Well ideally they would just go back to making everything in the original
colors. I really wanted to like the new Spiderman and Harry Potter sets too.
The mini-Star Destroyer set really irks me though. The perfect space accessory
pack ruined by new neon grey. Anyway back to the topic at hand...

I agree the specialized yet still generic non-theme specific parts are the most
useful aside from basic bricks.

The only other thing I would add is 1x1 brick with 4 side studs and the similar
1x2 "rocket" multi-stud piece. (I would like the old space jet with 1x2 plate
but only if the above was done first. Of course placing them end to end could
look interesting on a castle or town building too.)
