| | | | | Nice work, Joe! You are certainly quite prolific! Hey, you're one of those secret LEGO guys posing as an AFOL sent here to rally the troops, right? :) John Joe Davenport <jdavenport@mid-tech.com> wrote in message news:3735EACF.C75CD2...ech.com...

| | | | | | Thanks John. Sorry to say, but I don't work for Lego. :-( Though it would be a neat job! As for rallying the troops: From most of the messages posted here and on RTL, it looks as though most of the Lego fans are disappointed with almost all of the (...)

| | | | | | | | | I thought someone stated here or on RTL that they did at one time (20yrs ago?). I'm not sure of the selection though. Megabloks (dare I utter the word) has or had bulk sales. Again I'm not sure of the piece choices. If they can do it, why couldn't (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | | | US BULK SALES? —Gary R. Istok
|
| | | | | | | | (...) The answer is yes TLG at one time did have bulk sales. But the process was not easy. TLG discontinued it in the late 80's. Here were a few details: There was 100 pieces per type/color minimum order. The price (regardless of whatever piece you (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | | | Maybe LEGO could sell bricks in lots of 100 only. That would simplify the ordering a bit. (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-99, to lugnet.general)

Instead of spending time and money guess-timating what themes people <b>may</b> be interested in, why not allow them to decide what parts <b>they</b> want to purchase?

|
| | | | | | | | | (...) Nice idea, but I doubt very much that it would have any success. First of all, there are many (probably more than you think) people who buy LEGO just for the sets that come with instructions. They just want play sets and/or the fun of building (...)
