Flood the BrickBay market ? <g, d & r>
Seriously, I suspect that less than 500 pair have passed thru BrickBay since
its inception. 5000 pair would be enough to equip every minifig on BrickBay (SWA
guess on my part). I don't think we need umpteen-hundred thousand flippers. Now,
some of the other parts might be more worthwhile (but still stretching the cost
of a deep dive). There are some roof pieces from Outback. Those are the ones
from 6444 I believe. 124K of those might be handy. As are the fence elements (?)
from Wild West (which ones are these ?). A large supply of Castle Swords, shame
there aren't any pitchforks <g>.
I finally figured out what 'Green with yellow spikes 2 stud ramp' is. I think
that would translate into Brickbay speak 'Green Slope, Decorated 33 3 x 2'.
Those might be useful. But what are the 144K 'green speed humps' ? Are those
green roof peak bricks ?
Did anyone else notice the vaugeness of the descriptions used here ? It almost
seems like the lugnet guide has more precise descriptions than those coming from
the mothership at TLC. Maybe its just a translation issue.
