Black 1x1 plates! Would you believe it? The commonest cack I have kicking
around at home, and LEGO Factory doesn't have any! If you build them into any
model, it comes up as 'not available'.
It's maddening trying to build something where you have key parts in key colours
not available in the palette (only one colour of 1x1 tiles? Loads of black
plates but not any 1-wide tiles? At least give us proper black 1x2 tiles
instead of grilles! Only one colour (tan) with more than one type of inverted
slope?) - but when what you do have in the palette can completely write off a
model, with no indication of why, I'm ready to hit the roof!
