I have the Mars Set and the plates they are too heavy and too small. And I
do not think the plates from Clickits are any better. And I'm NOT going to
buy 50 sets of Clickits! NEVER!! :)
Just think of it; here comes a 36 year old man into a toystore and buys 50
sets of Clickits, I can not say it is for my 50 girlfriends in the age of 8-
12 year, and i do not have 50 daughters either :D
And I think the parts is going to take long time before their avaiable at
Bricklink.
My solution is using stiff non-LEGO plastic sheets. But I have not found the
perfect one yet. Until now I have only used normal plastic film, but that is
too weak and adds no strength to the construction.
But I was in the toy store today and was holding a large baseplate in my
hand, it is pretty flexible.. it is a bit heavy, but it will cover more of
the wing and therefore need less points for holding it? Maybe?? Any
thoughts??
