that is true, and now you can achieve an even better look with 4+ shades of
grey, try throwing in a couple of black and white pieces as well, awsome! not
only that, but you can still get the assorted grey bricks from LEGO, and not all
that bad of a price, when you consider the free shipping, and no sales tax,
(thats a big savings in NY!).

case in point, I just stopped in at walgreens, and bought several sets at
retail, (I haven't done that in a while!), and ended up paying just over $.01
per piece. not junk, either, I think I'm going to hold onto 80% of them for
future use. thats my two cents, Darren
