I keep thinking of .space and how it'll be awhile before a whole MOC ship can be
built using just new colors. The same probably goes for .castle, .town, etc.

I thought the notion of theme-specific Starter Tubs was a great idea. It could
really give a boost to collecting enough of the new colors to soften the
soul-crushing news. In fact, my guess is that it would be the single-best route
to gaining more acceptance of the new colors. If AFOLs could get their hands on
a plethora of new greys in one shot and actually do something with it, then it
could go a long way towards mitigating some of the fallout.


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.
