I just checked Bricklink.com, and you're right--there ARE a lot of true gray
and brown bricks. However, except for the 1X2 & 2X2 bricks, the pieces are
scattered throughout 1000 stores and several countries. The vast majority of BL
stores that have true gray bricks at good prices only have very small
quantities.
If we order directly from LEGO, we can order thousands at a time from the
same place, and we know that the pieces are brand new. I plan on ordering
several (20+) of these bulk packs from LEGO. Getting the same amount of the
same pieces from BL stores would mean ordering from several stores. Even if I
could find cheap pieces on BL, the time and extra postage would cancel out the
good prices.
(Nothing aginst Bricklink.com, of course. I love it.)
