Can't say I'm screaming for them, but you have a point here.

Don't like this one. This is where you can use all your creative imagination
in using all those odd little pieces trying to create this look. You don't
want everything in pre-fab do you?

Being dutch with english only a second language I must admit I haven't the
faintest clue what rusticated bricks would be....

Yeah, that would be a nice touch.

LEGO could certainly do with releasing the missing links in roof
construction. In the past I remember there where bricks for making a corner
in the top of a roof if you know what I mean. Haven't seen them in years.
What I'd really like would be inside and outside corners to change from 45
to 33 slope.

Not too sure about the windows...
What I would really need to build some houses from this area would be bricks
in red brick color. Not bright red like we have them, but darker brownish
brick red. In bulk of course. Same goes for tan. Tan would do nicely for the
lighter shade of brickwork used around here, but I'd need 1xn in bulk.
Another personal favorite are wheels for 1:20 scale (LEGOlandpark)
motorbike. All we have is car wheel is 200 varieties, but decent motorbike
wheel are rare...

| Dear LEGO Direct, Previously I made a request for some new LEGO Architectural elements that can be used by the Town and Train Systems (or any other systems that can find it useful). After viewing some of the nice pieces used in the Belville System, (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct) !
