Great suggestion. I would go farther and suggest not only a minimum piece
count, but also an incremental piece count. Example: 2x4 bricks - can only be
purchased in intervals of 40 pieces (40, 80, 160, 2,000 etc.). Other piece
types could have different piece count lots. They (TLC) could then make up
packets of the various pieces and the "picking" for an order would be easy.
Maybe they could make piece lots in dollar blocks instead - 40 2x4 bricks (as
used in the example above) could be a $1 (US) baggie. Other pieces could be $2
or $3 (or whatever) to get a reasonable piece count/cost ratio.

| The easiest way to do it is to simply order an element, and receive some arbitrary quantity (i.e. a "box" or "bag" full). That quantity might vary from part to part but would be consistent on a per part basis. That would be by far the most efficient (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
