Is buying sculptures as a source of cheap bricks a good deal?

   I am considering purchasing a LEGO sculpture for the bricks.  i.e. #3723
LEGO Mini Figure or #10018 Darth Maul.  The cost/piece comes out to around
$0.085 each (including freight).  By comparison, a 50 piece bag 2:4 bulk
bricks from S@H is $0.139 /piece.

   Does anyone have any feedback on:
1) The types of bricks normally in a sculpture.  Are they mostly 2:4 or 1:2?
Are there many longer/bigger bricks included?  (The reason I ask is that a
2:8 brick in a S@H bulk pack costs $0.36 /piece, so I'm thinking the more
large-size bricks are included the better the deal, no?)

2) The bang-for-the-buck in buying pieces this way?  I think I might do
better looking for sales, but I never seem to find the big discounts and I
thought this may be a good alternative...

   Thanks for your input!
