  Got my order - two warnings!!!
 
I am still happy as heck about bulk ordering. However, I must warn you about two misrepresentations of the elements as shown on the Bulk Ordering Selection graphics. 1. Train windows - are clear NOT light blue tint as shown. 2. 1x4x6 Red doors have (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct) ! 
 
  Re: Got my order - two warnings!!!
 
Red doors? With transparent green windows? I'd have to see a pic of that - I can't imagine how ridiculous it looks. Hmmm - maybe the train windows would be better off clear, I'm not sure that many people would have use for light blue tints. I'm (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) This is a strong argument for seperating the glass from the windows and selling them separately when ever possible!!! Now, I know, some of these parts do not allow that since the glass is glued in. But to me "bulk" means one kind of thing. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

  Re: Got my order - two warnings!!!
 
Black windows with CLEAR glass??? My 10 packs all came with trans-blue. Greeeeaaaaat, that's all we need, totally random color choices for windows.

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.

I didn't get them myself. I'd like to see them posted somewhere as well. I like the fact that they seem to be making things that aren't available in any sets at all.

  Got my other order wrong (Re: Got my order wrong)
 
This is probably off topic here, but eToys mixed up an order of mine also. It seems whenever I order the dacta road sign set (advertised with 172 pieces), they open the box and send me one of the sub-boxes. They always fix it and send me another so (...)

THANK YOU for saying something! I got my eToys order last week, and didn't even open it - I ordered 3 sets of roadsigns. Sure enough, there were 3 white sub-boxes in the order, so I only got ONE QUARTER of what I should have! I called, complained, (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I just got my order for 2 sets, and found 2 small plain white boxes. opened one of them and thought it didn't look like 172 pieces.

  Re: Got my other order wrong (Re: Got my order wrong)
 
This is particularly worrisom also. I know I'm right because their website advertises 172 pieces, which is the count on the outside of the larger box. But when I call, I worry that they'll think I'm trying to pull a fast one. The sales rep I talked (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
