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) !

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.
