Windows feature prominently.

I’m not sure I’d characterise 2 windows and one mullion out of 20 as “feature prominently”, (on the “any color” list, the other one doesn’t matter as much) but OK


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 results, I tried to keep in mind that this is a cross-section of the community’s needs. I’m surprised that the scales tip so heavily to specialized items, such as the Windows and Garage Doors (See 1).

As to the 1 x 2 bricks versus 2 x 4 bricks debate, I voted for all 1x bricks, as, in my constructions, I use few if any 2x bricks. I’d chalk this one up to just personal preference. Some folks like the stability of 2xs, some the increased flexibility of 1xs. Personally, I’d rather see 1xs than 2xs.

But, as for the windows, the numbers are good for windows and corresponding elements. I didn’t bother voting for mullions, because it stands to reason that 1 x 4 x 3 windows would include the crucial bits (just for the sake of the mass-consumer’s market, not the AFOL who may have thousands of spare mullions laying around). But, the fact that mullions are in the mix proves that the windows are wanted, as the majority of folks threw two votes away on window elements.

I think we should all just see where this data takes TLC. We really have no clue, although we may take stabs, as to what they plan on doing with this data.

1 I voted for the garage doors and corresponding elements just as Bruce Hietbrink voted for the Turkey. I never expected the item to reach the top. :)
