I was looking for a lot of sand green when I was trying to put together a Green Grocer set. (It's $750. since it's been discontinued. Yikes.) I found very little sand green anyplace, barely any on Bricklink at the time and none in Pick-a-brick at all. I ended up building it with regular green bricks.
Yesterday I finished assembling the Tower Bridge kit. It's pretty awesome, but I think they inentionally used more bricks than necessary to inflate the brick count. Instead of using a single 1x12 flat, that I know they make, they would use 3-1x4's. I noticed this in a few situations. But it's still a cool set. It took about four days to build it. It'll be together for a while, taking it apart will take as long as putting it together.
