And on the subject: how many people build alternate models of sets?  I
realize that taking your entire collection and creating something original

sets...isn't that what Lego is partially about?  That even with a very
limited number of pieces, one can always build many different things?


Whenever I buy a new set I build an alternate or two just to get a feel for
the selection of parts.  That's how I determine whether it's worth buying
multiples of a set.

Building within the constraints of a single set (or a handful of random
pieces) is a great way to get past a lull in creativity or come up with new
ideas.  It's also a way to kill time without having to dig out the whole
collection.

Compared to unlimited MOCs, alts inevitably look more spartan.   So building
them never seems to bring much fame (unless your name is Claude).
