I believe Lego designers introduced an addict element in the product. :)
This disease has 2 effects:
-You fell pity on your poor creations and fell compelled to buy more sets so
that you can build others without disassembling it. That doesn't solve the
problem. In fact you multiplies it!! Good for Lego! :)
- Even when you choose for murder (disassembling) your creations, you have a
sadistic tendency of taking photographs of your victims for posterity.
Digital cameras are the best option, since you need to see the result before
disassembling. In my case I used a Creative Labs Webcam. It's not great, I
know, but it fits and I already had one. :)
