Hmm. Looks to me like 6987 only has 3 1x8 bricks, so you'd be dropping
about $1200 bucks to get your hands on 25 1x8 bricks going that way. And of
course, you're SOL if you don't want black ones. Me, I'd spend the $5.99.
Or were you not looking for 1x8 bricks, but rather cool space sets?
Different market, different wants.
Me, I've dropped easily a grand US on bulk packs to date, and for some odd
reason, I don't feel ripped off. Probably becuase it's about 50 times less
(rough guess) than what I'd have to spend to get those elements from other
routes.
I'm also still not interested in space, and still not wasting my money on
any 6987's.
