Finished the Ideas Voltron and while it's a stunning looking model I seriously need to address what's going on "under the hood".
The "everyone is supposed to build the model so here are some methods to make the process easier!" mentality is getting ridiculous and often makes one question just what the fuck the designers were thinking.
I mean, this is supposed to be an advanced set for 16+ year olds so why is there such a clusterfuck of colors inside of it, including pink, purple and teal?
Do they honestly think that someone at that age is too stupid to slap a Lego System set together?
Hell, those pink 2x6 bricks aren't even necessary since not only are they next to impossible to mix up or forget but the same parts are already used in red, grey and the like in the set and would be just as visible in the instructions.
Then there are some odd things like color-coding the connection areas on the black lion (only three actually match the color of the lions, though) but on one side they use solid blue 1x2 bricks and on the other side they build that area with red and teal plates and again, there ARE red 1x2 bricks on the model so it's just another nonsensical decision and feels like someone at Lepin designed the insides.
