Thanks I just ordered 20 of the packs today and plan on ordering some more
probably each month for quite some time. I have started a large SW project
that is going to start with a B-Wing hanger bay and expand from there into what
I hope will be a large modular base.

I have done some of this but unfortunately there arn't many Castle sets
available in my area any more except for a few Knights Lord Castle's and they
go for 70 - 80 Dollars U.S.

I was wondering why most auctions for Gray Bricks go so high. I love gray but
not at more than $.10/brick although like you I might go as high as $.11 for
2x4 1x4 and other more useful sizes.
Thanks again,
