Im not sure TLC still does that. He just bought a couple of the 2012 Ninjago
sets, and the instructions do not have any suggestions for alternate models.
Instead, they have a large centerfold checklist of the various weapon
accessories that can be collected. We may be seeing another shift taking
place. Bionicle had an element of that collectible incentive, but it seems
that with Ninjago it is central to the series. They use specialized pieces
(minifigs and minifig accessories) sold only in certain sets as an incentive.
But is it a trend? Because at the same time, TLC does more than any other
company to support the free-form use of its product. Rebrick and CUUSOO are
the most recent efforts, but my son has been sending in snapshots of his
creations for years hoping to get one in the LEGO Club magazine.

In terms of using specific elements as incentive to buy more sets, it certainly
is a trend. They finally picked up on a complaint that the Star Wars fans have
been voicing for ten years, which is that we wanted a wider variety of minifigs.
Now just about every set that comes out has a unique minifig that you cant get
in any other set.
