I do not think that sand green is available in bulk packs but I do know that
you can order a Statue of Liberty LEGO set that has hundreds of these sand
green LEGO pieces and a few gray and yellow pieces as well so you could
probably build a bigger mecha and if you combined the sand green LEGO pieces
with the sand red LEGO pieces, you would have a most impressive design for a
LEGO mecha.
