I do have to agree a lot of the elements offered are great. I'd go
for the dark blue windshields, lab windows (perfect on space bases)
and gas tank pieces. The parkas are awesome too, and could perhaps be
used on a large IP2002 setup (if it was assumed the planet had oxygen,
or if someone was working in a pressurized but really cold area of a
base). The tank treads are really nice too, and could again be used
in space. Use of the Mindstorms macaroni pieces as flexible pipe is
another good one which I hadn't thought of before. I could do without
the large wall sections which are angled or even the 4x5x1's in blue.
If I want 4x5x1's, I would want to see them in white or gray. They
work wonders when you're building large spaceships.
