   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.

My Railroad Crossing (rats, it seems that there are no URLs for individual models, so I can’t point you directly to it) model uses parts from all five bricksets, yet the cost is $18.95. So I don’t think you’re buying complete sets, but maybe bags from the designer sets (though this is pure speculation, I haven’t seen any answer from LEGO yet about what the real part sets are).

Being a minimalist, the first model I uploaded was a single piece priced at $3.99. It came with 77 spare pieces. I find that reasonable for a custom set.

LOL! I love it, having that available next to somebody’s model that took them three days to build. Now, if somebody were really evil, they’d create a separate model for each piece available and name it with the LDraw part number or something.
