It's done all the time. I have one running now on BRICKS for 3033 tubs.
But the scale isn't anything that would get TLG to notice. (It's only 10
tubs sorted out). Nor were the tubs purchased wholesale from TLG (on sale
at Kmart).
I htink that the establishing of a business relationship with TLG first,
before asking for special orders, is crucial to the effort. (just my
opinion though)

I think that we all would like this. I myself would be ordering up 100's of
1x16 beams, among other things. I think that we are not succeeding in this
because we are trying to go straight to it. I think that we might need to
take little steps towars this goal, and TLG might come around.
