Gray is now available in so many sets (and has been for a while) that I
wouldn't call them scarce any more - I have stopped accumulating them
and started selling them, I have so many. There are also more colors of
slopes now readily available, so I think we should include tan (scarce),
brown (unknown), green (unknown) turqoise (unknown) and dark grey
(unknown).

Unknown in tan, dark grey, green, turquoise and brown

There was a 2x2 grey peak in teh Gungan Sub. No 2x4's tat I know of.
Mike pointed out one in the 8880 but he also listed that as a low slope
peak so I don't know which it really was. Unknown in tan, dark grey,
green, turquoise and brown. There is a tan 1x2 regular slope peak in
Scorpion Tracker.

No longer common in blue, surely? Also available (scarce) in dark grey.
Unknown in
tan, green, turquoise and brown.

I wouldn't say these were common in anything but red. I know many older
sets have them but they are in no current sets and hard to find.
