Definately service packs.
I've picked up ~200 of them over the last year, and have used all but a few
hundred (maybe as many as a thousand - hard to say)
another good source is (predicatably enough) various castle sets. These are
good for the parts that you don't find in the SP (1x10, 2x6, 1x12, etc)
I will bid on grey bricks in auctions, but they almost always shoot out of my
price range. I can get them in the SP for ~$0.11 CAD (~$0.08 USD) and I will
bid up to about $0.12 USD just to skew my ratios a bit (2x4, 1x4, and 1x6 get
used a lot around here!)
I frequently see them going for $0.25+ though, and on occaision, even more
absurd prices. But I found out something recently which partly explains that:
5145 isn't sold in Europe!!? I just don't get that.
