I'm interested in making some half-timbered houses for my village. What currently available sets have the best distribution of brown 1xn plates? I'm having a really hard time finding any... Thanks, Chris (24 years ago, 29-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)

That's good advice. I find I use eBay as a buyer to get sets I really want but can't get anywhere else or anywhere else cheaper. I use eBay as a seller to sell only sets I really don't want. If I really don't want a MISB set, it's never because I (...) (24 years ago, 29-Sep-00, to lugnet.castle)
