Oops, sorry for venting there.  I guess I didn't realize I had such a sore
spot there myself.  I'm just sometimes frustrated by the really cool things
other AFOLs demonstrate is possible but I can't achieve for time/money reasons.

Don't know.  I'd suspect most kids don't care if they have the exact correct
pieces and colors to create a perfect prototypical MOC and maybe most AFOLs
have the time and capital to build whatever they want, so perhaps I am in
the minority of buyers.

I know it could be done and I probably will do it if the accessory pack
never materializes.  But if LD makes it easy for me then I have more time
and money to spend on something else.  I understand they need to see demand.

Agreed!  I can't wait for summer!

I think LEGO Direct has been great and can't wait to see what they do next!

Sorry again about venting,
