NOT HAPPY. Had a look at some other choices and even our second choice is out of stock, if we want to stay with the same sort of colour brick we are left with one choice, Black Heath, although the colour is ok, we really wanted a brick that has a decent amount of colour variation, and Black Heath has barely any. So disappointed, the most important part of the house and we may have to use something we don’t actually like.

I had a delivery of Mocha less than a fortnight ago - I'm in Mernda. I've heard that Blackheath looks very different to the photos online... much more variation in colour Re: Building Wizards castle - PD Francis 29 – Bricks - NOT H 30May 21, 2010 7:22 pm Our sydney blackheaths are gorgeous. We see a lot of purple in them, however if you want a lot of variation the sydney batches won't have them. Where are you buiilding? Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Building Wizards castle - PD Francis 29 – Bricks - NOT HAPPY 31May 21, 2010 7:33 pm Jayneylou & Southies, we are building in Tarneit Melbourne. we have been told that all the Mocha that is around or being made once the factory is up and running again are all sold, the lady at Boral today said that 300 000 units were already on back order, so it could be 3 months before anyone else can get them. Jayneylou, you must have been lucky to get some of the surplus stock.

Are they saying that there will be more in stock...? If so how long a wait? That really sucks! We had picked a brick, then the day we signed the contract they called to say we had to pick again as they changed suppliers! We chose Boral Mocha... (orginally chose Selkirk Muscat Haze) Re: Building Wizards castle - PD Francis 29 – Bricks - NOT H 33May 21, 2010 7:36 pm Sorry, just read your reply about the timeframe... that really sucks!

You can see purple, blue, brown, dark grey........quite a mixed bag. Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: Building Wizards castle - PD Francis 29 – Bricks - NOT H 35May 21, 2010 7:48 pm Well that really sucks wizard, we had our first choice discontinued just before final selections last year. Isn't there a number of "chocolate and coffee" coloured and named bricks from Boral?? i seemed to recall there was a few in the Elan and Escura range. Or are you limited by the builders range? Might even be worth dropping by a Boral display over the weekend to find out what they have in stock before you make any final decisions. Good luck.

The Blackheath actually look OK in your photo - lots of variations in them. Honestly, once your bricks are up with roof, windows, doors, spouting and any feature render or paint all done, they look a lot different to how they look on the pallet. Re: Building Wizards castle - PD Francis 29 – Bricks - NOT H 40May 22, 2010 3:54 pm I'm with kek on this wizard-have you tried samples of your roof, guttering and fascias alongside? I can see loads of colours in those bricks you posted-but it has to be what you can live with, not us.
