(...) Maybe TLC should consider "archetectural kits". That is a pack or even a set that has suplementary pieces (and digrams) for things like dormers and gables. Or style packs like tudor or gothic. (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Right on Eric. I have many tens of the red and black Roof Brick packs. There always seem to be extra supplementary bits left over, when a typical roof consumes the 2x4 and 2x2 from many packs but not all the corners and peaks. It seems like LEGO is (...)

There is a clear need for service packs of small quantities of unusual slopes. LEGO itself has provided evidence: Page 31 of the January S@H catalog has building suggestions for Bulk Paks (incidentally, the suggestions are a great idea) for a bus (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
