I visited the new bulk ordering section for Lego Shop at Home.
What i don't get is their pricing -- it's all screwed up, not a
good deal at all:
For example, lets buy 1 of each, A. B. C. D. E. & F. of the standard
bricks they are offering -- all the same color.
This totals 300 pieces, costing $41. This is 13-14 cents
per lego. OK -- take 10% off if you buy 10 or more and still, thats
12 cents per brick.
At lego shop at home, take their always avilable single color
assortment. 62 pieces for $5.50. This is 8.7 cents per brick.
On ebay i the average price bulk is $0.03 - $0.04, more for white and
gray. For example, a typical price on a Bulk 1000 piece assortment
in red is at most $30. White and gray sometimes goes for double,
but even then it's 6 cents per brick. My best ebay deal was 2600
*new* black bricks for $20, less than a penny a brick.
even the roof tiles are worse deals then the roof tiles they have
always had in the S@H catalog.
What i really want is TRUE bulk discounts, for people ordering 1000's
of each brick type.
What they have there is pointless. I'm also going to place my
S@H orders NOW because they are changing the "Shipping Included"
pricing to price + shipping. I bet in the end it will cost you
more $$ out of the pocket.

| I did the same sort of cost-analysis and only bought things that I can't get any other way. With discount and shipping, the black windows are .84 a pop, the blue thinwalls, 2x2 whites windows and trees are .30, and the tiles are .07. I decided not (...)
