Those are indeed great items--and I'm amazed at how rare grey really are. The fact that they were never made in black, I find just...weird. I'm interested in what they eventually say about the *other* Classic window moulds (especially the multi-pane window from the 1960s/70s, I think?). I've been looking at back messages to get an idea of when each sort of window's "last known appearance" was--but I'm still not quite sure. Those 1x1x2, 1x4x2, and 1x6x3 windows are especially tempting too--I had a few in my childhood, now all gone except for one very beaten white 1x4x2. I'd readily put in an order for 500 2x2 Classic windows in grey, maybe 1000. I'm less sure about the yellow low slopes, but I'd go for grey in those too. ;) Several people have lamented that they'd go broke getting in on these lots, and I'd have to add a resounding (and probably unhelpful) "me too"...but what is wealth, if not measured by LEGO elements? best Lindsay

(...) Lindsay, 1x2x2 windows do exist in black. But I can't say in what set. I purchased two of these, as well as one 1x1x2 (thin tall) window in black in a German toy stores train parts box back in the 80's. This wooden box with lots of partitions (...)

OK fellows, I want to chime in here for a moment..... I can't confirm this one way or another. What made me agree with Ben about this is the fact that those 352 Windmill instructions show the different levels of the building progression in different (...)
