    bulks and trees and some new stuff on its way Brad Justus
   OK, in this message I'll tackle some of the questions (as best I can) that have arisen recently regarding our bulk program. And I'll toss in a couple of other items of interest at the end (no scrolling ahead, now...). Let me say first that our bulk (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct) !!

     (...) Wow. Brad, You say a lot in your post! Most (if not all) of what you wrote is welcome news indeed. Regarding promises (above), I just want to say that your words are encouraging.

        Re: bulks and trees and some new stuff on its way —Frank Filz
     (...) This sounds like a decent start. Something similar was in place during the first few months of the bulk program so you probably have some idea as to how well that works. (...)

     Once again, Lego listens and responds. Brad, I want to thank you for interacting with us through LugNet and through the other channels the LSAH has started doing.

        Re: bulks and trees and some new stuff on its way REPLY FOR BRAD —Doyle Nelson
     (...) This is good. (...) I disagree I think there are more bulk orders than you know of, because WE usually dont post or comment a lot, nor do we waste our money by purchasing overpriced brick at LSAH. (...)

         Re: bulks and trees and some new stuff on its way —Shiri Dori
     (...) ROFL!!! Going with that suggestion, Mike, for 50 bags you'd get 50% off, for 90 bags you'd get 90% off, and if you buy 100 bags or more you'll get them for free. <grin> I'd love that, but somehow I have a feeling LD won't exactly think it (...)

         Re: bulks and trees and some new stuff on its way —Christopher Tracey
      (...) Wessel, you should know better than trying to project outside the limits of your data. Of course, if this relationship doesn't level out I would like to order 110 bags (which means LEGO should pay me for ordering their brick). ;) (...) (...)

     Dear Brad. We do thank you for your effort in this and I am sure it will pay off.
