(...) Thanks Jake. In the old colors, I'd like to see the continuation of the '10,000 run limited' brick and plate packs. I'd like to see them unlimited for a while.

For me basic bricks, plates, and slopes are a must in real grey, dark grey, and brown. BURPS and 48x48 baseplates make excellent candidates as well.
