Dear Lego,
I understand that Lego Direct was making encouraging noises at Brickfest
about making slopes available in greater quantity, variety, and colors.
Regardless of what may have already been said, let me add my encouragement
and back it up with a little shameless whining. Please have a look at these
two eBay auctions:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1616764194&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=995516180&indexURL=0&rd=1
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1618432022&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=996120736&indexURL=0&rd=1
The first auction is now closed. Twenty-six US dollars, plus unspecified
shipping charges (likely to be substantial, because the seller is in Germany
and most eBay buyes are Americans), were bid for just eighteen parts --
eight 3 X 3 black corner slopes and ten 3 X 3 black low slopes.
The second auction will not close for five days. It contains the same parts
as the first auction plus eight more parts, six of which are 2 X 2 outside
corner slopes. $26.00 has already been bid. Undoubtedly, the final bid
will be higher.
Would you please, please undercut this preposterous market? You can
probably still make a huge profit on these parts, while simultaneously
supplying your fans with parts that they really want.
Thanks for listening,
--

| (...) I second the request. I could use quite a few of these low sloped roof tiles. Once Lego offers a good assortment of low sloped tiles and re-issues other roof tiles in bulk, they will allow builders who like to display a more creative approach (...)
