(...) It would be neat if TLC did a basic brick/plate/slope box(or one stud bottle), say a 200 peice, in each color for a reasonable price, around $6.50. No marketing required, just offer it in their retail stores/S@H and occasionally send out a (...) (18 years ago, 4-May-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
