Thanks Eric, for sharing your story. I was wondering if I was loosing my mind.
I don't know what is so hard for Lego to understand. If they want to give
you 15% of of bulk items, then do that--for all bulk items. They shouldn't
restrict it to a certain set of continually changing items! How am I
supposed to keep track of that? In fact, you would thin the administrative
burden of selecting new items to apply this discount to every month would
outway the cost of giving it to all "bulk" items. *Sigh* Do they think
they are saving so much money by annoying us to death?

| My experiance has been that the 15% discount it diseptive. For the catalog discount you only get the discount for items that appear in the catalog NOT all bulk items. Similarly I think the AFOL23 code only worked with the new bulk packs recently (...) (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
