Another hypothetical implementation of bulk sales could have online
databases showing the factory production schedules of what pieces,
with deadlines for ordering so you could get pieces quickly. Also,
an ordering database could allow group members to see how many of a
given piece are currently on order and pool orders for quantity
discounts.
Other wish list items:
How about specific bags of parts from specified sets (8480)?
Or specific parts from discontinued sets? (6899 corridors)?
besides basic bricks and plates by size and color (500-5000+ ea)
