I was glad to see that TLG has introducted orange in a theme/system other than
Star Wars.  I was disappointed when the Halloween buckets were not
reintroduced this year. I only picked up three (maybe 4) buckets last year.
Of course these buckets contained only slopes and bricks.  No special pieces
or plates.  The Mos Espa pod race set had a wealth of special orange pieces,
but no sets outside the Star Wars line had orange until these Artic 2000 sets.
Right?

Maybe we'll see more of this color in other themes as well.

Yellow has been my favorite brick color for building (mostly castles) and
black for ships. Tan has taken its place as #2 now that I am doing more
layouts.

What is the consensus on colors: more is better, or stick to traditional
colors?

(...) In my view it depends. More colours is better if it means we're getting clearly distinguishable colours that happened not to exist before - I like the introduction of bricks in orange, tan, brown and green that's happened over the last 4 years (...)
