To be on the safe side, I'm ordering a shwack of 5145's before year end.
I also just ordered a lot of 5145s (I assume that's what shwack means;) • among
a lot of other packs.  May as well get a Mickey D set in the process...

Yup.  A schwack is a variable amount, that usually falls between "some" and • "a
Jesus-load & a half"(1) In this case, it's 20.  :)

I'm doing an informal poll, to satisfy my curiosity.

When you (if you) order 5145 Grey Bricks, how many do you usually order?

(my answer) Usually 10 or 20.  I have ordered other amounts, but never less
than 10, and not more than 30 (at a single time).

How often do you get comments from the S@H rep about the quantity you're
ordering?

(my answer) About every second or third time, the rep says something like • "you
must be building something big!"  or "30?  Why would you need that many?"


I started getting 10 packs at a time, then 20.  Now I typically order 40 -
50 gray brick packs at a time.  I think I have 230 altogether now.
