   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.

(...) Hmm, then what would be nice is a way of telling when you are openning a new bag. For example, I built a Red Pickup truck, and my model set basically works out to be the Designer set that builds cars, but my model set costs 24.95. Now, if I (...) (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)
