This could be done with slopes that had no stud column.
But somehow such pieces seem not very Lego-like. Hard for kids to work with
that way.
It also multiplies the number of roof system pieces something fierce!
You can cut your own bricks in half if you are really in earnest. I do.
Lego is not interested in making slope bricks anyway. They don't make all
the necessary pieces in one color, or make the corners ultra-rare, or make
only the exotic pieces like peaks in one color while making no peaks at all
in other colors that were otherwise complete. Besides, Town is dead, and
when was the last time a Lego town building used slopes for a roof?
More than anything this lack of basic slope pieces is why I am ceasing to
purchase any Lego. Expecting this, I stockpiled dozens of black and red Roof
packs in past years.
