Yup.. nothing can outdo TLC when they decide to push the button on the
injection machines. At the retail price, those bulk packs will represent about
USD$250K. Not exactly a huge profit center, but nothing to sneeze at either.
Now, if we could just get the same bulk packs in Paradisa Pink.. hmm hmm ? Even
on BrickLink PPink is much harder to find that the grays.
