As you may have seen in this thread: (URL) the limited production run -- 10,000 bags each -- of the classic grey, dark grey, and brown parts packs is now available at (URL). I know that these packs aren't necessarily a great deal compared to what (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.market.shopping) !!

	(...) I'd love to help here (and huge kudos to Jake!) but...it's kinda hard to vote with an empty pocketbook (which mine happens to be, currently). :) -Mike (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		(...) I did my part, I ordered 30 light gray bricks and 5 each of the Dark gray and brown. I have tons of plate and limited funds or I would have bought some of those as well. If I can convince my wife of the need I will be adding another 25 of the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

	(...) I picked up 50 light gray brick packs, 10 dark gray brick packs, and 2 dark gray plate packs. Thanks to Jake for making this happen. Hey it would be interesting if people who ordered post their responses (and what they ordered) on this thread (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	(...) Well, that would be a message that totals $300,000. Not bad for a one day potential sale. It would definately let them know that we are serious about wanting to keep the old colors. But if they hadn't been retired in the first place, would (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		(...) Yeah, selling them all out in one day is wildly optimistic. But would be cool. (...) Well, my concern there is there's an easy alternate explanation: "People don't buy bulk packs. Too bad, because we made them in the wonderful new colors and (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

			Re: Last chance for real grey -- let's send a message —David Laswell
			(...) Buy other colors and you'll send the message you want to send. If the old-color packs sell out really fast, the unrelated colors continue to sell at a decent pace, and the new-color packs sit and rot, the message is nearly impossible to (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Last chance for real grey -- My message —Mark Chan
	I just bought 70 packs of light grey - both to send a message, and to ensure I have enough to finish off my Union Station.... (URL) note, Lego company.

	I ordered 2 of each bag on Friday. I was disappointed that they did not qualify for the bulk bags discount. If the discount applied, I would have ordered more. I like the packs like this more than the packs that have a bunch of the same piece. Based (...) (21 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

I think I'll call them in a few days to inquire about that, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)
