I don't think we need to limit the COLOR, only the type.  Supposedly they will have to
mold the LD bricks on demand, or in large batches.  In that case, there should be no
reason why they can't mold them in "strange" colors while they are filling inventory.

We need to limit our "wants list" to bricks in sizes and colors which are currently
*in* production.

Mike, I concur.   If you look at what is not easily available in sets, then some
of the items I listed on a previous post are valid:  clear slopes - rare in most
any set,  2x2 windows - great for making skyscrapers (1x4x5 or 1x4x6 are too
large for skyscrapers), tiles - in certain sizes and colors, corner slopes -
especially low and steep slopes (rare in all sets), 2x2 rounds, and of course
train windows and window glass.

I personally would order 1,000 (or more) of each of these items (except for the
train windows, which I don't use).

(...) I don't think so, and here's why: doing one part in different colors is (probably) treated as a different production run for each color. And it's doubtful that LD will want to stock an entire production run of a single part in a single color. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)
