| | Bulk Bricks Availability

| Dear Lego, I was working on an idea to build sculpture models using the bulk bricks available from Shop@Home. I wanted to make the same design in different colors. However, when I looked at the availability of the parts, I was really dismayed to (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
