This raises an interesting point. Let's take, for example, some of the rock-patterned
slopes on Ninja sets. If Lego gave you 20 preprinted slopes with which to make that
shape, people would be whining day and night about having so many rock-patterned
slopes. I think it is better to have one POOP and either use it or throw it in the
"forgotten" bin than to have a stash of wasted preprinted parts (ie: a lot of
preprinted slopes). And seriously, it would have to be preprinted, because if they
gave you 80 tiny stickers to affix, we'd be coplaining even more! Not to mention that
one POOP costs less than many "regular" pieces.
