Do you think it'd be weird enough for you to try and post a screenshot of it somewhere? I'm beginning to wonder if I couldn't use them as some twisted remake of M-Tron ... ;) Cheers ...

I got my parts in two lots. I got the first batch (the tiles and trees) in a padded envelope the other day and the windows in a box today. The 1x2x2 windows were correct (ordered two) but I didn't get two bags of the 1x4x5 windows. I got one of (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

To Brad Justus, I'd like to start be saying I appreciate this new bulk offer of pieces, even if they are a little pricey. My question is, when will LEGO start adding new items to the bulk list? Say, different colours for windows and doors, different (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

Maybe you are not following the threads here. Apparently, several of the images on the bulk order page are not the right pictures. 1. Item "G #3444" on page one looks like 45° roof ridges but everyone is reporting that the roof ridges are the 30° (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

The slip I received with my partial order showed that all of the windows (3346, 3347, 3348) were backordered. When I placed the order the operator said everything was in stock.
