You can buy generic blocks at Lego shops in a pick n' mix fashion. Not just blocks, but also men, wheels, trees, etc.

I don't know if they provide an online service.

This is in the UK, I don't know what Lego shops are like elsewhere.

Lego shops in the US are the same way. They're awesome.

Unfortunately, the only "generic" pieces available for sale in my country seem to be baseplates and 2x4 blocks in assorted colors.

I miss the svelte 1x16 pieces. They made such excellent beams for the large and airy structures that I liked to build, but they must have been part of a very unusual set because I can't find them anywhere else. :(

Bricklink.com is the place to go if you're looking for specific parts. It's sort of like eBay for Legos. At a glance, both the solid-brick (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2465) and perforated Technic (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3703) pieces seem to be available at reasonable prices, depending on what color you want.

Unfortunately, I don't know what shipping is like to your country, or if sellers will be reluctant to ship there. I'm in the US, so it's never come up for me. Good luck, though!

brickowl.com is a similar site, with what I think is a much nicer interface. Other brick sites are also available!
