Logic would suggest that Lego would have cosidered this. However, who really
understands how Lego works as a company? Inspection of their current
offerings make the cuurent system ill-thought. I can see the need for 3453
(100 2*2's) etc. But why is 5163 £1.99, when the 5388 costs 2.99?

Further, are the currect service pack pictures as good as the pictures in
brickset / lugnet ? I think not. Why did they not re-use the better older
pictures?
