(...) You got it! I believe the purpose of bulk ordering is to make it less expensive to obtain a specific element. That it does in every case. gray 2x4 bricks and black 2x4 medium slope bricks cost 34 cents each in service packs, 14 cents each vi (...)

I expect to pay LD a premium to buy just the parts I want and I don't really have a problem with it (although I thought the red 1x4x6 doors were a bit much at $2.00 a pop). I didn't order any basic bricks. About the only color basic bricks I can see (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

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 (...)

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.

Unlike Frank, I'll probably put in an order today or tomorrow. I already have a $200 order figured out (mostly windows) so I won't need to combine orders to get the maximum discount. Good idea, though. Cary (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)

As many of you know, bulk ordering is now a reality from lego. (URL) there any interest in putting one order together to get the discount and save on shipping? Jimmy (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral)
