I tried a version of this last year with my advent calendar for my
niece. She got the big castle set (in 24 sections) with a princess
added in one of the two towers. It was quite popular, but I can't say
for sure that it wouldn't have been popular, even without the princess.
Play well,

I agree, this is an excellent suggestion, and in fact it is a mystery to me that
they are not doing it already. A few carefully designed specialised parts would
almost certainly increase the mass appeal of such sets. While making tracks
with existing parts is of course possible, it can be quite tricky and time
consuming. It would be very natural to have something that could be snapped
together with less fuss...

Wow - that's amazing, congratulations! I (and I expect others) would be very
glad to see some close-up photos showing exactly how your construction works...

I got the latest BrickMaster set today, a mini-scale Atlantis submarine. It has
a Christmas present inside: two red 1x3 tiles!
Yes, you read that right: 1x3 tiles.
Tiles. Three studs long, one stud wide. And red.
The instructions list them as part 4533742, and the number molded into their
underside is 63864.
Thanks, LEGO Group!
