>>7559364>don't affect the set in any wayIt makes alternative builds with one set unnecessarily harder than it should be and it's probably one of the reasons we don't have alt-builds on the back of the box anymore.
And on a personal note, filling up a set with tons of colored bricks that don't fit the final model sort of feels like taking one of those cheap Chinese bootlegs and spraypainting it the right color - the final result may look alright but you still know that there's a complete mess under the hood.
It doesn't really feel like a "high end - best quality" product anymore and more like someone tossed their warehouse overstock in.
