Now, after reading your post 5 times, I have my jaw back in place.  This is
incredible news.  You have no idea how many people appreciate this.  For us
AFOLs that have been posting to RTL for years and now LUGNET, this is a • miracle
come true.


Me too. Can you believe this?!?!




As a first step, we at LEGO Direct want to participate actively in these
newsgroups from now on – that is, if such participation is something that • you
want. Please realize that it will take some months for all our new efforts • to
be fully visible – we will be redesigning our entire Web operation (as • well as
our offline direct services), and intend to have the first release ready • for
you by late next Summer. But here’s a little preview that we think you’ll
like: we are planning to make bulk ordering – albeit initially in a • restricted
format – available by then.

I can't wait.  I remeber being able to order parts in the mid 80s.  But • since
that time, LEGO has left us to our own devices which led to the growth of
several auction services and parts sellers.  On one hand, LEGO's return to • bulk
ordering will be great. On the other hand, it will cause the demise of the
auctions and parts sellers, who are some of the biggest AFOLers as well as
truly reputable people.


The demise of auctions? Gee, how sad. What's next, reasonable prices? ;)


We are right now in the process of establishing new office space in New • York
and expanding the LEGO Direct staff.

NYC?????  How do I apply?


We should organize a field trip.

(...) I'd gladly close my auction's door for bulk ordering. I doubt anyone will have to, though, simply because I don't see them being able to do bulk ordering to fit every single AFOL's needs or wants. Still, it would be cool to be able to order (...)

(...) I'll second that! Working for Lego? In Manhattan? My dream has been realized. Er, you guys hire geographers, right? Right? Doh! (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
