I bought around 50 of the service packs last year. Which is 700 2x4 bricks
alone. Unfortunately there are not as many 1xX bricks in the packs so I am
running low on 1xX's now. I still have a lot of 2xX's though so my limiting
factor for the Castle wall at the moment are the Gray Slope's and inparticular
the inside and outside gray slope's.

That's what I was going for. I plan on using that band of red in my story line
although I am not exactly sure how yet although I am thinking of calling it the
"Blood line".

Your idea's sound great. I can't wait to see some pictures and watch your
story progress.

| (...) Wow! That's a lot of gray. I have to believe that out of the 7 1200 piece tubs I have, I should be able to come up with plenty of yellow for the time being. I also plan on trading a lot of the bulk colors I don't need no for more yellow. (...) (...) (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
