Yes those are hard to come by. And Mike is right, those 1x1 blue tiles are
very scarce. I didn't think I had any until I found 12 in an old box.
That got me to thinking about what pieces are rare. Yes there are rare slopes
and arches such as any corner slope in yellow (low, regular, steep), and the
half arches in red or yellow. But what about more common pieces? One item
that I found out was quite hard to come by was the WHITE classic 1x3x2 window.
This white window is hard enough to find, but the ones without the window sill
are really rare. I didn't have any in my collection of classic windows
(thousands), so a German collector friend sent me one of the 2 he had. Another
rare window is the 1x4x5 large window in yellow. Other rare items include 2x2
clear tiles, white 2x2 inside corner regular slopes, and gray 2x2x3 corner
steep slopes.
The list goes on and on.

| (...) And I am the one that should lighten up? =) But seriously, let's see this list, Gary. Do you have a text online with some or all of these comments you make from time to time? I'd certainly like to read it... -- Richard (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.general)
