As I understand it, the models at LEGOLand are glued which would make it very
difficult to replace just a few bricks if dammage occurs. I imagine that if
they need to repair a building or other model, they will simply build an
entirely new one using consistent (new) colors to replace the old.
Besides, they have probably done the same thing that many of us amateur builders
have done-- stockpile the old colors with both fists.
