Yeah I agree with you. I think they should have bulk selections in
quantities of 25, 100, and 1000+ (for example) for the average, serious, and
insane builder, respectively. Obviously, the more "bulk" you order, the
cheaper price per piece (within limits of course).
I recently ordered 2 of the 25-pack white windows. I thought 50 would last
me a while. Boy, was I wrong...
When you wanna build something detailed, you go through parts *SO* quickly.
I'm sure TLC should know since they have their own team of model builders
who have access to the 10,000 6x8 grey plates that you want. :)
And they get them for free! We're asking for something similar and we're
willing to pay!!
