A conservatory is a building or room having glass roofing and walls used as a greenhouse or a sunroom. If in a residence, it would typically be attached to the house on only one side. Conservatories originated in the 16th century when wealthy landowners sought to cultivate citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges that began to appear on their dinner tables brought by traders from warmer regions of the Mediterranean. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki221978 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 that is true, 10228 is actually what got us into lego, so we are suckers for anything like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with the Town Hall... Rumor is the July refresh of the BAP walls will have sand green bricks. So you might be able to pick up a bunch (and make some subs) at a good price to BL it.

Buying a used set will cost the same and probably be cheaper. I did a town hall, spent over $400 and didn't get a manual plus I'm still missing a few minifigures.

In case you are in Santa Cruz, Bay Area ... town hall on craigslist for $100. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/tag/5639174902.html Posted a couple of days ago.

Well, if you're talking about back in March and April, yes, there were some sand green bricks at Pick-A-Brick Walls because of the Statue of Liberty Pick-A-Build. But mostly 1x1 bricks some flats and other small pieces. A few stores had 1x4 bricks. But I was wondering about this "July refresh" rumor...

I know the NYC stores have had the parts lately. And LEGOLAND California had Sand Green parts the last month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The had them in NYC when I was there in April, but only 1x1 bricks, 1x1 with side studs, 1x2 tiles, 1x2 plates, 1x4 plates, and 3 other tiny pieces. No bricks bigger than 1x1, which is what everybody wants: 1x2, 1x4, 1x6, or 1x8 bricks. Did you find any of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to dig out the supply I bought at LEGOLAND last month. I don't remember off the top of my head right now if they had 1x2 (or bigger) bricks. I *think* they did, but it's fuzzy right now.

Edgarama Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The sand green elements for the July wall reset are 1x1 bricks and 1x2 plates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Do some stores still allow purchase by the box like that? I heard back in the day they'd let you take an entire case of a brick type... or fill a case with a mixed batch and charge a better rate than buying 12+ large cups. Fact or Fiction? I can't imagine having that much building inventory on hand... so awesome. There's easily enough bricks in those two boxes to build half of Big Ben in sand green!
