Well, good. I was hoping someone would be amazed. :) And thank you!
Actually, it wasn't too bad. Only 3 bricklink orders. There were a few
sellers out there who had amassed small hordes of these bricks. I think I
hit all the major hordes. Luckily no one else wanted to do this, or I would
have been out of luck.
This particular brick is hard. It appears most frequently in set 7000
<http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7000 Young Ankylosaurus>, with a whopping 4. I
needed 300. I was hoping to find the legendary warehouse of cheap lego with
this set as the star, but that never happened. And this building was,
truthfully, way out of scale. It should be 4 times as big. But windows and
sand green slope cost prevented it.
Anyway, as soon as I get my pictures developed, I will post an announcement
on this building. Seems people are really liking it. That makes me happy.

Amen!
Thoa, my next copper roof building may be done with plates. I think the
texture will be more accurate with plates anyway.
