I agree and sign below:

Mark Bellis (31), Derby (UK). 2003 expenditure £2227 including £80 of SYSTEM light grey plates. 2004 expenditure £3415 including £830 of SYSTEM light grey plates. 2005 expenditure so far £678 of SYSTEM dark grey plates and tiger mosaics (which include both colours of SYSTEM grey plates). I will need 200 more packs of SYSTEM light grey plates (#10148), but UK LS@H stock has now run out. Please make some more!

Why should they? They’ve had them for ages, you could have bought some months ago.

Perhaps if they had run out in the first week or three after being put on offer there would be incentive to make more, but not at this point.

I can’t believe you are seriously asking why TLC should make more of the old-color bulk packs, when the stock has run out.

They have sold out in 8 months or so (not “ages”), in a time when old colors where still widely availiable in clearance sets and Pick-a-Brick.
They sold at full price to AFOLs, instead of at wholesale to Dollar General like a lot of recent TLC offerings.

Given it’s current financial situation, why WOULDN’T TLC make more old-color bulk packs?

(...) First, if the packs sold out in days or weeks, not months--perhaps someone would notice. If it took 8 months to sell 10,000 packs...that's and average of 42 packs a day. That's not a very rapid fill rate, nor is it something for a (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
