But that's my point I guess.
I can't buy my station, but I can buy an Airfix kit
And I don't buy Lego to display as a sculpture - I buy bricks to build.
OK, so I would build it once, then use the parts elsewhere.
What I really want is just to buy the parts I want.
But no, in spite of all the effort that lego have put into bulk bricks, I
can only buy 1% of the bricks I really want.

yeah, that's where we differ. I never get much building done because
I can't bear to break my models once they're built.

Bulk parts are still pretty poor but I reckon if people order enough of
them they'll soon sell everything. If the volume is there it has to be far
more profitable than
making kits with expensive packaging for retail.
