   Interesting.  I wonder why sand red, when sand green has
   obviously already had a much longer and larger run for the
   Statues of Libety.  (I almost wanted to say "Mothers of
   Invention."  Ack.)  Does a 2x4 sand red brick come in any
   current set?  (I don't have my LoM sets assembled so I
   really don't know.)

   That aside, sand red just isn't that useful unless you're
   making a LOAD of LoM landscapes or pink marble structures.
   That's before the variety issue that Eric K. mentioned in
   a parallel message. I would have preferred sand green or
   sand blue first, but any progress is good progress from my
   perspective.

   best

If my imagination is thinking of the right color combination, then perhaps in various sizes of bricks and plates this color could be useful --if Red enough--might be suitable for Imperial Guard or Imperial Armada land structures (detailing (...)
