Don't look at me...I haven't even ordered from LD yet...I am trying to put
together an order, but I am waiting for those new green Ninjas...
I had been hording tiles for my projects, but I may unload some of my used/
near mint ones on eBay to pay for the brand spanking new ones I want in the
appropriate colors.
Heck, I will probably unload alot of parts on eBay, I culled from bulk
purchases just to get much more prized parts from LD (in the colors I want)
I imagine that the opportunity to turn a profit off LD elements will be
pretty good til LD expands internationally...probably after too (just much
more competition once the secret is out)
My nightmare would be if one of the Non-AFOL "power sellers" began buying
HUGE amounts of parts packs and strangling the market...
