Hi Jake,
Here are a couple of possible ways to go.
1. Create theme buckets in old colors:
“Classic-Space Bucket” - basically this would include speciallized elements
found in the first lines of the Space theme - take for instance the light gray
elements in the Galaxy Explorer:
http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/inv/sets/497-1?withpics=yes as a guide -
various wings, printed 2x2 slopes, cones, brackets, steering wheels, the 1x2
plate with handles, the “space gun” (Peeron calls it minifig accessory torch),
round bricks, radar dishes in a couple of sizes, 2x3 slope printed with the
little planet symbol, etc. Throw in a couple of red and white classic smiley
spacemen and some blue bricks and you’ll have your best seller of all time with
Space-themed AFOLs. (Of course, a wonderful alternative would be to simply
release the Galaxy Explorer as a Legend in original grays.)
“Classic Castle Bucket” - something along the lines of this:

2. Alternatively you could create more focused bulk packs. As a castle
builder, I’d love to see the following packs in original colors:
Arch pack (3 flavors, light gray, dark gray, brown):
1x3, 1x4, 1x6, 1x6x2, 1x5x4, 1x5x4 inverted
Windows and doors pack:
these doors in brown:

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3644
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=40241
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=30223
arched window in both brown and gray:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=30044
hinges in both grays and in brown:
window 1x4x3 in brown:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3853
with appropriate shutters and lattice panes, also in brown
A stairwell in brown:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=30134
Slope packs in each of the three colors, including the specialty slopes:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3049
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3048
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3046a
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3045
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3041
Weapon packs (variety of swords, spears, etc)
Armor packs (both types of breastplates, various types of helms)
And, of course, a continuation of the brick packs previously offered (just got
mine yesterday -- thanks!).
Slipping into heretical mode, I would also like to see the above packs in new
colors (at least light gray), to help kick start my stockpile of the alternate
color.

| Wow, what a crazy couple of days! 250 posts on a thread I started. I'm not sure where to feel shamed or proud.
