I would agree that just to get a few 2x2 windows the Dacta and service packs
are not the way to go. I actually bought 2 of the Dacta packs mostly for the
1x4x3 windows so I lucked out and got the 2x2's at the same time although now I
have more red doors then I know what to do with.
I would love to get both 2x2 and 1x4x3 windows in any color along with mullions
and shutters in any color. I would also like if they brought back the shutters
for the classic windows. The most important thing is to get 1000 windows
without having to get 250 doors.

YES!! As a fortunate consequence of having all those 2x2 windows from the
service packs I was able to add some variety to my Inn.

I found lots of uses for them including a 1x6x4 window a 1x8x2 window and the
dormers.
These are great windows I still have a few in white from the 70's but about
half have lost their glass probably thanks to rough play when I was a child.

Ahh, But just think of all those 1x2x5 DkGray Bricks that you get as an added
bonus! :-) (sarcasm intended).
