I stumbled on this article accidentally and it intrigues me. I agree that LEGO
is most likely aware of what many afol's want. Sometimes they do give us these
things. However, it usually is because that piece is necessary for them in a
set, not because we want it. An example is the 2x2x3 double convex slope in
red. (one of my favorite peices) This peice is necessary to make moc's like my
albatros d III airplane. The problem was that you could only get them in
blacksmith shops released in 1984. Anyway, Lego rereleased this piece in one of
their new designer sets. We also got cypress trees briefly. I know there are
tons of pieces I want like grey slopes (especially peaks), black roof peaks
(these should NEVER run out), brown 1x4x6 doors, brown ladders (old type), etc.
I think we occasionally get nice suprises. Hopefully they will happen more
often in the future.
