something wrong with my printer.)

I've just got some sand-red 1x2 on Thursday for testing as city bricks.

Maybe those dark-red bricks will come out in bulk and we can try those.

I think the sand red works well for buildings (much better than blue or yellow:)

My overall feeling is that sand red is on the right track, but not quite there.

The pteradactyl that came with the Island hopper would be the perfect
'brick' color in my opinion.  I havent yet seen the dark red bricks (aside
from the pictures on the web)..but my inclination is to believe that they
are too dark. I hope I am wrong.  With all these colors, the main thing, I
think, is variation....a city block can have many different flavors now.

Best,

Jonathan
