This is my frustration as well, big time. I have very little, if any,
interest in this stuff....but someone does.

Let alone 'overs'. When they need 100k of bricks they surely don't run only
100k of bricks. All the production facitilies I have worked for (many
different industries, though none in plastics) have a common
denominator/industry standard of 10-15% overs for everything. So I'm sure
your 10k of bricks exist. (10% of the 100k you mention). Sell us the 'overs'.
I am in agreement with everything you point out. Maybe they are going thru
all the responses to the 'what would you like to see in bulk' poll from a
while ago and are going to hit us with some new stuff soon. Maybe they
wanted to give something to the public faster than they could do the bulk
packs & went with this 'vote for the next legend' deal from info they
already had (LUGNET set ratings).
Again, I am equally if not more frustrated over this as well. But, I will do
the best I can with the parts I have for now.
Best,
Jonathan
