I don't mind if the elements in question are hidden inside a model (the 2x8 blue
brick inside the A-Wing comes to mind as an example) - in fact, sometimes I find
those tidbits useful; however, where this practice has gone too far is the MTT -
although I don't (yet) own it, and although I like green plates just as much as
the next guy, I'd say that when the misc. colored pieces replace outer design
elements, then this practice has gone too far. A question for Lego: If extra
colors are seeded in, why can't we have clear? Or even brown (that A-Wing 2x8
would have been great in brown)? Or tan?
