Oh, I wouldn't expect to grab all of a person's stock, that wouldn't be fair. I have no
problem interleaving my requests with others. The only time I'd want all of a person's
stock is if they had 4 or less - to make a decent boxcar, I really need 4 doors per car
(though I can "suffer" with 2 per car initially and add the other pair later). But I can
certainly take my time and build a car every few months, if that is what it takes. It's just
that sooner or later, I want 10-20 boxcars (after all, how many times do you see a freight
locomotive pulling less than dozens of cars, except when moving them around a freight yard?).
I REALLY think Lego Direct needs to sell these boxcar doors and slider plates, I'm sure
they'd sell 100s or 1000s within the first week.
