This was ultimately cool:

I just wish it was available also in white, tan, gray, dk.gray & brown. As
it is they've kept offering similar sets in red and blue. Ick.

Came with 6x8 plates, 4x12's, 4x8's, 4x6's, 4x4's, and all varieties of 2xN
and 1xN plates (at or below 10 long)

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.  These
sizes are large enough to cover a decent amount of space, yet small enough to
be highly versatile.  I don't really want all the extra small plates and added
cost I would get from a few thousand 5217s just for the 6x8s.  Anyway currently
Lego Direct offers packs of 1xNs or 2xNs.  Well what about the 6x8s?  I really
don't even care what color they are at this point. I would prefer grey or black
but I would even take pink at this point. I have been wanting these for about
10 years but it wasn't untill LD came along that I thought it might actually
happen. 6x8s has been the only "bulk pack" I have really been wanting since
they announced they would be making them. I would get a bunch of fence packs
and clear 1x2s but without the plates to utilize them, what is the point?

(...) Currently many sets include the new 8 x 8 plate in various colors including Black, Dark Gray, Tan and a few other colors. (URL) can find many thousand for sale on BrickLink. (URL) will admit, though, that I find this size a bit awkward to use (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)
