Threadjacker @greg strikes again! And he’s training up acolytes @paulamalu and @team-holp in his vile ways.
I’m just messing with you guys, but seriously. Cut it out. 😉
Greg – I doubt I have a trip to York in me this weekend, although it would be fun to attend a PennLUG meeting someday.
Joe – Good eye; I do the same thing (stop and take pics of cool buildings that might be rad in our displays), but I feel like you’re 99% more likely to follow through on actually building them. But actually, that gives me an idea – what if we created a flickr album of inspirational pics? Doesn’t have to be limited to town display type stuff, either…
Paula – that’s a broad question, and I would suggest we take it off this thread and into a new thread (wait, I think we already have a Bricklink tips thread.) But short answer at what I think would be your primary question: If you use PicToBrick to generate a mosaic, it’ll tell you quantities of each color. I’d recommend creating a Wanted List based on that Bill of Materials, then use the wanted list to find a few stores that will get you what you want. See Josh’s post for some more detail.
