Here's a picture showing one of everything:

This looks very close, if not exact, to our assortment at Woodfield.

What is the cost for pick-a-bricks?  I assume it is by the pound.  Is this
correct?

Looks to me like a flat rate per container. $13 for the large, $7 for the
small.

Anybody know the average number of 2x4 bricks you can fit into one of the
large containers?

I have successfully fit 137 2x4's into a large container by stacking them in
successively larger discs with studs on the side.  When doing this, there is a
small amount of space around the sides that can hold plate or small, irregular
pieces, and there are two leftover 2x2 spaces that cannot be combined into a
single 2x4.  It looks like these containers are designed/priced to sell 2x4s at
a minimum price of about 10 cents apiece.

I can't speak for the small container (which appears to be exactly 1/2 the
volume of the large container) since I haven't bought one yet.

(...) Logically this means you should be able to fit about 826 1x2's in there, making the price about a penny each. Hmm... Are you taking orders? ;) ~Mike (21 years ago, 21-Oct-03, to lugnet.loc.us.il, lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.general)
