I just got off the phone with S@H. I ordered three, in addition to a few other
things for myself and a schwack (yes!) of black roof brick packs for a poor
disadvantaged European AFOL (who's giving me equally good stuff in return,
natch). I also ordered a set of the white large plates and a Twisted Time
Train--boy, was I surprised to hear they were running S@H specials again! I was
sure I'd missed that one for good.

They: "Next item?" I: "No, there's more than one of those brick packs..."
Incidentally, I tried to corner them on the possibility of a discount on 5145s if
we were to clump-order, say, 5,000. The answer was "we can't do that," but when
asked who I could talk to, they let in that they were only the ordering service
and hinted that it had been done in the past for truly huge customers. Something
to think about.

Yeah, but will they see it here? (What's ".sw"? .starwars?)
Schwing! Schwagschwack!
