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.

Yes. Anything to build buildings. After just finishing a 60x30 two story
train station, I'm amazed at the amount of pieces it takes. A few thousand
for just 1 semi-major building.
> 5. 1x2x2 clear thin walls (would purchase 100's)
Yes. And other doors and windows (especially train and plane stuff!!).
Other things (also previously mentioned):
- Arches and other architectual pieces (macaroni, slopes in all shapes and
colors, etc)
- Tiles in all shapes/sizes/colors. Very necessary for making structures that
"open up" to show the inside.
- The longer Technic beams (1x12, 1x16). I need LOTS of these. I don't want
to buy the parts packs to get 2 of these for $4.50 and a bunch of short ones
that I don't need.
- BURPs in other earth tones (green, brown, tan, etc)
- train plateforms/harbor docks (as in 4557 and 6479)
- Flowers and trees
Actually,
I good rule of thumb would be to go through the auctions (ebay, AucZILLA,
etc) and look at what are high price lots. And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't put
thinks in packs of different types pieces. Sell bulk of ONE type of piece so
we can more efficiently use our money.

| 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 (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
