Hi,
Sorry for the confusion, my use of the words "small text" refers to the size
of the word LEGO on the top of each stud on a brick. NOT for example 1x2
bricks with the word lego painted on the side. I do not have bricks with
writing on the side available.
I do have lots of old regular bricks with this type of small stud lettering
to get rid of however.
Old bricks tend to have very cylindrical studs, with crisp, small LEGO on
the top where as new bricks have studs with a larger flatter LEGO and a
small chamfer at the top rim to make disassembly easier. They come from
different molds, and are made from a different type of ABS that is more
slippery and shinier.
