Gary is voting for the parts *he* wants.  :)  When Brad asks for votes (I think
it should be done using a script or something, and not a
"reply-to-this-message" type vote), everyone will be voting for the parts
*they* want.  I know I will!

OK, Gary is voting for the parts *he* wants, and I am pointing out
that it is probably not much more trouble to have more colors
than white and gray, and I'm also adding some pieces that *I* want.
What is your point?

As for voting here - no, that's not *formally* what we are doing.
Brad implied that that we would be able to formally vote in a
couple weeks or so.  However, I think this is the right forum for
informal voting for the pieces we want.  What's wrong with
"reply-to-this-message" type informal votes in lugnet.dear-lego?

Well yes, I am pointing to the parts I want,  but I didn't list all colors because we
don't really know if, when we pick a piece, are we restricted to a single color?  Or
will they say "OK 2x2 tiles it is, in what colors do you want?"  Too early to tell.
That's why I kind of kept it to a few colors.  (And with the arches I kept it to the
2 rarest but still (hopefully) in production colors - the red and yellow half
arches.  How many of you have lots of those red inverse half arches, and yet can't
seem to find any regular red half arches?)

And I did mention train doors and windows, which I hope is part of the first batch of
bulk items, even though I have no use for them (I'm not a LEGO train hobbyist).

Anyway, it's way too early to argue over this stuff.
