I have the same problem. I always sit there, shuffling through the unsorted
pile of pieces sitting before me, a panic beginning to form that they may have
missed a piece when they were packaging them.

I have to agree with this, too. I almost got bored building the TIE-fighter
because of all the times that they said "2x". Same with the pod racers. It's
building something new that I really enjoy and when they throw a "2x" in there,
it takes the new-ness away from it.

PS The week after I finished putting together all my Classic SW lego sets, I
took them all apart and sorted the pieces by color, just to see all the
different colors (because someone mentioned how neat all the different colors
were). Boy, if it wasn't fun to put all the models back together again . . . .
