(...) Sounds like they've set themselves up to give a pretty good bargain since a best case (for TLC) would be only 22 bags, so being able to get 26 bags is getting an extra 18.2% (or a 15% discount). Of course they may budget the thing for 25 bags (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

In my playing with Brick-o-liser (which has been hampered by the fact that it's very very slow.... even on a fast connection) the stock images are all larger than the 44x44 plate area, requiring resizing. Are people using actual 44x44 sized images (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
