Martyn, welcome back from the dark ages! My dark ages were from 1966-79, so
I've been out for a while. Back in the mid 80's I needed 180 of the 2x2
yellow windows, so I ended up buying 90 copies of small basic set #517. At
$3.99 per set, that got to be a bit expensive.
You are correct that the selection of LEGO windows sucks! Most parts packs
seem to have too many doors, and the sets contain only red windows. It
would be nice to have parts packs with only 2x2 windows (one in red, one in
white, one in yellow, one in blue. (And even black and grey windows would
be great). I could use an extra thousand in each color.
Also I wish they were still making the classic windows (#214 1-10). I just
can't get enough of the smaller 1x1, 1x2, 2x1 windows, as well as the larger
3x2, 4x2, 6x2 (with shutters), 6x2 (with 3 panes), 6x3 (large picture
window), and yes even the old small classic doors (2x3).
The selection of windows & doors in the 1960's (10 different) was much
better that the selection today.
Oh well,
Gary Istok

| Actually, I bought several DACTA packs from (URL) the other week. So you might try there. The road signs are a good deal, as well as the plates, the windows are so so , just compare the piece count to SAHS, the roof tiles are nice as well. (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
