Bulk, service - they're currently listed under bulk but we mean the same

What I meant was that the advert states that something train related is
happening at april 23. So what is happening april 23? In the line of thought
stated in the message I replied to ("selling more bulkpacks") I would expect
new packs to be released otherwise I'm missing what Matt Brooks meant.

What I mean is that I don't expect LEGO to sell stickers as bulkpacks,
therefore I think it will be more than just new bulkpacks.

Yup, I think your guess is as good as mine, isn't it? Unless you have more
information ofcourse ;-)
