You are so right, Gary!  From my own experience, I have built/am building 5
large buildings which all employ bricks from bulk which simply were not
obtainable in any economical sense otherwise.  I am turning into a
"Townie";-)

Mark Chan built this nice classical building called Laural Hall.  He
couldn't have done it (easily) without the limited bulk sales that are
already available.  The potential for many of the LEGO systems are
limitless, as can be seen here.   Some of the items Mark used in this
building are not currently part of the bulk sales lot, but would make a
great addition to bulk availability.  The white railings are one item
(both straight and curved), as are the 2x2 round bricks, which make for
great classic columns.  Great work Mark!!!!

With expanded bulk sales, we are only at the beginning of the "Lego
Renaissance"!!
With greater parts availability, the sky is the limit for the collective
genius of AFOLs.

I am especially confident that town will do well as far as bulk
assortment is concerned.  It is after all the closest related Lego
System to Trains!!!  :-)

And who knows..... when an expanded window assortment is available, there will be a lot of towns that will emulate the real world towns and cities, namely when the land area becomes too cramped, there is nowhere else to go but up..... skyscrapers (...)
