Anyway, I vote for more light gray.  Normal and reverse slopes, etc.

I agree.  A whole bunch of trees aren't much good if you don't have enough
bricks to build a building around which to put your trees.

Certainly would have expected these to come out before a new color like sand

Oh, I don't know that I agree with this statement.  To my eye, the color
looks somewhat like faded old brick (a la turn-of-the-century building).  At

I think the new colors are fine, but if not produced in reasonably priced
quantities of basic bricks, then they aren't much more useful than... more

Although I am patient, I must agree that the lack of light gray bulk packs surprises me. I would by many pounds of the stuff. But I have always assumed that my desires do not reflect the true sweet spot -- though I figured the star wars, castle, and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
