    Re: bulk ordering is here! —Thomas Carstensen
   (...) I visited the new bulk ordering section for Lego Shop at Home. What i don't get is their pricing -- it's all screwed up, not a good deal at all: For example, lets buy 1 of each, A. B. C. D. E. & F. of the standard bricks they are offering -- (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)  
   
        Re: bulk ordering is here! —James Powell
      (...) Here is the deal: It is great in Gray. Good in White/Green. Poor way to get Red/Black, _but_ they have been available from S@H for a long time. (...) What? No, they are a different selection. If you are building a roof of any real size, the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: bulk ordering is here! —Steve Bliss
     (...) Don't agree there, it's a good deal because you don't have to buy any types of pieces you don't want. (...) I agree. I hope that we'll eventually see 20% (or better) discounts for truly huge purchases, like 100 bags or more at once. Steve (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: bulk ordering is here! —Mark Koeberl
   (...) I have to agree that the pricing seems high. Even if you use a /stud costing, bulk doesn't offer a discount. The blue tub cost you less than a half cent/stud(I only buy them when they're on sale. :) ) The existing service packs cost (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: bulk ordering is here! —Geoffrey Hyde
   Maybe it's because the grey parts pack a.k.a. 7161 Gungan Sub isn't being sold at discounted pricing yet? ;-) It does have an awful lot of grey and blue bricks in it, looks like more grey bricks than blue, though, from what I can see of the picture.

        Re: bulk ordering is here! —Peter White
   (...) Hey the 7151 Sith Infiltrator is the GPSP (Grey Plate Service Pack), available cheaply in Brisbane. The 7161 has been half-price for ages at certain places (see loc.au), maybe call it the G/B-S/B-SP (grey/blue-slopes/br...ks-service pack). (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: bulk ordering is here! —Geoffrey Hyde
   Hmmm ... If one wants dark grey, I suppose that one is quite good. But if you wanted light grey the 7161 would have to be the go. Anyone here know where I can pick one or maybe two for half-price? And anything else that's on sale, too, for that (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.market.shopping)
   
        Re: bulk ordering is here! —Peter White
   (...) The 7151 is on sale (or was) at Toyworlds in Brisbane for $40 AUD. I haven't seen them in Sydney Toyworlds, which have two of the ninja sets at a better price. The 7161 has been $59.90 at K-Marts for months (RRP $136), though you have to (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

    (...) US). That is so bizarre, isn't it? It really makes me wonder if someone goofed at Lego Australia. Maybe they divided instead of multipled when converting to Aussie dollars? (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
