This is one part of the chat I find *very* interesting: ===...=== Q: LEGOLAND model makers order parts from Billund in bulk, they just fax/email they need a K8 full of this or that and they get it. Granted they have to (...) (21 years ago, 9-Dec-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | Hi Mike (...) We spoke not about _any_ bulk order, but about _the_ bulk order we planned 8 month ago and which isn't finished so far. It's some kind of testing it, so we're still waiting for simplier possibilities to order in bulk too. But as Kate (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) In reply Yes you can order bricks from Lego Direct Europe. The price is set at per brick and not by weight, and I was quoted 7 to 10 pence per brick so it is still cheaper to buy them through pick a brick or S@H. I didn't put and order in. (...)

| | | | | | (...) As for the bricks that are shipped to the Lego brand stores, if you ask about buying a lot of any one brick that's in the range, the brand stores can't sell them any cheaper no matter how much you want to buy. As I understand it, once a carton (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | (...) OK, I had to think about this for a while - but it does raise a question: How do they determine how many PaB cups of bricks are in a carton? Do they just guestimate, or do they fill a cup and work off of that? Because, AFOLs (and kids!) who (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

| | | | | | (...) I haven't a clue. I got the impression that a newly arrived box full of any one type of brick equals a certain number of sales, so I presume it's based on how many cups you can fill from an average box of average parts. Some people will get (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)

The (not really all) available parts have been listed in this message on the 1000steine-board. The prices are higher than PaB, partly (...)
