I didn't realise there was a 1x4x3 brick (!!). I've only seen thinwalls and
windows of that dimension; the thinwalls, of course, don't count as POOPs, because
they perform a service that cannot be rendered with standard bricks--namely, making
4-wide structures that allow minifig occupancy. (Or do you consider a minifig a
POOP too? ;) )
Personally, I don't mind the large pieces. I'll incorporate them, as I always do,
and disguise them to the best of my ability. For example, the large Ninja wall
segment pieces make magnificent breakwaters in the stone pattern, and fantastic
torpedo bulges on warships if unprinted (I'm still looking for more, btw!). And
the saucer sections...ahhh, Brasso, my truest friend.
