In the original post I made a couple of days ago, I mentioned that LEGO has
agreed to find some ways to help make this transition smoother. There has
been some discussion about items that would be important to lock into the old
colors, including some specific parts selections. There has been some
discussion that it's time to move on and focus on building up stocks of the
new colors.

I'd love to hear from you what your choice would be, and what parts you
consider "priority" for either solution.

1.  With the (possible) exception of train track (especially 9V) and the 48x48
baseplate, I wouldn't want parts to be 'locked into' a particular color, if that
meant they were completely unavailable in other colors.  But parts that I would
like to see available in quantity in retired colors:
all slopes, really, but especially
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3685
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3041
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3049
and after that
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3037
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3684
; also

http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3063
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/2462
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/6107
.
Or did you mean parts that will always be available in old colors?

2. To make new colors available quickly in quantity, I would recommend offering
different colors of
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/10063
and
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/10059
as well as the brick analogues of those two sets and a comparable set for 4x,
6x, and 8x plates.[1]  Alternatively, if SKUs are really short, different
colorings of
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/10148
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/10145
but with the addition of the 2x2 corner bricks and plates would do.

[1] To go wildly off-topic, I think the Bulk selection overall should be based
on those five sets in each of the ten basic colors.

Wow, what a crazy couple of days! 250 posts on a thread I started. I'm not sure where to feel shamed or proud. (I know, I know, all I should feel these days is shame) Since my fireproof suit is beginning to strain under the pressure, I'm going to (...)
