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 (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

I think light blue and orange 2x4 bricks should be a possibility. Obviously the 2x4 brick is an option and light blue should be because it is in a current Throwbot/Slizer set.

With all the desire out there for non-common colors, I think TLC sees the potential for profit. But in the beginning, I think they will be comming out with already produced color/part combinations. The easiest way to get the bulk parts to begin (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) 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. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) Agreed 100%. I think we are looking after sought after volume parts which are in current sets. I'm thinking of parts like castle walls, 4561 thin wall windows and the like.
