Brown chairs (like in the Flash Speeder) would make a great piece to have in
bulk from Lego Direct.  Lets see:  stadiums for soccer (600 seats), movie
theaters (50 seats per screen), race track bleachers (600 seats), stage
theaters (300 seats), Castle courts (50 seats), passanger liners (boats, • jets,
space cruisers, 100 seats each), Space troop transports (100 seats), • gladiator
arena (600 seats).  Well I am sure there are many more uses for brown • chairs in
bulk.  I personally would like about 2500 of them.  If the price was
reasonable, say $100 with shipping, how many people would want this part in

Somehow I'm expecting LD to be a little bit more expensive than 4 cents
a part shipping included... It is possible that for normal bricks they
will trim their profit margins to approach the bucket price per brick
(closer to 1-2 cents per brick), but for specialty parts, I'll be happy
if they're 10 cents a piece or so (perhaps a little cheaper in huge
quantities).

Yep, I think people may be in for a shock pricewise. (let's hope not)
Surely TLC would not want sales of their normal stock affected.

LEGO Direct WILL impact sales of regular sets (even if they sell no pieces which are in sets, some people will chose to buy pieces instead of sets with their limited LEGO budget) 2. As long as the service is priced such (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.theory)
