(...) I assume that these are the Arch windows that you can also get now in Gray in 6094 - Guarded Treasury. (URL) so these would be #2 on my list after your #1. Otherwise I like the rest of your list. (...) Oh I hope your kidding ;-) (...) Thats (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Heh... Here's my list then. If I don't otherwise specify, assume I'm talking grey & dark grey, followed by all the other colors. :) 1) Bricks. all sizes, but mostly 2x4 2) Plates. all sizes 3) Tiles. 2x2 and 1x1, then the other sizes. 4) (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) 1:(silly me, forgot to footnote) As seen in 6067 Guarded Inn as the front door, or 6080 as the prison door, or any number of other classic sets. Recently seen in black here: (URL) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

[x-post and FUT lugnet.general] (...) It's interesting. When writing about the historical way TLC has ignored AFOLs, people tend to make two rants: 1. There aren't enough AFOLs to make a financial impact on TLC. 2. TLC won't offer direct parts (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

I think BURPS would work well. I think they would work well for train clubs (raised bases, mountains, tunnels), castle groups (ditto), and town folks (again mountains and tunnels). I hope these are indeed among the pieces available for ordering. I (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) This question seems to be key. What kind of Lego elements will generate the most long-term demand, in terms of the number of elements consumed? I don't think new parts, parts in odd colors (such as pink), or rare parts that you need a hundred (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
