As I think that Lego has at least turned the corner in getting back to their roots with the 2003 lineup, I only have three things I think would be perfect.

The only thing I have been wanting for the last 10 years is 6x8 or similar sized plates(i.e. 4x10, 8x8) in any color.(though I would prefer black or grey) I would like to purchase a few thousand of those please. -Mike Petrucelli (who is limited in (...)

(...) The only problem with that is all I want/need are lots of just one size. Preferably 6x8 but something similar (4x10, 8x8, etc.) would suffice.
