(...) Apples and oranges. Yes, the current line of sets is rather less than we could wish, but instituting a service in which I can buy one tile for 1 cent is going to bankrupt the company. Some restrictions will be needed or it will fail. Why does (...) (25 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

You lost me here. Is the internet changing everything or isn't it? Are low value add middlemen going away or aren't they? And what point are you trying to make, exactly? Not saying it isn't valid, just that I can't parse it out. (25 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Not yet, that's what they do just before Chapter 11. Already they have had to ditch an almost entirely electronic affair in favor of "bricks and mortar" warehousing. And that's not the end of it either... I see the splitting stocks and 0 (...) (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Then it will bankrupt the company anyway, because if they think kids want either this junior junk, or their unusually lame CD-ROM games -- then their whole marketing theory is wrong. They need to get back to brick basics and pronto. TLC's (...) (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I want to order anything I want. But I'm willing to accept a 6 month lead time and a K8 per color minimum quantity as long as I am not constrained from reselling (even if a constraint is placed on what my markup can be, I can live with that) I can (...)

(...) Umm, look into DACTA/Pitsco. They offer a Mac Cable specifically as an add-on to Mindstorms. So I'm guessing their RoboLab software also runs on the Mac. Steve (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Ok. :) (...) If that's what you think will happen, I think you're going to be disappointed. Let's talk some numbers here. Minimums "not too far out of reach of the average builder."

(...) I have to disagree with this pretty strongly. My idea of the bulk orders service would include minimums not too far out of reach of the average builder, and at a price that would make subsequent smaller auctions unlikley. The whole internet (...) (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
