    What set has black roof peak/gable? —Erik Olson
   You know the part on Build-A-Santa's Head that is a 1x slice of roof peak, with the funny hollow angled extension that fits over another slope brick... They come in the red roof pack but not the black roof pack, but somehow I've got two from other (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

     Oh, the gables are common in dark gray. In Ninja and Rock Raiders. The smallest RR set has one. (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

      (...) Yes, the only Robo-Raptor sets I've ever purchased were two of the 2152's for these gable "gable connector" pieces that Erik described. The set that had the entire range of black slopes was 730. I was sooooo happy back in the 1980's when I (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Erik Olson
     That Santa was one bit of Lego I did buy during my prefab-castle-loathing dark ages between 85 and 97! The two funny roof bits were totally novel to me. My experience in exotic roof bits was confined to 1 London Bus gift (2 inside corners, 4 outside (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Kim Toll
     (...) If I'm understanding the piece you're refering to here ((URL) (I believe Gary Istok calls them "Gable Connectors"), you should only need one of these pieces at the top of the 'T' in the roof, not three. You can use the regualr double slope (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Gary Istok
       (...) Kim, yes I was thinking the same thing as you were about needing only one of the gable connector pieces. But instead of talking about it I went off on a tangent about the Santa polybags. Yes 10 sounds right for the number of the black gable (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
     
          Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Erik Olson
      Wow. I'd like to see a sharp-pointy one. The present blunt ends don't meet up when you face two together. (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Erik Olson
     (...) That seems logical enough. Possibly it will solve my problem when I get home. I had plugged in a half-pyramid on the fourth side. Somehow it all seemed so much trickier last night. But, one peak brick and one gable leaning on it.. so obvious! (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

        Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Erik Olson
     Wishing for non-existent roof bits: Related to the half-pyramid brick in function: the studless slope. Same slope as a 2x2 slope, but without the 1x2 brick side. Suppose you have a 2x2 brick stack chimney in the side wall, punching through a notch (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         new slope pieces wanted (was: Re: What set has black roof peak/gable?) —Charles Eric McCarthy
      (...) I agree, the studless slope would be very useful. Most of the existing slopes could be offered in studless half-wide form. How about some more: * inverse slopes in 60-degrees * inverse slopes in 3-long, 4-long and 8-long versions, just like (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
     
          Re: new slope pieces wanted (was: Re: What set has black roof peak/gable?) —Geoffrey Hyde
      What I would like to see is something where we could build roofs of varying slope degree and have short pieces where we could build in a small attic study part, or something like that. The only problem I can see is it may well end up being a series (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
     
          Re: new slope pieces wanted (was: Re: What set has black roof peak/gable?) —Gary Istok
      I notice that some of the airplane slopes (on the top front) are made of 33 degree on the front, and 45 degree on the 2 sides. Perhaps TLC should create 2 pieces from this 3 sided slope, so that it could have applications elsewhere, such as a roof (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
     
          Re: new slope pieces wanted (was: Re: What set has black roof peak/gable?) —James Brown
      (...) I also long for access to these kinds of slopes. However, lacking them (and lacking any indication that they might exist anytime soon), I've starting accumulating 2xN plates. With plates, I can change angles, and have odd-shaped rooflines with (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
    
         Re: What set has black roof peak/gable? —Gary Istok
      (...) Erik, I too have wanted some of the non-stud slopes that you described. In addition, I would like to see a (1x1) 1/4 pyramid piece (half of a 1/2 pyramid piece), and a (1x1) piece that is only the sloping portion of the 2x2 inside corner (...)
