Your best bet on these may be to buy 3033 tubs, and sell/swap the
ones you don't want.

Probably bulk packs from Lego Direct for these: it's really hard to
find them cheaper, because they
weren't in any bulk tubs, and not as common as other colors in sets.

Your probably want to look for Grey Plate Service Packs on
closeout, but I haven't done the math.

For anything from SW sets, check www.sanburnsystems.com first: Scott
nearly always has the best prices on them.
For the stormtroopers, you should consider saving up your pennies,
and sucking up as many of <set:7128> as you can during the
post-holiday clearance sales. When they hit half-price, it becomes
practical to buy them just for the figs, and set up a Brickbay stall
to sell the other parts.
You also need to become a master of the "advanced search" engine on
Brickbay. If I were tackling a project of this scale, I'd probably
take a shot at writing some Perl scripts to automate the searching,
because you'll want to check often.
