Nah, too much trouble. I know *I* wouldn't bother doing that if I
were a retailer. The point is to sell your stock on hand and make a
profit.
If Larry or anyone else wanted to artificially limit the number they
would sell to people, fine, or even if the retailer *wanted* to do
it, fine. But artificial limits like that, while maybe keeping a
few random scalpers from ruining it for more people, also ruin it
for serious builder/collectors, or, more likely, it forces them to
go to more trouble to make multiple orders, etc.
