Ah finally a sub thread that makes some sense. Both Tom and Gary speak wise
words. I will agree that as Bulk parts become available I will almost
definitely cut back on the number of sets I buy but I will more then offset
that with my bulk purchases.
I had a relatively long dark age, 13 years, and because of that I missed out on
lots of parts I would love to get but I am not willing to spend what I would
have to on eBay for the parts. Among some of the parts I would like to see
brought back are.
1. Garage Doors
2. 2 wheeled Motor Cycles
3. Ship Hulls
Other parts I would like to be able to order but are hard to get in quantity at
the moment are.
1. 1x4x3 basic windows, shutters, pains.
2. All 45 degree slope varrients in currently rare colors
3. Large plates.
4. Studded Technic Beams (Especially long ones)
5. Flowers (with stems)
Plus a lot more. The ability to get these parts without paying a huge price
tag or getting a set where half the parts are useless to me would if anything
increase the amount I spend on LEGO because I won't be worried about all the
downsides to storing the parts I don't use so much (No I won't give them to
you).
The ability to get the parts you want in the colors you want is a good thing
even if it will no doubt be limited in scope.
