Brad-
From your latest post I take it that you are soliciting advice as to
which bricks should be offered in bulk. Although this topic has been
discussed at great length many times and in different NGs, I thought
that perhaps it would be good to go there one more time in one
convenient thread. I invite others to add on elements which they feel
they would buy in bulk (say at least 100 pieces or more). Here are a
few of mine:
1. 2x4 brick in dark gray, brown, gray, white (I would purchase tens of
thousands)
2. 1x2, 1x4, 1x8 tiles in black, gray (would purchase 1000's)
3. 4x3 low slopes in black, dark gray, gray (would purchase 100's)
4. plates in brown (would purchase 1000's)
5. 1x2x2 clear thin walls (would purchase 100's)
-John

| Well, despite having just posted that I think we should wait to see what they're looking for, I have to point out that no list is complete without the canonical trainhead wishlist... 1x2x3 windows and their glass... with the train style divider (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| I'd really appreciate being able to order technic pieces in shapes and sizes. Actually, I don't mind the 'service pack' system for a lot of these things. #5229 is a great set, for example.

| (...) Yes. Actually 2x4 bricks in any color. If we could get the per piece price down to around a 2-3 cents a brick, this would do amazing things for what we could build. I could definately see putting orders for a few thousand of these at a time. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| I think the whole idea of telling Lego which bricks to make available in bulk is kind of silly. Playmobil makes virtually every piece they produce available on an individual basis, even the little $.05 pieces. While I do think that there should be (...)

Rather than us telling them what we want (which is good) and hoping they can come up with it (which may turn out disappointing), how about if they tell us what they can easily offer, what they can offer (...)

| My 2-studs worth: I'm always looking for more 2x1 and 2x2 inverse sloped bricks. The $3.00 for 16 pieces is a bit steep - and only in red?
