and plates in bulk would
be wonderful.  That's the core of Lego, and would enable great buildings.

The second point is I'd love to be able to get track for
discontinued lines such as 4.5V train, 12V train, and monorail.  WHile
9V track is available as packs of straghts, curves, and switches,
the older track is simply unavailable.  I've made quite an investment in
monorails.  I have 4 full sets and many accessory track sets.  What I really
want to buy is straight track!  Much as the window and door packs leave
people with too many doors, 6347 leaves me with too many curves.

Thanks for listening, and I hope to be able to do business
with your operation in the future.

Brad:

Bricks, slopes, plates and tiles are the place to start with bulk ordering -
all colors, all sizes (personal plea - gray 1x__).  Next, I would suggest
making available 5-10 elements from each separate theme (i.e. for Castle -
arches, castle walls, arched windows, minifigs, etc.).  Perhaps 25 elements
from each theme could be proffered and voted upon with the top 10 being
available for bulk purchase.  This could be used as a trial run to allow you
to guage interest and your capabilities (production time, delivery costs,
etc.).

As many others have said, welcome.
