It’s your own fault: You just need to make a very popular MOC that uses lots
of pins!

(See a trend here? )

Where is this MOC so I can use it on Splash page???

I propose you 1% of my Technic Pins sales ordered specifically for it
Don't thank me, it's normal.

Here’s an idea: a mat.
2048 pins for 25 cm x 50 cm.
You can write things, like “Bienvenue” in Tan or LBG with non-friction pins.
No garantee it will survive any real use

Hmm, could be made sturdier using Technic bricks instead of 20482 on plates…
but then there’ll be holes between bricks….

I think, that might have taken slightly more than an hour to pull.
And a few Pizzas.

Probably a whole store. The fees alone :-/ Way more than an average private seller
can dream of...

I would love to hear what this was (an order or an entire store being sold).
Didn't think the BL system could even handle an order that large.

That would be one lucky seller, I expect most of my inventory of technic pins
to be here forever.

Don't know for what that many would be needed. Maybe for a Lego Pizza machine...?

The round number could mean they are prebagged lots (no doubt by weight) of 1000
items each time. So probably not too bad. Better than a 868000 lot order!

Interesting, thanks

Though for me, it's the dollar amount which cuts through all other
BS misdirecting stats. Lay those out and I'll perk-up
