Thanks Brad!!! My 15 year old dream has finally become a reality!!
It is nice to see that your first initial offering has given a little bit to
everyone!
White 2x2 classic windows! Yahooooooooo! And white 2x2 tiles! Excuse me while I
wipe the drool off of my keyboard..........
I do like the idea of prepackaged parts. Saves on manual counting.
As Kevin Loch stated, perhaps you could use some ideas for future bulk packages.
Here are a few sample items I have thought up. Note these packs contain more than
one piece type, but are all related to each other. And only one color per pack:
Large Arches Pack (1x12x3, 1x4x5 (half arches), 1x8x2, 1x6x2).
Small Arches Pack (1x6x1, 1x4x2, 1x4x1, 1x3x1).
Small Tile Packs (1x1, 1x2, 1x2 (central stud), 1x3).
Large Tile Packs (1x4,1x6, 1x8, 1x10).
Small Rounded Bricks pack (1x1, 1x1 (cone), 1x1 plate).
Medium Rounded Bricks pack (2x2, 2x2 plates).
Large Round Bricks pack (2x2 quarter circle, 4x4 quarter circle).
Fence pack (1x4x1, 1x4x2, 1x4x2 (gate), 1x16x1 (girder).
Steep Slope pack (1x2x3, 2x2x3, 2x2x3 (corner), 2x2x2 (pyramid).
Low Slope pack (1x3, 2x3, 3x3, 4x3, 3x3 (corner), 2x2 (peak) 2x4 (peak)).
Regular Slope pack (current mix of all regular sloped bricks).
I haven't included a window pack because I am still waiting to find out if the
classic era window molds are still available.
THANKS AGAIN BRAD!!
