That depend’s on whether or not the clear glass panes for the windows come in
the same baggies. Or will it require another 13 baggies!

As you got me thinking about this...
Just uploaded a “test” window. One black window with one glass insert.
Total cost: $11.98
Pieces used in set: 2
Total pieces: 121
Either it’s one big ol’ bag of parts, or methinks it’s two seperate bags.

Thanks Kris!
That would make $11.98 X 13 = $155.74 (plus the 8 scadzillion other pieces you
get) ..... YIKES!!!
Now add into that all the white bricks for making it a decent looking model....
it starts adding up!
I can say this much, before I order anything via the Lego Factory route, I will
need to know what all the parts are in each baggie!

Tack on a white 2x4 and the price goes to $15.27. You do get 22 white 2x4’s
apparently in the next bag, which incidently, if you just make a model of the
above mentioned bricks it costs $4.99. So apparently there is savings there
with the more you buy ($1.70 in this case adding the bag of 2x4’s and whatever
else makes up the 180 total pieces in this 3 piece case scenario.)

Keep your eye on BrickWiki,
then... As discussed in this
LEGOFan thread
there is some serious hacking into these mysteries, and perl coding, going on as
we speak.
The bags have been inventoried (perhaps not quite correctly for My House, the
volunteers were working from purchased sets which may not quite match) for
My
House,
My
Plane and
My
Robot. Only My Animal(4884) and My Car(4883) need doing. (Unfortunately Peeron
didn’t already carry the bag info in this case, so volunteers are needed, if you
have an unopened copy of one of these sets, please inventory them!)
See the inventories, and read about other LDD and LEGO Factory gleanings, by
starting in this category:
LEGO Factory
If you want to actually change your installation of LDD to account for
individual bags, read about it in this article:
Custom LDD part
sets... you’ll be using files from this category:
LDD tix files
This is a community effort and everyone is invited to contribute what they know.
The info is growing as we speak. LDD and LF LEGO reps haven’t commented at
LEGOFan (the only place they will) for quite a few days now, but there is hope
they will do so soon.
