Same thoughts here. I was very happy to see the tiles be so cheap. They were always the element I didn't really want to let go of, but, since I can't keep everything, those would go up for grabs. Of course, the color & size choice are a bit (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Well my question is: Where is the $30 to $40ish (depending on size) 1000 piece bag of basic elements? I don't know about the rest of you but when someone says bulk I think in terms of thousands.
