They are limited to the PIECES currently produced, but they don't seem to be limited
to the COLORS produced. I know of no current set using 1x1 round plates in light
blue, yet they are all over LLC.
Since they are producing the 2x2x3 steep corners for the castle sets, they obviously
have good molds to use. I would hope it wouldn't take much to run off a few thousand
of each color before stopping the use of that mold, if they had the brains to reserve
some decent warehouse space for LegoDirect.
