I definitely agree with the above... I think that any savings to be had via
bulk orders will come from the fact that you're not buying 20 sets to get 100
of one type of piece-- and I think a lot of people (like myself) WANT to go out
and buy tons of one set to get lots of a particular piece, but can't afford
it... this puts that goal more in reach-- at some point I'll be able to call up
and say "I want 500 dark grey 2x4 bricks", rather than going out and buying 100
Rock Raiders sets or something, which I couldn't afford... and in that respect,
I wouldn't be dissatisfied with as much as $.20 apiece... It's certainly
cheaper than buying other sets, and it's more guaranteed than an auction (which
can also be more expensive, depending)... Anyway, from what it sounds like so
far, it sounds like a very good thing...
