Personally, I think that the best way to go is to take the 6 main themes
(Castle, Space, Town, Train, Pirates, Technic) and figure out, for each of
them, what parts builders of those themes most want (and for each part,
whether they want old lt grey, new lt grey, old dk grey, new dk grey, old
brown or new brown or some combination of them)
Then, combine those lists (there will be a fair bit of duplication for some
parts I suspect). The result will be a list of parts that should be made in
the old colors.
Also, the idea of releasing buckets instead of service packs is a very good
one (I for one would buy a Space bucket in old grey)
Plus, I think that there should be 1 legend (or something equally as good
like the Santa Fe or Blacksmiths shop) in each of the "core" themes
mentioned above per <insert period that is possible to do> and that those
sets should be done in the old colors.
For example, for the first go for pirates, you could do either another run
of the Barracuda or you could do another set such as the Skulls Eye
Schooner or the Rock Island Refuge. Certainly the Black Seas Barracuda
contains pretty much all of the pirate-specific parts commonly used by
pirateheads and which normally come in brown/grey/dk grey
In castle, you could do another run of the Black Falcons Fortress or
alternativly something like the Kings Castle.
And so on.
Anyhow, anyone want to start the ball rolling by comming up with a
suggested set of parts for <insert one of the 6 themes here>?

| You’d think I would have learned my lesson by now about the color change and just taken refuge in a concrete bunker. Nope, not that bright I think! I come to you with a final update, and some good news, as well as bad. Bad news first – After much (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, lugnet.lego) !!
