Hello. I started reading these newsgroups through having just bought a bunch
of
Mindstorms/Technics stuff for robot prototyping at work, but I decided to get
some basic brick sets for myself as well, and I've been building a replica of
Escher's "Relativity". It's about two-thirds complete, waiting for me to buy
another box of bricks.
Question: where in the UK do people get bulk quantities of bricks, like that
chap in the States who built the Parthenon with over 10,000 white bricks and
plates? In all the auctions I see people selling tiny quantities of
specialised
parts. If I wanted to build "Relativity" really nicely, I'd need at least a
thousand bricks and plates all the same colour.
