One other possibility would be allowing us to use existing bulk packs in our
models. If I am building a house with a black roof, then I could upload a black
roof tiles pack and use that. The problem I have with the current system is the
same as yours, there are too many parts in each palatte that do not get used in
the model. These palatte sizes are too large and too expensive. 10 element
bags do seem a bit small. But 25 or 50 element bags would be great. Hopefully
some fan input will improve the piece selection. Currently I do not want to
build anything and order it because I can just go and buy the designer set.
