| | | (...) Yes those are hard to come by. And Mike is right, those 1x1 blue tiles are very scarce. I didn't think I had any until I found 12 in an old box. That got me to thinking about what pieces are rare. Yes there are rare slopes and arches such as (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
