MBC doesn't know where your LDRAW directory is, so you are only seeing
the parts that are internal to MBC.
Get the LDRAW directory like James said, then throw away all of your
preference files that have anything to do with LDRAWing
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/.
When you start MBC, the first dialogue box will be the one for locating
your LDRAW folder.
Oh yeah, never delete the last brick, just change its part number. If
you delete the last brick, MBC will crash when you try to insert a new
brick.
Oh yeah too, get a parts catalogue too, so you know what part numbers to
use.
