There's a woefully small number of the good sized bricks in the same colour and size. If they're going to have so many colours, they need to increase the number of bricks so there's enough bricks of each colour to make it worthwhile. I still think they've got the colour thing wrong. I miss that they haven't included the little lego people - the girl with the black hair and the boy with the blonde hair. The trick is to forget how Lego used to be and focus on what it is today with all their weird little pieces. However having spent time playing with the set, I'm beginning to accept the pieces. Thought it was a waste and a plot by the lego people as a way to bump up the brick count without giving much value. Shapes that have no purpose you can think of. The small ones are for finishing touches and detail right? There's also quite a few mystery pieces. After all, when you're building, you want to build with the big bricks.
The box comes over-loaded with small pieces. In practical terms this means that if you want to build a blue wall, you're going to end up with a blue/red/pink wall because there aren't enough blue pieces. When you tip them out and separate them into like pieces, you find there's a huge colour range now. The pieces are separated by colour into little plastic bags and fill up about half of the box. This Classic XXL box is much bigger than it needs to be, in terms of the cardboard box itself. Now it's primarily sold in kits and the kids get the parents to build it for them (or perhaps that's just in my extended family). It's changed from how it was when I was a child. Some people hit middle age and buy a Porsche. Just by the volume sold, economies of scale means that the price is being kept high artificially.But what can you do? It's such a great toy that despite my gripes, I still can't give it less than 5 stars even though I can't quite forgive that the brick count is bumped up by small pieces and you run out of the colour you want in a heartbeat.It's still a box of peace and memories. It's bits of plastic moulded at low cost. There's a woefully small number of the good sized bricks in the same colour and size.I also think that Lego is seriously over-priced.
