I think announcing new bulk pieces on a Friday wouldn't be the wisest of ideas.
That would be based on the many many comments I have read about the weekend
order takers.
Of course, if new bulk was announced today, I'm sure y'all would be more than
happy to deal with the weekend crew :-)

Well here's my "too good to be true" speculation......

They are going to allow us to buy any bricks/parts that the model shops
have access to, as well as some old discontinued parts.....   (light
blue bricks... 1x2x2 windows in black, gray, and green....  1x4x5
windows in yellow....  3x3 low slope corner bricks in gray(!!!), white
and yellow.... 2x2x3 steep slope corners in yellow, gray, black.....
the return of all classic windows, but in yellow, blue, black, gray).

If Brad J announces an expansion of the bulk ordering, I suspect it will be
a conservative expansion of what is already there such as...
a) more colors for the 1xX and 2xX bricks (tan?)
b) more slopes? I agree corners would be nice.
c) larger plates

But then again, the Holidays buying season is just about upon us and Lego
would do well to have an expanded selection available.

I could not even begin to guess what the next batch of bulk, specialty parts
could be.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was daydreaming....

Doesn't the medical community agree that daydreaming is therapeutic and
healthy? :)
