I am about to buy some bulk packages of black bricks. But for less money I
could go to Toys-R-Us or elsewhere and get a bucket of *all kinds* of bricks.
So my question is: Are those in the 'bucket' as good a quality, or will my
robots fall apart due to poor fit. (I have to decide if I like multicolored
robots as well...).
Thanks for your help, Jerry
