Playing Blocks III

We did some birthday shopping and got two more blocks. At the time it was retiring, now it is retired, Imperial Column and ongoing favourite French Crest. This whittles my list of current tiles that I desire down to one: Piano Keys. However, the display only leaves space for pairs, quartets and sextuplets, so I'm going to hold off on Piano Keys until it has a partner, and the partner has to be something that goes with Trans, since that is the block that will be displaced from the living room display by the move of Musical Notation and the introduction of Piano Keys. My current wishlist of retired tiles doesn't really offer any options here either:
  1. T30 German Script
  2. T64 Roulette
  3. T82 A (Aristocrat)
  4. T89 Trademark
  5. PQ9 Stripe
  6. PQ10 Stripe with Script and Seal
  7. PQ11 Medieval Script

In fact, if I get all of these retired tiles, they more or less match up in pairs. German and Medieval Scripts, Stripey One and Two, Aristocrat and Trademark. The odd one out is Roulette, but it fills the game quartet in the living room display currently being held by Harlequin. In other words, Mr. Dickens better come out with a few nice tiles in the next collection.

Without further ado, here is the new bedroom wall (if you click the picture you'll get a larger version, which you can englarge even further with the zoom button).
Older versions of the displays are available here and here.
