In Jan. or Feb., I got myself a 5571 Big Damn Truck, and assembled it with my
little brother, who was 8 at the time. We took turns - one would find the
pieces while the other assembled, alternating at each step in the instructions.
Actually, he tended to slack off when it was his turn to find pieces, so maybe
this method didn't work as well as I thought. But we had a blast, and that was
good enough for me.

Yup. Even when I get a nicely designed set, I never have much interest in the
main designs. I figure if I'm not building with it, it's kind of useless. I
tore down the 5571 Holy Crap This Truck Is Big after about 4 or 5 days and
rebuilt it as a WW2 German Panzer Tank. When I get around to it (i.e. don't
hold your breath) I'll post some pics.
But this is why I've never understood why some people are so picky about set
design. Sure, I love a well-designed set, too, but I just buy for parts.
