Tony,

If you looked at my list, you would note that bricks in obscure colors like
brown came in at the top of the list.

For people outside the US, well, I mentioned that bulk sales should be
offered at the Legolands.  That should service all of Europe.  (One big
purchase a year and a rail pass will take you up to Denmark or Windsor for
minimal inconvenience).  As for people not being able to get buckets in
Europe, well, we didn't get shooting cannons.  Nor did we get a lot of the
cool things you guys got, like the shell sets, Maersk sets, soccer sets.
Work out a trade.  Many people will offer to swap regional only sets for
other regional only items.

What, you don't get brown 2x4's in your buckets?  Oh, sorry, that's just the
reflection off of my silver bricks.  :-)  (You guys got screwed on those!
Maybe you will get gold in a few years...)

I don't want to see bulk bricks right away.  They have been around for a
long time.  People who want 400 black 1x4 bricks should either buy them • off
of ebay or buy the tubs and buckets themselves and part out the rest.

That's fine if you're in the US, but we don't get the same choice in
other parts of the world.

Also, large numbers of brown and grey 2x4s would be great, and you don't
get those in buckets do you?
