Ah, I must chime in and "me too" Mike here. I have spent $100s in Julie's shop
(I call her "KrenZILLA;) and consider her one of the very best (if not the
best) parts bursters. Most of my MOCs have at least some and often 100s of
parts I have purchased from her:-)

Yes, there is a sad economic law going on here, Jonathan. If 1x1 tan tiles
aren't worth .18 a piece to you, you will never own them. Your only recourse
is to follow Mike's advice and burst sets that contain them yourself and sell
of the rest of the parts. That way, you would probably get your tiles for
free-- less your sweat equity in time invested. But for all of that work,
$3.78 (21 x .18) is SO worth it. You will learn that, eventually.
