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 had known that adding detail x or brick
y was going to force me to open another baggy, then maybe I wouldn't
have opened it. My model would be almost as good, but then I wouldn't
have so many extra parts. (My model used 151 but the set contain 278).
