Only if they lower their prices to the point where people feel they are getting a
good deal. There are very few bulk packs I feel are a truly good deal (train
windows/doors ARE a good deal). The plain brick prices, frankly, SUCK.
And if TLC truly intends to make bulk WORK, they need to offer true bulk packs, at
several levels. Packs of 100/500/1000 are not unreasonable for plain bricks, and
10/50/100 for specialty pieces, if they also price them cheaper per piece on the
larger packs.
AND for those without Web access, they need to bring back buckets/tubs with a
vengeance, and market them as Bulk Packs, with a good variation - Drab Bulk
Bricks, Exotic Bulk Bricks (pastels, purple, orange, etc), Windows/doors (with
MAYBE 10% doors, if that).
