If you look at my Brickshelf:

you will see that I am the sort of person who likes to set their own

Actually - I have to say, I find your examples of custom parts very
interesting. Given the number of times I have thought that I wish Lego had
made a brick like that..

I wonder if we (as a community) could set up a site for the submission of
well thought out, well designed custom bricks, and have a voting system,
with the intent of drawing Lego's attention to those with the most
votes/signatures. I am not sure how much attention Lego pays to its AFOLs,
but I am getting the impression that they are beginning to do so more...
I always thought more curved (both simple and compound curve) bricks, and
some larger panels would be useful. The site could include the call for
re-introduction of bricks whose production has ceased (ie technic stuff
phased out for liftarm).

What I'd like to see are corner parts that blend existing parts together, Say a
45 degree slope in one direction and a shallower slope in the other direction. I
could also do with corner pieces for quarter round parts.
