(...) For 20 2x2 orange tiles, yes, I agree. One of the many people who buy sets and part them out will be more than happy to provide that third party service for you. Unfortunately, I don't want 20. I want 2000. I don't have $90,000 laying around (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) That is a very true example. Here is another one. I want 2,000 of the 1x4x6 black town jr. windows. Does this mean that they will make more money by selling me 2000 of the McDonalds sets? Yes they will, if I felt inclined to buy $22,000 worth (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Nick, I agree with part of what you're saying, but if that were totally true, then why would TLG have Service Packs at all? I wouldn't care at all about bulk orders if TLG improved and expanded their Service Pack selection. As I've stated (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
