Re: 1x1 plate distribution in Mosaic Maker sets?

Hi Adrian,

You sent me an email asking if I had had a response to my question about
ordering multiple mosiac sets in the US last year. I tried emailing you
back, but unfortunately your mail server seems to be bouncing mail, so I'll
answer the question here.

Shortly after posting the question, I received an email from Lego Direct
informing me that I could place an order for 1 kit and immediately phone
them to increase my order by how ever many kits I wanted to purchase.
Obviously, the designs would have to be the same, but if you use the
brickoliser to create a 5 bar design - one of each color- then you'll get a
good split of plates.
Another hint (which you didn't hear from me ok?!) is that the 1x1 plates
come in bags of 90, so if you can arrange for you design to have
multiples of 90 pixels in each color and then place an extra one, you will
get 89 extra plates in each shade. You'll probably have to fiddle somewhat
with the brickoliser to come up with the correct design, but it is worth it,
especially if you are ordering multiple copies of the mosiac.


Hope it helps.

Does anybody know what the piece distributions, that is, how many of the
different bags, come in the pre-designed Lego mosaics (cat, dinosaur, • Johnny
Thunder, tiger)?  I'm looking to get an even distribution of a great deal • of
the 1x1 plates, and it would be much easier if I just bought the premade
ones so I wouldn't have to deal with ordering 20 or 30 individual copies • of
a 5 bar custom mosaic.

(...) Thanks for the info Richard. Strangely enough, I just test emailed my accounts, and they seem to work fine. I don't know what problems you were having with them. Must've been a sunspot or something :) Adrian (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) I just tossed this together, anyone is free to use it: (URL) is a 44x44 image, the same dimensions as the mosaic, and allows for the maximum equal number of bags; 5 each for 25 bags total, which is 2250 1x1 plates. You can get 26 bags by (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.general)
