Heres to bulk beams! S@H Europe had the 5237 Technic pack for a while last week or the week before. I suggest you keep checking, as many of their packs have come back in stock for short periods of time, I would assume as they send off all orders and verify what (if any) they have left. Keep a watch on 5235, just in case it comes back in stock. But YES, I agree, they really SHOULD release large Technic beams in bulk. I'd love to see packs of 10 or 25 in black - 1x16s all the way down to 1x8s (but packaged SEPARATELY, not as mixed size packs!). -- Tom Stangl ***http://www.vfaq.com/ ***DSM Visual FAQ home ***http://ba.dsm.org/ ***SF Bay Area DSMs
