I've got to agree--and thanks to Jake and whoever else
was involved in making at least this much happen.
The point is that at 62 bricks of said color for $5 a bag,
that's a *heck* of a lot better pricewise than the old
mixed assortment was, and now it's in dark grey and brown
too! The only thing I'm unhappy about is the limitation
put on the run (though hopefully strong sales can make
that negotiable too); 10,000 units of each is less than
one thinks it is.
The plates pack is pretty darn good too. It's a shame,
though, that this offering--really, the closest to a perfect
package for bulk colors in my mind--came only here at the
end. (Kind of like the 3x3 corner slope in light grey.)
So you can be absolutely certain that I have $300 set
aside to snag 50+ baggies, and maybe more.
One question, though, will the company warn us when a bulk
pack (like the brown tiles) switch over to the "new" color?
all best
