I wonder if some of the rarer stuff will ever be available again. Maybe the slopes
in rare colors, and maybe the light blue, pink, purple, teal, brown and beige bricks
in all sizes. But I haven't heard about the classic windows (I asked Brad Justus
here in lego.direct). Somehow I don't have a good feeling about them (besides the
2x2). I doubt the rare minifigs, spoked wheels, etc. will be made again. We'll
just have to wait and see.
