Hi!
The Brand Stores like the one in Cologne, Germany, get the bricks for
the Pick-A-Brick wall in boxes sized for about 1000 2x4. Loads of AFOLs
asked to buy these boxes instead of filling the tubs, to no avail, as
the store management is not in the position to make prices.
After a while, they agreed on selling one box for the price of 12
(twelve!) tubs - a ridiculus price, as I can drown 1000 2x4 in 6 and a
quarter tubs. 12 x EUR15.99 = EUR191.88 ~ US$240 -> 19EUct or 24USct per
brick is a little too steep for my taste.
I don't ask for free bricks, only for reasonable priced ones, and buying
bricks in these quantities (with the option to share a box with friends
if they are too large for one person) is nothing really odd. And they
don't have to design somethin fance new, I take the boxes as they are
already used internally - if they would only sell them.
Yours, Christian
