Sounds like a very reasonable suggestion to me.
Right now, the pricing of the so-called Bulk Direct Packs is such that I
really can't justify the purchase. I have a certain amount of
disposable income that I'd love to direct to Lego in exchange for
thousands of basic bricks, but with the pricing as it stands, I choose
to spend my money on other frivolities.
The situation is probably different for other people, of course, but if
you want my money Lego, drop the prices to something reasonable (and fix
the oh-so-painfully-slooooooooooooow website!).
I don't know if the increase in sales from lowering prices would be
offset by the reduced profit though. Anyone have a better crystal ball
than I?
