The problem I have with the current system is the
same as yours, there are too many parts in each palatte that do not get
used in the model. These palatte sizes are too large and too expensive.
10 element bags do seem a bit small. But 25 or 50 element bags would be
great. Hopefully some fan input will improve the piece selection.
Currently I do not want to build anything and order it because I can just
go and buy the designer set.

Well, not necessarily. My Railroad Crossing (rats, it seems that there are
no URLs for individual models, so I cant point you directly to it)
|
And that is a feature we really need, at least at some point. How else can we
talk about stuff (except by asking people to search by name?) More
importantly, how else are we going to publicise our models and drive
incremental sales into the system and help make LF a big success?

Hmm. If you dig around in the page source for the model pop-ups, you can find
the lxf file:

and the thumbnail:

Of course, an URL that goes right to the model would be a lot nicer.

Good hacks. Can someone else follow those links and buy the model though??? Im
thinking not.

Well, try this:
http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH001&mid=36E88CAD-352F-4A46-A594-CA28229B54A8
I went to the gallery, found the railroad crossing, opened the popup and did a
price check...that gets you to a webpage.
You can also email your model to someone. For use on LUGNET, though, this would
be the way to go.

Cool! And the Building Instructions link gets you the .lxf file. Great work!
Replacing everything after mid= with everything after the last slash in the
.lxf and .jpg links gets me a link to my Yellow Jet:
http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH001&mid=f376e653-c50d-47bf-904f-80bd5c33bdbf
It looks like you cant buy two different LEGO Factory models in the same order
- they both have the same SKU (LFH001), and theres a one per customer limit.
When I tried to add my model to the cart after adding Joes, I get this:
# Oops: You have exceeded the maximum number allowed for this item. No more
of this item can be added.
