It sure has been quiet on the Lego Direct front.  No new parts
sets.....  rather disappointing.  I wonder what the future holds?  I do
wish they would come out with some more items, especially windows
(castle and town), some arches would be nice, as well as the 2x2 round
bricks, some more slopes.....

I'll say,  One side of me says that it is so cool that we have gotten what we
have but another side says I want more.  I don't know if they are working up • to
a big batch release or if they are just spoon feeding us with little tiny
portions.  I worry that its the latter because of the "Brown" release we just
got.  In all the "Brown" release wasn't bad but it wasn't super either.

I would definitely go for more Town windows (Classic, Basic, and the large
"store front" varieties).  I would also like arches in colors other than gray,
and again like Gary more slopes.  I think those are very reasonable wants and
probably nearly guarenteed money makers.  I would also like to see Large • plates
in 4x and 6x sizes although they may end up being a bit expensive and possibly
not big profit makers.

I like Gary am a bit disappointed but I have stopped hopeing to much.  That • way
I can be excited when they do come out with Black Classic windows...

I think the things I want most now are gray 2x2 tiles in bulk, and Technic beams
in Black, White, and Gray (can I hope for Yellow too?) of different sizes in
bulk, especially 1x16s.  I would be VERY happy if those two things came out
right now.
