Brad this is very good news.
However, I must state my pessimism of LEGO Directs success if the choice for
initial elements is bricks. Bricks are very easily obtained in basic buckets.
The current market is saturated with 2x bricks.
Plates and tiles should sell well provided all colors are available.
IMO, the market is much hungrier for minifigs and minifig elements, space
elements, train elements and castle elements.
But this is still great news!
