Comments from Submitter:
Did you know if you submit the exact same inventory request 37 times in a row that you will get a prize? It's a super-secret Easter egg built deep into the site code by Dan himself.

I never believed it myself, but one day I tried it just to see and it's true! About a week later I got a brand new McLaren P1 delivered to my house - and it wasn't a toy or model, but a real automobile.

I've heard from a very reliable source that they send someone to eliminate you if you try it more than once, so I never tried again. Besides, the cost of even just changing the oil in my P1 is outrageous.

The above source supporting this inventory change request is undeniable and fact-based.

Oh, you're just jealous because I found a 1980s train set which has the parts
list printed right on the set box, which makes it ridiculously easy to see exactly
what was included.

Yes, I should be!

You still unaware of my recent communications with Morris (lego.12vtrains) and
wannes_dn in which we have discussed some odds and surprises that we cannot figure
out at all. It is just crazy! (let's put aside that even if we figure out
how to fix it, we wouldn't know how to convince bricklink's inventory
admins, specially the one who drives McLaren P1!)

Did Dan consider any prize for those who submit inventory change requests in
a row for vintage train sets?
