Since recently locating all of my old parts [1], and purchasing some
StarWars sets, I've been looking to get the most variety of parts ofr my
collection.  What current sets contain the best assortment of parts of
each color?  The colors I'm *most* interested in are Dark Grey, Black,
and Brown, with parts consisting of Plates, Bricks, Slopes, and
"special" pieces (Brown Tree Limbs, Grey BURPS, Space Wings, etc.).  And
Since I've got everyones attention, what is/are the colors that you have
the most/least parts for [2]?

discuss bulk purchases....
