(...) I agree with your sentiment (even though I liked the pharoah tube thing)... There seem to be more useless (and expensive at MSRP) bits nowadays......

What he said... Just don't package it in cardboard surrounds to make it easier to wrap, that misses the point. Again, to reiterate, that is, to repeat myself, or if you like, say it again for clarity... Plastic Thingies that are modular and that (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Or more bluntly, this stupid crap doesn't move. We know it. Store owners know it. Time for you to catch on as well. Just THINK about it, LEGO. You're shopping for just the right present for some kid, maybe even your kid. Are you going to (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

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)

(...) Um, I know that a lot of us here are addicted to the brick, but when Lego starts advertising the "dime bag" of 1x1 bricks, that may be too far. ;) Ben Roller (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Oddly, I was always thinking about buying parts by the pound (or kilogram or whatever). TLC could tell us the *approx* number of each part per pound, then just weigh them out. We would know that we were getting an aproximation. Sorta like buying (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
