Wasteful indeed. I bought 20 copies of Tim Goulds dark red wall (about 112 dark
red 1x2 bricks in each). Each time I also rec'd bunch of factory boxes. (which
went right into the recycle bin).
Interestingly, I ordered these 10 at a time, and the last 10 came as one poly
bag filled with 1120 dark red 1x2 bricks. The factory boxes were included and
sent flat.
