But the brick packs will remain. I didn't ask about certain accessories like
technic, etc. But this explains a lot, apparently the limited quanity on all
accessories is a mistake, and more or less are for certain items. I mean lego
just recieved a large order or bricks in different colors. I doubt if they
were cancel them that they would order more from the factory? :) Also the
person I spoke with was high enough in the chain to know if they were to
cancel the brick packs. All I asked her about was the bricks and not the
minifig type accessories, so who knows on those? Should have asked her about
the others while I had the chance. :/
