Thanks for facilitating this, Jake. I know this whole situation has been rough, and you've handled it like a true professional. I was truly shocked at the colour change at first, but am over it now. It's time to move on, and to focus on the things (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) Yup.. nothing can outdo TLC when they decide to push the button on the injection machines. At the retail price, those bulk packs will represent about USD$250K.

Jake! Thanks. I just ordered a modest quantity of old color light and dark grey bricks and plates to ensure I can complete an existing project. I will plan new projects around such parts as I already have and around whatever new parts are available (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, FTX)

(...) Ah, good point. The 1x1, 1x2, and 2x2 are my primary building staples. I rarely use the larger 2xN bricks, so they usually don't end up on my Bricklink wanted list Well ok then fellas - call up LSAH right away and have at 'em! :) Spencer (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
