I agree just let us order what we want from the list. Why must people be
forced to either give away a design before they even have a chance to build
it for themselves or go through time consuming machinations to protect their
intellectual property.
Isn't this the whole idea to encourage imagination and creativity ... the
bricks themselves inspire. Creations evolve, they don't spring fully formed
from my mind.
I think this opportunity to customize a tub of bricks is even more important
for children than adults. Children are the original thinkers ouside of the
box. Adults are the ones that keep shoving the kids into boxes. Stay in
line, color inside the line, do it this way...follow the instructions.
-IMHO, it is the parent buying the set for the child that wants the
instructions, not the child... Children want to choose their supplies as
well as decide what to do with them. Adults are the ones who keep asking
*what is it?* Well, the truth is it doesn't have to be *anything* to be of
value. Everything doesn't have to have a label.
