Well, it seems to me that that is the problem-- that *no one* is buying the parts
packs in the first place. If they were big sellers, surely TLG wouldn't
discontinue them. Are we buying parts packs? I know I'm not, save for the black
slopes, and they are new this year. Because the particular parts packs they
offer suck, and are available in sets which are being bought in bulk and
auctioned off anyway.
Hey TLG, try offering parts packs that we *want*-- train doors and windows pack;
tile pack, windows (with *one* door-- sheesh) pack, clear brick pack, low slopes
in tan, brown, gray and black (the color roofs *are*-- sheesh)
I'd bet that in one week you'd sell more of those packs that I just listed off
the top of my head then you have sold for the past 5 years. It all comes back to
listening to the customer, a concept about which you have no clue. If it weren't
for George Lucas, your company would be in serious trouble. People, am I wrong?
