It's not that we are not interested, but probably like most LEGO buyers we try
to get the most bang (err, brick) for the buck. S@H is rarely the cheapest
source for new LEGO bricks, We bought 20 (packed) cups of light gray last May
from PAB Imagination Zone Anaheim, another 4800 2x4s in light and dark grey at
Pototmac Mills PAB at BF this month, and 20,000 1x1 plates and 2 large bags of
2x2 bricks at PAB LLCA on Saturday (they recently restocked old grays). The
prices for old grays on BL are starting to sky-rocket, so we are buying almost
all our grays now directly from LEGO, but just not yet from S@H. Once the lower
price sources go away altogether, we will not doubt be among those who clean out
the S@H old gray inventory. Patience! (Or hold a 4 for 1 sale <g>).
(It seems to me that TLC doesn't think or behave as though all LEGO will always
sell. Seems to me they treat it like perishable consumer goods rather than like
science fiction books in a bookshop (bookshop owners like SF because they know
that eventually any titles they stock will sell at list price unlike, for
example, current novels that have to be marked way down to get rid of the last
ones).
