Hi All,
I'm looking for a list or suggestion of sets which have been released within the
past 5 years which are medium sized (say, smaller than ISD or metroliner sized,
in the 20$-60$ bracket) Which have decent quantities of preferably old (or new,
if necessary) light grey bricks in them.
Thanks in advance,
Legoswami Samarth

It's difficult to find such sets. After many years of parting out, my light grey
brick stock is tiny compared to white, red, blue, yellow, and black. I suspect
that for some sizes, I have more orange and green than light grey.
In the US, one of the cheapest sources of light grey recently is the original
4400 tub, which contained 50+ 2x2 bricks. These resurfaced this year at some CVS
pharmacies for less than $10. (These tubs have a different assortment from the
4400 tubs in some Kroger stores.)
I see that 'Assorted Light Grey Bricks' are still available at S@H. Although
they are a bit pricey, the bulk purchase discount applies.
Otherwise, I think my light grey has come from HP, soccer, older Castle -- but
no one set stands out as a light grey bonanza within your guidelines.

Does this list help? These are the 30 sets with the most gray/new gray, with
MSRP $20-$60 and released in 2000 or later.
PartQty is the amount of gray part. UnitPrice is the MSRP/PartQty -- that is,
how much you are paying for each gray part, assuming you have no interest in
whatever else is in the set.

I recently picked up the Mission to Mars (7469) at etoys.com for 1/2 off ($15).
It has about 125 old grey pieces in various shapes, and sizes.
Hope this helps

Hello Steve (And others),
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate this. I guess I should have mentioned that I
was looking for regular parts (like 1 x x etc) too. But this was still a great
help.
