Hmm, BURPS. Actually, I think you could almost get away with the rectangular
ones. The triangular ones aren't that useful in bulk. I did use a bunch in
my cliff scene, but only because I wanted to conserve rectangular BURPS. If
I had twice as many rectangular ones, I would not have used any triangular
ones.
Grey baseplates is another good one. Hmm, while we're at it, could we have
the 48x48 baseplate in a few other colors (blue would be way cool).

Agreed.

This is definitely true. If I could buy tubs with a wide variety of parts in
the new colors at 5 cents a brick or less (at least 75% greys and brown, but
hey, if you want to throw in some of the other colors, that would be cool
also), I would buy a bunch of those right off the bat to be able to create
decent constructions in the new colors. Heck, price them right, and I might
acquire more brick in these colors than I have in the old colors.

| (...) It is available in blue (URL) not as a service pack. The 48 x 48 baseplate is the most important choice for a part to have in gray, and it would be great to see service packs of that baseplate in gray, blue, and maybe tan, green, and clear. (...)
