Where else are you going to find 1000 pieces (regardless of shape or size)
for $19.97 Canadian? Sure the distribution isn't ideal, but it's still a
deal for most people. Plus, most of the purchasers of 4107 are normal
families who will see it as a welcome addition of basic bricks.

But this is why Allan has started this thread to ask what enthusiasts want.
What I'm saying is simply put, 1000 pieces for $20 is great deal.
Regardless of distribution. 1000 pieces of say....BURPs even, is a good deal.
