Well Lar, I ask you this:
Do you find $0.75 USD for a cypress tree a realistic price? What would you
propose in the alternative? And anyway, I thought you were Mr. Moneybags?
I thought I would never ask this, but TLC is SO bloody slow with their bulk
offerings that I wonder if anyone has given any more thought to a bulk
element buying consortium -- one that could not only buy large quantities of
bricks in bulk (possibly for resale in smaller quantities), but also *order*
parts be manufactured (for the sake of whimsy let's say a trans-red
pitchfork) because they can order a quantity sufficient to meet TLC's profit
motive.
Many moons ago -- when this subject last came up, I came down very hard on
Mr. P because I thought he was a megalomaniacal idiot that could not be
trusted to move forward with the needs of the whole AFOL community. But I
have had a change of heart! I have since decided that Mr. P is a
megalomaniacal idiot that CAN be trusted to move forward with the needs of
the whole AFOL community!
=oP
Anyway, unless TLC/Lego Direct speeds up the *bulk* offerings process,
perhaps this subject should be discussed in greater detail...
