I agree with Steve. It would take several thousand pieces to make good "adult
sets" like Jodi describes. A skyscraper might require 40 floors of 30+ windows
each and the detailing around them. The base would be at least four 32x32
building plates. I've awakened from dreams where I just got the newest Lego
set with 5,200+ pieces - all to build a single model!
I can hardly wait for the reality.
