A few to add:
Slave I - TONS of green slopes, brown, etc., and coupled with the
Landspeeder (also a good one) for $15, this is a great set.
Also, I gotta give a nod to the Young Dinosaur series (7000-7003). These
have a good bunch of grey and dk. grey slopes, some grey and dk. grey bricks
and plates, and a few other interesting pieces. However, at $3 a pop, it's
better to get them on sale.
As for the Harry Potter sets, they are a bit expensive, but on sale, they
are excellent value. They have lots of arches (useful ones!), plates and
bricks in interesting colors (like orange; useful to an extent), and they
are *wonderful* for interior-type stuff, minifig accessories, and animals.
Some examples of these:
cupboards and drawers
wands, jems (and other trans. elements), books, etc.
frogs and owls
So, all in all, the HP sets are definitely worth a look, especially when you
can get them at 20%+ off.
