(...) Don't agree there, it's a good deal because you don't have to buy any types of pieces you don't want. (...) I agree. I hope that we'll eventually see 20% (or better) discounts for truly huge purchases, like 100 bags or more at once. Steve (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Well my question is: Where is the $30 to $40ish (depending on size) 1000 piece bag of basic elements? I don't know about the rest of you but when someone says bulk I think in terms of thousands. I would have been more than eager to buy 10,000+ 2x4s (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
