I think we definitly want that service.  I think the dream experience for all
of us would be to rummage through their old mould storage room, come out with
a bunch of them, and say, "Here:  I'd like several hundred of these."  :-)
Commissioning parts is the closest we can get to that.  Perhaps they can
produce a page on their site where they nominate parts (based on our input)
and indicate the minimum agregate quantity along with the number pledged so
far.  They could even take pre-orders for them and charge the cards only if
they meet the minimum quantity.  That way, the sales would be in the bag
before they ever fire up the machines.

I can think of two other things I would want.  One, I would want to commission
reproduction lego sets (I doubt they'll do this).  And two, I would like to
buy other instructions or instruction books that produce things that are very
nice, but perhaps not practical to put in stores.  5000 piece technic
creations.  6 foot tall statues.  A pirate ship that was very nice, but didn't
get the nod for whatever reason.  The instructions could be available online
only to avoid printing costs.

I think these have been mentioned before, but I wanted to be sure.
