Wings are, honestly, overrated. I rarely use them anymore. As for what a big
time spacer like me really would like to see in new grey:
plates
slopes
plates
hinges (finger hinges would be nice. Not click hinges)
plates
basic bricks
plates
tiles
And, oh, plates. Did I emphasize plates enough? If not, might I suggest some
plates. You could reissue the eponymous grey plates pack, the Sith Infiltrator,
as a classic in new grey :)
With this selection, a castle tub and a space tub would be basically equivalent.
Issue a bulk generic building tub of new greys that encompasses town, castle,
and space (and PLEASE, don't skew the balance too heavily towards small parts),
and then issue what would amount to greeblie service packs. But if they're not
inexpensive, it won't really help.
You need to provide a mechanism for someone like me, who has a rather
substantial collection, to rebuild the greys quickly, easily, and above all,
cheaply.
