That's the normal challenge for every company in the world though... Car manufacturers for instance have many more pieces to take care about for one model.
Not yet ;) I think we should also release a new smeiley pack with a new disclamer cause our smileys start to show up all around the lego community without any mention fo the place they were stolen from
happened to em to bid on this kind of empty box. The auction was not well described and I decided to give up my bid by using the "seller changed the description" option. After all, he somehow deserved it. As soon as I did this, all the other bidders on this auction did the same :-D
It was a long time ago so it's not really new for lego products, unfortunatly I might add.
well unfortunatly there's never enough diversity. The worst case scenario might be the new city sets with only one face available for all the MFs. Maybe they should release heads pack ;)
