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 (...)

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. (If only it came with a slip-clutch gear....) And it'd be (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
