So now...assuming all the "accesories" besides the 1x1's are purchased together, and the hypothetical 1x1 plate pack is purchased with shipping costs, and there are no other variables I left out, we should (...)

Some quibbles with your math: - Your math assumes no shipping cost for the hypothetical 1x1 plate packs - If you factor shipping into the cost, you should assume all individual items are purchased at once - I wonder how many brick separators (...)

(...) Wow, I screwed up a little on typos. The Mosaic comes to 34.94, not 39.94. Also, the brick separator is 4.64 total, I forgot to include that. Amazingly, my math was still correct! (22 years ago, 1-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Actually, subtract ($9.99 + $2.95 shipping = $12.94) the X-large baseplate, and (7.99 + $2.95 shipping = $10.94) the 100 pack of black slopes and a ($1.69 + $2.95 shipping) brick separator from the ($29.99 + $4.95 shipping = $39.94) Mosaic (...)
