I have to agree with Jamie about the building modules (the seperating of the
parts into different seperately built sections). I feel that part of the fun
of building with Lego bricks is finding the piece, whether you're building
from instructions or working on a MOC. These modules are good for those
people who want to speed up their building and hate searching for pieces,
but I like the search. I liked the fact that it took me a couple of nights
(only working for an hour or so each night)  to build the Space Shuttle
(8480) and the black super car (8880). It sort of made it worthwhile to
spend that sort of money on the two sets. I had the red super car (8448)
finished in a few hours. Anyway . . . enough rambling. What I'd like to know
is what people think about this modular design that seems to be apparent in
newer technic sets?

I dump them all out into the box it came in and mix them up real well. I don't like the modular design at all and I wish Lego would stop it soon. Until then, I will just stir them up. After I mix them up, I sometimes sort all the pieces by color or (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I recieved my Destroyer Droid yesterday from S@H and it took me alittle over 4 hours! The set itself is rather intimidating! Lots of pieces, 553 to be exact!
