Except they used to do bulk bricks via the retail channel (i.e. brick packs,
etc)
If they didnt do they direct, where would I now buy packs of sloping roofs
or whatever?
I dont care about the channel - I would welcome a well stocked local store
but I dont want NO channel for bulk bricks!
Dont tell me to buy sets. I am not buying 100 sets to get the 100 windows I
need.
People seem to forget where Lego started.
Go back to the early 60's when I started and you could ONLY buy bulk bricks
THAT is what made them famous.
