And if I subtract the cost of a 48x48 gray baseplate (normal US$10??) and
sloped bricks around the boder from the US$29.99 price of the mosaic, is it
worth $.007 (that's 0.7 cents) per 1x1 plate?  Seems like an excellent deal

$39.94) Mosaic kit...

you end up paying exactly $6.42 for the maximum of 2340 1x1 plates (I

(...) Hmm. I bet they're *really* 90-count bags and the extras are for if you go over 88, not 90. That is, I'll speculate that if you need 87 or 88, you get one bag. But if you need 89, 90, 91, 92, or any number up to 176, you get two bags. (Just a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
