I really can't understand why you (not only you but other people who
also said that) are so upset with current (I mean old) way of packaging.
If you just open the bags to make piles of each individual bag, instead
of a big common pile, I think you can find whatever pieces you want
during the process of building easily, at least after the first 5-10
minutes of the process. I built my UCS X-wing in a hotel room, on the
bed, and I didn't have any problems with finding proper pieces. In a
home, sitting on the carpet, it could be even easier.
Random color "insertion" parts the thing I don't like much, too, but not
for the adverse effects on building time (I don't think this exists) but
since I prefer having variety of parts of same color instead variety of
colors of same part.
But anyway, any producer company must optimize their manufacturing and
storage capacity to maximize income, and this is *really* not bad. And I
actually don't care much if the random colored parts are not visible
form the outside, like 5571 Big Rig (I always use the same tactic since
I don't have too much of a collection). Otherwise, it's complete evil to
my eyes (i.e.. Millennium Falcon)
