Daniel,
Recently I was working on a massive-scale arcitectual project using LEGO
bricks, and I contacted LEGO about a major bulk purchase, and they gave me
the number of this guy... don't have it any more, tossed it after I called
him. He told me that he sold only Modulex bricks, basically tiny LEGO
bricks, for architectual purposes, in mass quatities. So I do know that LEGO
still sells them, and that if you were looking for answers to contact them
and they could give you the number of the "modulex" guy.
