Herer you can see contents of the four bags I have purchased so far:

I have probably missed on the colors on some bricks, I could not find them
in LDraw and had to just put something that I "think" is the right
description of the color. That goes for the Dark Blue that was VERY dark,
Dark Red that looked mor like Wine Red, Tan that probably is some sand
color, Med Blue (I think this is correct). Is there a RGB color chart on web
someplace that I can hold up to the part and compare to find the correct
color?
And as you can see there are a lots of right wings og right wedges with just
a few left wings and no left wedges. And there was no minifig heads or
bodys, only feets and wigs.
Is it so that the bricks in these bags is unlikly to find in large amounts
in any sets? Or maybe only one or two pieces in one or two sets? Like the
tan/sandcolored ponytail wigs, I could not find any set with that colored
wigs....

Øyvind Steinnes
PS! I'm going to buy more of those bags today :)

Hi Øyvind, Tobbe has inventoried his finds as well: (URL) in Copenhagen a toy store had these boxes in November, where you could fill the zip-bags yourself; I bought 8 over a couple of weeks (50 DKr / bag), and at average it was 411 grammes (...)
