There is one obvious drawback to this option: I want 5000 2x4 light blue
bricks.
Another drawback is that I want 2000 2x2 orange tiles. That would be a
$90,000 investment on your part to be able to fill my entire order. I just
don't think very many true 'bulk orders' could be realistically filled in this
fashion.
I just don't think that this is a workable solution for bulk ordering. The
overhead is too high to make it work.
