To All,

    Gary makes an excellent point. Although my building has
not been too much as of late, the building I have built for
the train show would not have been possible without some
strategic orders, mainly the 1x4x3 windows and the arious
white brick and plates I was able to order. Along with the
train doors, and roof parts, I am thinking of bigger and
better creations now. My next big items are a realistic
American version of a Shell station from the 1222, etc
series, a combo fire / police station, and a big train
station. It looks pretty good from my standpoint, but I wil
never be happy until I can order bulk Futuron minifigs, heh
heh. ;)

You are so right, Gary! From my own experience, I have built/am building 5 large buildings which all employ bricks from bulk which simply were not obtainable in any economical sense otherwise.
