If you want to try hardware store paints instead of hobby store paints, look at Krylon. They have a plastic primer that lets you put normal Krylon colors onto plastic. I've used it for once or twice with no trouble, but never on something this small. Mono stashes: I know that whatever didn't get converted to Treehouse sets got sold off, because I bought some at the time (The nice folks at Loony Labs were kind enough to announce the transition and give us some leeway to buy mono stashes). If you can't find mono stashes anywhere else, you're gonna just have to buy sets. On the plus side, I would bet that you could sell of any excess mono stashes you were left with on Ebay without taking a loss. If you are just going to paint them, then you might look at pink treehouse - it's the only available mono-colored stash, and the bulk pricing starts at 6 units, unlike the 10 units of the treehouse sets. On the other hand, that doesn't get you the exact colors you might want. On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 12:57 PM, David L. Willson <DLWillson@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > How do I buy pyramids in bulk? How do I buy mono-stashes? I know that I can buy 5 Treehouse kits, but I started with Xeno, and I don't want to have both cyan and blue, they're just too close in color to be useful, IMHO.

I'm sure what I asked is a FAQ, but I don't know how to search the ML archive to avoid re-asking it. Similarly, does this ML have a FAQ? Is that a FAQ? Why do we (not this list, but ML's in general, still use mailman, when it sucks so badly when compared to BBS/Forum type discussions? Why isn't the FAQ, if there is one, linked from the ML's information page? > > -- David > _______________________________________________ > Icehouse mailing list > Icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/icehouse > -- Michael Kohne mhkohne@xxxxxxxxx
