And STILL no real increase in the diversity of bulk bricks.

OK, we have had a couple of new shades of standard bricks (that no • one
really asked for)
But the stuff people keep repeatedly asking for never gets added.

PLEASE, please, please - lets see a wider range of bricks on offer.

Yeah, this stuff is long overdue. I guess no 'opportunity' (like the • sand

But they have time to create sculpture sets, bring back legends, etc.

I mean what can be so hard about saying
1. make 10k more of those bricks please - whilst you are already making

3. add an entry in shop at home
4. take orders.

They dont need to set up production lines
They dont need to set up a sales or shipping facility
WHy is it so hard?
