Hello everyone.  I am new to posting at Lugnet so if this has been discussed
before forgive me.

Just an FYI:  the best place for this discussion (indeed, it may have been
rehashed there many times :-) would be a dear-lego newsgroup or a marketing
newsgroup.

I just want to know why Lego does not sell
specific, individual parts.  The Bulk Ordering in Shop-at-home
is great but why can't Lego take it a step further and let us choose
the parts we need/want?
Its fine if you have sets that are missing parts and you want them
replaced but what if I want 100 1x1 tiles or what have you?
Shouldn't Lego cater to the demand?

I for one would love to be able to order just the joint pieces I need.
However, it's my understanding that (1) TLG is still evaluating the current
prorotype bulk ordering system, and that (2) some pieces will be kept scarse
in order to not undermine set sales...

Cheers,
