In addition, will we be able to specify "color" of each part we are group
ordering!?! Then I could get my Trans-Purple window elements and Flaming
Swords!!!!! I guess we could take a group vote to appease the bean counters
at LEGO.
Oh boy, oh boy!

I'm maintaining a page with a list of the parts people would like to see from
Lego Direct. It's not official or anything, just a page I put up to let LD know
what we're interested in. You're welcome to send me an email with your wants
list; just see the submission guidelines at the end of the page.

Another few words. Totally transparent knights!! I was thinking about this,
and I thought it would be really cool in you had a fully-equipped "ghost
knight", with the visored helmet and the old style body armor, but instead of
a clear head, put in one of those UFO heads to make it look menacing. Come to
think of it, with one of those UFO helmets (made transparent), you could make
a really cool Predator!!
Just my $0.02
