I agree entirely. Lego and DK's response to this of course would be that
the pictures, parts and colours are only a guide and you should use your
initiative to build from the parts you do have, missing the point by a
mile as usual. When my wife (!) and daughter wanted to have a go at
building some of the figures, I brought down one of the huge boxes of
gash lego I have accumulated, and we still had difficulty making a
figure the same as in the book.

Now what about if they made a set of parts for each book? You read it
here first folks.

Pass my comments to them by all means.
