BTW sorry if this isn't news, but with the general level of kvetching

Is this a joke?

Finding the bulk listings has become almost impossible on Lego.com.  Amongst
the 45 bulk offerings are small sets that do not qualify as any kind of
bulk. The price for common bricks remains higher from S@H than from sellers
on Bricklink (that part is somewhat hard to understand).

I guess that depends on your definition of "common".  With S@H, White 2x2
tiles are common.  I have roughly 3000 of them, purchased over the last
couple years.  Try doing that through Bricklink without accumulating $$$ in
shipping from a few hundred different sellers.

I remain pleased with the rereleased sets, the classics, the legends, the
MOCs, the train junk.  Bulk IS a joke.

To each their own.  Others obviously disagree, though:

...just to pull a couple quick, high-profile examples.
