Sorry, I should have been more clear in my original posting. I meant, "Was
there a vote, initiated by the LEGO Company, on the subject of what parts to
release in bulk?"

Yes, it nicely represents the small community that is LUGNET, but since it
wasn't a true 'vote' on the LEGO.com site, I'm not sure that I would put
much faith in it representing the LEGO buying public in general.

In this last posting you mention, there is a note that allegedly Brad
mentioned that he was "disappointed that people were no longer contributing
to that page". (Referring to the wish list page noted above)
If this is really the way in which Brad wants to go about gathering his
data, then I may have overestimated the committment of LEGO Direct to bulk
pieces. This sort of polling should only be conducted on LEGO.com. It's
wonderful to rely on the fan community to provide you with this information,
but what happens to the greater percentage of your buying customers who are
NOT part of the fan community. How does their opinion/vote get registered?
Wish lists and 'me too' postings on LUNGET do not a vote make.
Regards,
Allan B.
