I don't know if frustrating would be the right word, I would say
challenging.....
To build with the model shop supply of bricks is a dream, almost unlimited suppy
of parts, in a great array of colors. But since you can't take them home at the
end of the day, building at home is no different for me than anyone else out
there. The only thing I really miss is the 30% discount I got as a Lego
employee!
But things are pretty good, or at least way better than they were in the past.
With Pick-a-brick, and Lego direct, there are so many options that weren't there
before. And like you said, with Bricklink.com you can get almost anything you
need. Officially Legoland model builders can only get bricks that are in the
current stock of what is available for that year. Of course, this is only a
recent development. But they can still use the bricks that were in stock in the
shop before, or the elements that they had produced earlier.
But since I do mostly scupltural models, I use mostly basic brick and plate, so
a lot of the special pieces (hopefully!) I won't need too badly!

| (...) What? No more making special orders for bricks that have never been produced for sale? Bummer. Well, I guess it doesn't matter much to you anymore, but that's got to be a serious disappointment for the three new MBs. (20 years ago, 8-Mar-04, to lugnet.build)
