I think there are two sides to it, it isn't always a bad thing. Sure,
if you just sit down with a pile of LEGO without prior inspiration, it's
better to have a bin unsorted, so you can dig around and let the muse
take you. But if you have an idea already very well developed in your
mind, shelves full of sorted lego certainly make the creative process
easier. Somehow, I don't think Starry Night would be quite as good if
Van Gogh had to use purple instead of blue.
