Scott, that 50,000 or 100,000 was for the whole group. I probably wouldn't want more than 1 or 2 thousand just for me. They make great columns in classic or neoclassic buildings. But I don't have plans to build the Roman Forum (just yet). Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Thanks for the info John, very informative. If we got group orders in bulks of 50,000 or 100,000, would that be enough to justify a special run of specialty pieces (such as 1x2x2 windows, 2x2 cylinder bricks, 2x2 tiles)? Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
