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.

Well, not necessarily. My Railroad Crossing (rats, it seems that there are
no URLs for individual models, so I can’t point you directly to it)

And that is a feature we really need, at least at some point. How else can we
talk about stuff (except by asking people to search by name?) More importantly,
how else are we going to publicise our models and drive incremental sales into
the system and help make LF a big success?

model
uses parts from all five bricksets, yet the cost is $18.95. So I don’t think
you’re buying complete sets, but maybe bags from the designer sets (though
this is pure speculation, I haven’t seen any answer from LEGO yet about what
the real part sets are).

I think it fits our guesswork too, it’s bags from sets. The part count on the
house matches closely, anyway (although it’s off by 3 parts IIRC) Peeron has the
bag info for some sets, but of course that changes over time sometimes. AND it
will be a pain to suss out. Swithcing to selecting bags for the palette instead
of sets (and including bulk parts already in the assortment) seems a good way to
go.
