Yeah, I have to say I really liked those roof packs. In retrospect I'm not sure
what the best approach to this survey was. When I was picking bricks, I tried to
make sure that I picked things I would order bunches of. But concave/convex
slopes certainly weren't on my list, though. Sure, I want them and all, but I
don't need slews of them. Just enough to tweak my buildings. If they were
available in a bulk pack with 25 per pack? I might order 2. But decent-colored
windows? A zillion. Tiles? A zillion. Leaves/Greenery? A zillion.
The trick with bulk (IMHO) is that some pieces work better in a "mixed bag",
like bricks and slopes. The old style roof packs and brick packs were totally
awesome. Each time I'd place a S@H order I'd consider buying more. Breaking them
down into individual parts, like 2x4 bricks specifically, makes me less likely
to buy them. IE, I'm more likely to say "Gee, I need more tan bricks" than I am
to say "Gee, I need more 1x4 tan bricks". Windows, bushes, trees, though? Great
in individual-piece-bulk.
