If I remember correctly, I set the program so that there would be no
repeats of the 2x2 tile combinations. However, since I modified by hand
somewhat after the program ran, there may be some duplicated configurations.
Yes, I cleared out a tremendous amount of printed tiles from
Bricklink... though I'll probably always collect more in case I ever get
it in my head to do another such mosaic (though likely only on commission).
It was very difficult trying to get a feel for which tiles would be most
easily obtained for (relatively) cheap amounts.
Basically, I would do some orders solely for tiles, but then whenever
I'd do a BL order for any pieces at all, I'd check to see if the buyer
had any tiles I currently needed.
cheers,
eric
