| Between 10,000 to 20,000 bricks in all sizes, only a couple of hundred more interesting
bricks, sold a lot.
Most are standard production bricks.
Also have a fair number of Kiddicraft bricks.

It's a fool's battle right now 
I've seen lots of your beautiful pictures aswell!

They are said to have used leftover or floor sweeping materials but that may
not have been strictly true, who knows.

Howdy. I've been collecting for a few years now. Love 'em all! Do you
know of Bricklink - it takes a while to become familiar, but if you'd like
to invest some time there, they would happily answer any of your questions.
Mursten, Bayer, BASF, Grangemouth, Wrexham, and other manufacturers were all
contracted by LEGO to produce plastics for their bricks. LEGO provided them with
2x4 molds as test examples.
I'm not sure as to how they all aquired the molds they did, but the Mursten
ABCD bricks are in relation to a clutch test - how firmly they grip to another
piece.' A' being the tightest clutch and 'D' being the loosest.
Due to those test examples LEGO now use the 'C' as the brick of choice.
Modulex is an Architectural scale brick - being an ignorant Aussie, I'm not
familiar with it exactly. They're ultra-cute, that's all I know about
that.
The milky, marbled, and semi-transparent bricks were all produced by the aforementioned
companies because they were pumping coloured plastics into the molds they were
provided with without cleaning the injection pipes before adding another coloured
plastic - in the case of the milky/semi-transparent, they were not adding enough
colour to the mold?
I will do a quick research on prices for you regarding the bricks I've offered
you.
I can tell you that I have never seen a double A, B, C, or D brick being offered
for sale, let alone a complete set. Having said that, does not mean they do not
exist.
If you're not in a rush, I'm happy to get you more information!

| Have to agree with Nathan here, post a few pics and just watch who appears.
There are a number of bricks associated with Wrexham too, many of which aren't
that well known and not particularly collected, maybe only one or two of us.
These look like many other standard bricks, nothing unusual, the only one I would
pick out other than the waxy looking bricks are those UK sideways logo bricks.
Samsonite of North America produced these sideways logo bricks too but the mould
markings, studs, logo style, spruce position are different as are the colours
available.
They come in CA and ABS.

If you have a link to something that will inform me of exactly what I'm selling,
I really would appreciate that - more than you know.

| I will try this next few sets, thanks.
Looked at it but wary of trying until now.
In Suggestions, brickablocks writes:
| | When you upload or part out a set, you can set up concatenation settings that
will combine old and new remarks, so you don't have this problem. Customers
get pretty frustrated shopping in bL stores that have the same part in several
lots.
In Suggestions, Stuart9 writes:
| | If I part out a set, I add the set number to the comments which then shows up
in the order info.
This however has a drawback, it adds a separate entry for each of the parts each
time you part out a new set, you could end up with many parts listed numerous
times.
Might deter some from ordering but you can find the set quicker.

| Unless you can provide proof, photo's etc of sealed bags they won't accept
that it wasn't altered, I understand why, no criticism.
I had the same issue with some heads that in theory couldn't possibly come
from a particular set, I know they did but I had no proof sadly.
In Catalog, Teup writes:
| | That's funny. I just encountered 4 of these:
With "X" bottom in Light Bluish Gray in some 2019 sets. I mixed together many
sets so unfortunately, I can't trace which one it's from. But it's
definitely a set from this year. According to the catalog, the part died out
in 2014.

| Looks more like light grey but that doesn't exist.
My guess, a bad production run with not enough colour.
Definitely seen the dirty grey colour baseplate before.
