It seems the potential demand is not looking like changing the way LA
operates. Including a Sopwith Camel :-), I can probably come up with an
order of about US$100, which is probably over a quarter of my annual Lego
budget, and which is obviously not going to even make LA blink.
The per piece price of the bulk stuff is certainly high compared to current
set prices (particularly when on sale), but there are no unwanted elements
in the selection (not that any Lego - except Insectoids - is truly unwanted
in my book*).
I have projects happening or planned in all the standard colours (even my
much neglected blue!), so I'm quite happy with the current 4229 et al
selections for bulk bricks. (Even 1 x 1 bricks have their uses, after all).
Bulk tiles and doors, and maybe some white 2x8 plates (sleepers!) are sure
to come in handy, however.
