True enough, but my take on this is that more than likely LEGO is not going to make each of the pieces that I described in this thread as an individual parts pack (at least I would be surprised if they did).

First question: (URL) which introduces (URL) question: I haven't run the comparison, but someone in the thread resulting from Brad's recent post did, and found that the bulk sets were about AU$0.016 per stud in Australia, and US$0.011 per stud (...)

Well, my fiancee works for a company that produces molds for production of plastic items [one client is tupperware], so if they need molds made, there's at least one place they can look. [and it's in Melbourne, too. Now all we need is a molding (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Bulk Economics
 
(...) <snipped discussion of prices> (...) I think that our orders will speak for themselves. I don't see LDirect selling very many sets of red bricks at those prices, not when they're cheaper in bucket sets. Perhaps not even white or black. So, (...)

  Re: bulk ordering is (not) here! (was - Re: bulk ordering is her e! )
 
Same thoughts here. I was very happy to see the tiles be so cheap. They were always the element I didn't really want to let go of, but, since I can't keep everything, those would go up for grabs. Of course, the color & size choice are a bit (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) 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)

  Re: bulk ordering is here!
 
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)

(...) Thanks Brad!!! My 15 year old dream has finally become a reality!! It is nice to see that your first initial offering has given a little bit to everyone! White 2x2 classic windows!

MY thoughts on the whole thing are that TLG just needed to add extra to cover S&H charges, and make it possible to order via S@H USA, or through their web page, for Australia and countries in a similar fix. How they handle things like import duties, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Hi Brad, Formerly, thank you very much to you and your colleagues for realizing a long waited and desired service as you promised. You also mentioned that, by 2001, you will be shipping to all European countries. Is this mean only the EU countries, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
