I think that if we got enough want lists like this, we could put something
together buying just current sets.  With a cross reference of set parts
lists, we could determine which sets would have the mix of parts most
requested by fans, and then get a large quantity of those sets.

The Star Wars sets are a good source for Gray parts as well as various
tiles.  (I think that the Sith Infiltrator may secretly be a grap plate
parts pack in disguise!)

Given enough requests, I am sure that we could find a combination of sets
that would fill most of those requests rather efficiently.
