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).

dark grey - scarce, in some current Star Wars sets (like Sith Infiltrator).

-  2x2 regular slope inside corner bricks:  rare in white, scarce in
blue and gray, common in red and black, unknown in yellow (?).
Unknown in tan, dark grey, green, turquoise and brown

-  2x2 & 2x4 regular slope peak bricks:  rare in white, yellow, scarce
in blue, common in red, black, unknown in gray (?).
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.

green - rare, 1 2x2 peak in Robber's Retreat Ninja set (only one I know of)


-  2x2 gable connector peak bricks:  scarce in black and gray, common in
red, blue, unknown in white or yellow (?).
No longer common in blue, surely? Also available (scarce) in dark grey.
Unknown in
tan, green, turquoise and brown.

-  1x2 half pyramid peak brick:  rare in yellow (I saw my first one ever
on EBAY recently - where are they from?), scarce in black and gray,
common in red, unknown in white (?).
Scarce in dark grey and turquoise: unknown in tan, green, and brown.

-  2x2 regular slope inverse corner bricks:  scarce in black, red, gray,
yellow, blue and white.

-  3x3 low slope corner bricks:  rare in yellow, scarce in black and
blue, common in red, unknown in white or gray (?).

-  2x2 & 2x4 low slope peak bricks:  rare in black, scarce in yellow and
white, common in red and blue, unknown in gray (?).

-  2x2x3 extreme slope corner bricks:  rare in yellow, scarce in white,
red, blue, black, gray and red.


Although blue is verging on common with them showing up in a number of
Knights Kingdom sets.

And gray is abut to make a comeback with 4 of them in the MTT Star Wars
set.

-  1x2x2 windows:  rare in black and gray, scarce in blue, yellow and
white, common in red.

-  1x4x5 windows:  rare in yellow, scarce in blue, common in red, black,
gray, and white.
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.
