There are three new bulk packs that together offer a great selection of low
slopes in black, particularly the corner slopes.

The inclusion of the 2x2 inverse slope in 10053 is odd, the missing 2x2 low
slope apex probably would make more sense. I wish the ratio of 2x3 slopes
(44) to 3x4 slopes (24) in 10054 was heaver on the 3x4 slopes but that is a
minor nit. I am happy to see these three options available and the S@H team
is probably sick of me calling them every few days to see if I could order
them yet.
I have a project that needed a bunch of 3x4 black low slopes - fortunately
Cary Clark loaned me some so I could finish it. My cart is teed up waiting
for 10054 to make an appearance before I hit the "complete order" button!

10053 and 10055 are available now, I would expect 10054 would be available
soon.
