Here's mine: The people at TLG who continue to ignore the overwhelmingly huge amount of interest the AFOL has in certain things (bulk order, better service packs, etc) are fools. Period. If they're concerned about what they SHOULD be concerned about, ie making TLG as much money as possible, they'd be all over us. It all comes down to money. Lots of different plans have been floated around here and on RTL that would involve very little effort on TLG's part besides producing what they already produce and selling it at a profit in bulk to one, a few, or many people. By ignoring well-reasoned requests and offers TLG is ignoring MONEY. And you know what, money is something they shouldn't really be ignoring. -- The parts you want and nothing else? http://jaba.dtrh.com/ - Just Another Brick Auction Why pay eBay?

In repsone to Mike Poindexter's message ... Sure they (meaning Lego employees) read Lugnet, even if it is not in an official capacity.
