Didn't LEGO say it wants to be the company we want it to be? :-) If we want
the mosaics to use tiles and we can convince them that we'll buy more if it
is tiles, maybe they'll offer it in tiles as an alternative option.

Much, much easier than removing 1x1 plates, that's for sure! 1x1 tiles have
a fingernail groove -- 1x1 plates don't.

I wonder if they chose plates over tiles because every plate has a stud and
a LEGO logo on it. Thus, it's immediately obvious that it's made from LEGO
elements. Tiles -- I totally agree they would look better and I would be
much more inclined to buy a mosaic using tiles -- but it would look like any
other traditional mosaic (except it's square in LEGO colors rather than
arbitrary shapes in arbitrary colors).

Sell me all colors! I'll buy tons and tons!
