This is one of those often missed opportunities where someone from the
company could step in and actually answer a question/concern that is asked
in this forum. This last question is one that probably keeps some people
from ordering bulk parts at all. Cost. Why no address the issue. Maybe
the reason is that the parts are made from some exotic carbon fiber material
that costs an arm and a leg. (Not the real answer of course, just trying to
make the point). This question could be answered without divulging any
company secrets. We all know that these bricks are molded and NOT made by
elves.
