I know this is yesterday's squabble, but I'm just now reading it, and
moving my reply to .o-t.d.

I don't know Larry, have never met him, but this is not the impression
I'm getting of him. The only impression I'm getting from reading this
thread is that you're envious because Larry has more bricks than you
can (or are willing to) afford.

I have never purchased from the LEGO Outlet. They don't even know I
exist. I don't feel left out because they didn't call me. If you do
feel left out, perhaps you should make yourself known to the Outlet.
How do you propose that a business, stuck with a minuscule quantity of
a slow-moving product, unload that product? The business wants to get
rid of it in the fastest way possible because it is taking up space.
It is not worth the effort to put it on the website. Someone would
then have to deal with hundreds of phone calls, telling each caller
after the third or fourth that no, I'm sorry, we're all out of that
item.

And the fact that you are arguing back is -- what, exactly?
...just my 2 cents from an outsider's viewpoint, looking in.
