I completely agree with white, black, lt gray, and dk gray in the top 5. Kinda wonder how red creeped in.

But the parts types results completely baffle me.

Me too. I can get all the 1x2s and 2x4s I want for under 2 cents a piece (with judicious shopping for tubs) but nary a piece I selected made the list (train doors, train windows, train door rails, town windows, and architectural elements) So who wants 1x2s???? And why?

You could pick up to 10 colors so I really don’t care about color that much. No train parts made the list at all. So much for our vaunted buying/voting power I guess.

  
For what it’s worth, nothing I picked made the top 20 part-color except new gray 1x2. I voted for a lot of fences and cylinders.

I like fences and cylinders.

(...) IMHO, I feel that they do figure prominently. 3 window/window related items out of 20 is 15%. Compare this to the 20% that basic-bricks make up or the 10% that plates make up, I'd say that Windows made a fair showing. When examining the (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
