Greetings! After a somewhat longer-than-intended absence, I’m back, and with
good news: LEGO Direct is pleased to announce that bulk sales from LEGO start
today, June 14.

WOOHOO!!!!  *Jump for joy!!*

Our first bulk releases include standard bricks (1x4, 1x6, 1x8, 2x2, 2x4, 2x8)
in light grey, dark green, black, red, and white; as well as plates and smooth
tiles in black, red, and white; windows and doors; and spruce trees.  The
elements come in lots of 100, 50, or 25 per bag, depending on the size of the
element. There is no minimum purchase (well, you have to buy at least one
bag!) – and no limits on the maximum. Plus, let me stress that this is only
the first release: this autumn we will be enlarging the assortment of standard
elements, adding hard-to-find colors, and extending the range of more
specialized elements.

Cool!!!  I hope the Very Tall Spuce trees comes soon as well!!  :)

With this launch of the bulk service, we are also offering volume discounts on
purchases: a purchase of 5 bags will receive a 5% discount; 10 bags and more
will receive a 10% discount. These prices do not include shipping – we
have “unbundled” the item and shipping costs; shipping will be determined by
the dollar volume of the overall purchase. This pricing policy is being
instituted across the entire Shop at Home assortment effective with the next
catalog (due in July).  Further details and pricing information can be found
at http://www.lego.com/bulk.

This is terrific!!  And 2x2 white classic windows, alright!!!

We hope that you are as excited as we are with the arrival of the bulk
service. It is but the first of many new offerings which will be appearing in
the coming months. For the next release of bulk elements later this year, we
hope to incorporate some of your many requests, and will develop a more formal
system on LEGO.com (but thanks, Jason Catena) for recording your desires.

I can't wait to see what is coming!!  :)

As always, our thanks to you. Play Well.

-- Brad

No, thank *you*!!  :)  I know we all appreciate what you are doing for us!  :)
