Maybe this has been brought up before, maybe not.

My friend and I were discussing yesterday the need for bricks in colors • like
Gray, Dark Gray, etc....colors which aren't very common in bricks (except • in
Star Wars right now).  I think an odd color assortment of bricks in a • 1200pc tub
would be a HUGE seller.  How about selling a bucket with the same • assortment of
brick dimensions in Gray, Dark Gray, Orange, Tan, Brown, and one of the • new LOM
faded colors?  This would help people like train clubs and space and • castle
builders out a lot!!  I'm sure many people would go broke buying them.


but why isnt just supplying these bricks in the current bulk packs on s@h
the way to do it?
Now you might be lazy and say I cant be bothered to select 12x 100 brick
packs in exactly the colors and sizes I want, but I would say I don't want
Lego deciding for me what that mix of 1200 bricks should be.

Surely the answer to bulk requirements is more choice of bulk bricks, NOT
more pre-packaged sets - even if they do only contain bricks.

Thumbs down from me for this idea I am afraid.

I guess you do realise you can already buy Gray, Dark Gray, Tan, and Brown
bulk bricks from S@H right now? ie. they are NOT only in star wars sets.

(...) The current bulk packs don't have 1x1's, 1x3's, 2x3's in any color; they don't have 2x2's, 2x6's in every color. But that's beside the point. I think Tim was suggesting a retail solution, that people who aren't aware of or don't use S@H would (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
