.Here’s my appeal for this set, so much so I’m buying two more:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=41949-1
Here is the research on the DOTS set I bought. The 1×1 round letter tiles are printed well. There is some vertical variance, but only noticeable on close inspection. The letters are tricky to get perfectly aligned, precisely because they are tiles are round.
But, for the same reason, lend themselves VERY well to arched arrangements of letters and marquee signs, because they can be turned to orient themselves in arched or turning patterns, including corners. Flexibility here for differing City/Town signage styles.
4 of each vowel except U and Y. 2 of most consonants. 4 of LMNRST. A much more English based assortment instead of Dutch. +10 1×1 round tiles with random symbols with the possibility for multiples.
W is a straight legged upside down M. Z is not a rotated N, but unique.
S, H and X orientation DO matter, but N, I and O do not.
There are no numerals in this set.
These sets are $30 each. By its nature, nearly 100% MOCable. Not too shabby indeed. 3 of these sets should cover a line of building storefront signs, and keep it subtle and consistent, for example, as some suburban plaza owners demand.
The printed DOTS 1×1 symbols and/or tile built corporate logos/printed tiles would fit right in.
The set comes with sorting bin and a key shaped part specifically designed to pop off the tiles. Includes pastel tag shaped parts and 3 lockable rings for bags if you want to do that: 2 in lavender, 1 in orange. The tags are 2x medium azure and 1x coral in 3×8, two in cool yellow in 3×6. All tags have a half stud rim around them so the tiles won’t pop off, because they can’t be nudged underneath past the protective rim. Added bonus.
There are 10 colors of 1×1 tiles. Each color has 5x of a 1×1 with curved end, 11x 1×1 quarter tile, and 2x standard 1×1 tile. Five are in pastel colors of pink, dark pink, coral, medium azure and lime. Five of these colors are standard colors: red, orange, yellow, blue and purple.
There are 6 1×1 tiles with a translucent diamond shaped cap that’s taller than a standard tile and some 1×1 transparent round tiles, including 6 1×1 rounds in trans-pink and satin trans-light blue. 9 fluorescent trans-bright green 1×1 corner curves.
The letter tiles are going to skyrocket on BrickLink. Best to get them off the rack. Previous letter tiles from the Business Card set have skyrocketed into the $1-$2 each, especially for vowels.
If you’re looking for a large scale lettering system for your City/Town, this is it. 3 sets for $90 can cover a lot of signage across multiple buildings if the letters are parsed out cleverly.
Get this lettering system now before the scammers jack up individual letters past reasonability.
I know I am.
