(...) Yeah I agree with you. I think they should have bulk selections in quantities of 25, 100, and 1000+ (for example) for the average, serious, and insane builder, respectively.

I don't think it's unrealistic for people to want to purchase 1000 or 10,000 of a particular element, especially basic bricks. I know that for the right price, i'd be tempted to buy 10,000 2 x 4 bricks in certain colors. I had really hoped and (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
