Since we don't yet have any idea about what the LEGO Direct Bulk Sales
policy is all about, I did want to mention a few things.  One is that we
shouldn't expect any great bargains in purchasing via bulk orders.  I
don't think TLC is going to undercut their Retailers.  Whatever prices
LEGO Direct charges us will probably be close to retail, not wholesale.

Back in the 1980's when Bulk Sales were still allowed, TLC charged a
minimum 10 cents for any piece, with a 100 piece/type minimum.  (Yes,
100 1x1 plates did cost $10.)  Now I cannot predict what they will be
doing for minimum/maximum bulk sales.  But AFOLs should not expect parts
that cost only 2 or 3 cents.
