>>9408750nta, it's not so much about the price but the problem is that these baseplates are very, very fragile. So it's hard to use them without care. You must always be alert to not further damage it, and it'll only get worse with time.
3D printing a piece like this wouldn't be cheap though.
It's not so much the price.
>>9409153Exactly. It's very hard to find those big dome trans-orange space pieces without them being all scratched.
The stickers and unique pieces are the worst offenders. There's a piece for the schooner, I don't know the name, but it's a common 3,18 pole that branches into four more poles, but it's colored blue, it's super high priced. It wouldn't kill to release this element in multiple colors. Even if it was through a third party.
>>9409195>>9409199There's so much to say about the sails. LEGO hasn't even shared which kind of gum they use on them, so if you wash it you are screwed.
The worst part is that even if you use some soap, the damage is already done, they basically only bleach the yellow.
