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 see on the shelf.
S@H isn't LEGO's primary market, and Tim was suggesting (and I agree!) that
1200 pc tubs in drab colors would sell very well off the shelf.
