They do not resell them, instead LEGO buys them back and puts them into large
boxes called K8's.  They use these boxes for play area LEGO at events around • the

LEGO Direct sent a few K8 bins out for us to play with, what a treat! :)

  Interesting.  I would like to purchase a few "K8's".  Maybe we can get
Lego to bulk sell K8's to the Lugnet community?  It would be nice to buy
bulk amounts of relatively current sets at extremelly discounted prices.  Do
you know if Lego Direct would even respond to the request?

They probably wouldn't sell these -- they use them for events only, as far as I
understand.  A K8 would have a few hundred dollar value with all the pieces in
one - they're huge (anyone know the dimensions?), so it wouldn't be worth their
time to market them.
