If you mean for a coaster maybe. But the blocks that would be perfect for scenery and the station and what not.

yea bricks are ok for the station and stuff, 400 pieces wont help you much for coasters. You need to get the real coaster sets off ebay

Same with me, Ebay is harmless and extremely convienent if you use it right. BTW, it's "Tubs". Tubes is a completely different thing...lol...

Just read the fine print and make sure their feedback is above a 95(i shoot for higher usually). Just make sure to bid late so you're sure to get a good shot at the set. I don't get why people are so paranoid about eBay.

And shipping for a ss or rr set should not go over $20 unless it has extra peices or something. I have seen some for $10.
My dad bought me 3 things off ebay and wont let me buy something with my own money or with his money. After about a month of asking why, he said not because of the price, because the fact of having a hundred gazillion pieces. When I have 2 ss sets. Does anyone have any way I can persuade my dad? I think ive shown him cc10 and jogumpie's massive colection, but no respsonse.

Here's what you do: Start building something you KNOW you don't have enough pieces for, then run out of pieces and say "hey dad, i don't have enough pieces to finish this. Can i buy some off of eBay?" That should do something.

^I got a similar deal. Mine was 2 SS's for $25, shipping and all. What you have is still a great deal though. Go for it...
DJMK: My dad started to get upset when I was in the begining craze to. I already had a lot of pieces, and I kept getting more. I bought a few things behind his back, and they were delivered while he was working. Eventually he stopped caring after he saw what I was building and how much the pieces did help. Basically doing what CC10 said will be perfect...

I don't know, It ends on my birthday, when I will get the rest of a ss set my dad bought me. I know I still wont have enough pieces to finish the coaster but he still wants me to wait and see. It will end before I get home from school that day, so I probably wont get it. there is another rr and ss with extra pieces but sounds kind of risky on how shes packing it and if their even near complete.
