Not paying attention, that's all. Here is a proof for you:

1:  I would never claim that.  I build stuff with *one* idea in mind -
realism.  I don't worry about piece counts, or difficulty to build, or price
points.  Lego would probably never use one of my models as a "set", because
they would be too expensive to produce, and probably too complicated for the
average kid to build.  Lego has to worry about all these things when they
design sets.  I have a friend who worked for Futura designing some of the
Technic, Space, and Star Wars sets.  He tells a story about one of his
SnowSpeeder prototypes not being approved because it came out to 2 *cents*
over the 'cost to produce' they were looking for...

2:  Debatable, or just see #1.

Maybe not enough substance to qualify for .debate, but I would give the nod to
J-1, because he has braved 8wide waters!  Sorry Lar, but you are about 2 studs
short....or should I say narrow>;^D
