Hooray!!!!
I'm not sure my comments won't fall into the 'me too' folder, but this means
a lot to me.
It appears that within the next couple of years, LEGO will cater to the
needs of builders like me.
This means I can seriously imagine getting all the pieces I need for one of
my larger creations without gathering them from around the globe a few at a
time or trying to decide whether another structure has to come apart. Or
worse, having to use a chewed-on piece I got in that last thrift-shop bag
because it's the only one left.
This means that I won't have to buy 50 sets to get the 500 copies of that
needed element, along with all the other pieces I don't need.
Can you say "no more buckets"?
This means I can say that one of my creations "uses 14,251" pieces instead
of "somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000".
I'm hoping that the "free software" is open ended regards size of model. I
have one model I already know needs 50,000+ pieces, of which I am only
beginning to gather. It would be awsome to acquire the whole bundle at one time!
There are a lot of possibilities these announcements have opened up for us
all. I wish I had the time to speak to all of them.
But, I don't.
