Hi,

I was just taking apart my 6074 Black Falcon's Fortress today, and realized
the small selection of green plates in that set.  But for the longest time, up
until maybe the Pod Racer Set and Flash Speeder, there were no sets (or very

Now a lot of us complain about how TLC has their own endless supplies of
brown, lt blue, pink, whatever-colour-you-wish bricks, and how we don't have

set that requires the use of those bricks!

For example, if it wasn't for the Wild West Theme, why make brown bricks for
public use?
