    Re: And the July Surprise is... —Tom Stangl
   Heck, the set really doesn't impress me much. I DO like the Tudor walls, and would love to be able to buy the straight and corner ones separately in bulk, so I could build decent-sized buildings. I DO like the hanging sign. I LOVE the blue chalice (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

     Argh! It's showing on the site now, but I can't backorder it! I know, I know, it's only a matter of time, they obviously use several different databases for the shopping experience. But I was ready to get some sleep, dangit! (...) -- Tom Stangl (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
   
        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Frank Filz
     (...) I think some other set also had a blue chalice. I recently bought a bunch on Brickbay (leaving the sign as the only part I'm currently missing from being able to build a Guarded Inn, of course in a few weeks I'll be able to make all the (...)

        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Gary Istok
     I too am happy about the Legends series. It is great that LD is making so many people happy. But I still want expanded Bulk Orders. Some clear bricks and 2x2 windows (blue, yellow) would be nice, as well as some macaroni bricks in many colors. Ditto (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)

        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Dave Low
   (...) Great idea -- why not leverage the production costs for the wall pieces by producing a US$5 "Inn Expansion Set": 2 tudor straight walls, 2 Tudor corner walls, and some black slopes and bricks? --DaveL (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.theory)
   
        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Tom Stangl
   Nah, that doesn't make sense. What WOULD make sense is ONE corner wall and 2-4 straight walls. Otherwise, you'd only be building skinny towers over time, to use up all the excess corners.

        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Dave Low
     (...) My bad. Just walls, or bricks too? Maybe something like <set:3732> in red and black? Or a whole new set, a medieval townhouse maybe... --DaveL (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.theory)
   
        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) IMHO.. Any time you put more than one kind of part into a pack, you run into the problem of how many of each to put in. This is true EVEN when the parts are "paired" like hinge tops and bottoms. So this is a real challenge. No possible (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.theory)
   
        Re: And the July Surprise is... —Frank Filz
   (...) I suspect that the number of builders who would have serious problems would be relatively small. One way you can get a higher ratio of corners would be to buy more Guarded Inn sets (may not be terribly practical depending on your ability to (...)
