So? Does that mean LEGO should pander to the
lowest-common-denominator and the short-of-attention-span by making
their sets build-by-color? Bah. I think long-time LEGO builders all
possess a certain retentiveness that allows them to paw through piles of
bricks for hours to build things. My brother didn't possess this
skill/affliciton, which is why I inherited his LEGO along with my own. He
was always really impressed with the things I built, and he played with
them, but he never really created anything of his own.
I really don't think the people who bought the Millennium Falcon would
have skipped over it because a few differently-sized bricks were of the
same color. They bought it because it's the Millennium Falcon. They'd
have bought it if it was composed entirely of gray pieces. The baby-blue
bricks are inaccurate and unnecessary.... which was my original point.
