		<description>This software really is garbage.  It doesn&#039;t have all the pieces NOR can you build from an inventory of what you own.

Not to mention that I added a simple gear and the thing told me that I cannot order/upload...  A BASIC GEAR!

The software should allow you to (if you want of course) make an inventory and then build using a combination of YOUR bricks AND ones they currently sell AND ones they do not currently sell (yes I know grammar is messed up there) so that way you can print a list of what you would need to purchase, what you have and then what you would need to acquire from a different source.

It should also have tags that you can piece search for.  So let&#039;s say you build a basic wheel structure and you add the tag &quot;wheel&quot;, you should be able to do a quick parts search for &quot;wheel&quot; and it pull up both the completed structure (to add directly to your current build) as well as the individual parts so you could just grab a part because you use it often and like it.  This would also allow you to tag things for easier reference so you could say &quot;right connector&quot; and it pulls up YOUR custom list of &quot;right connectors&quot; so you don&#039;t have to hunt when you know what you want.

So much promise, so little delivery.  

Also I have to say that being a program that runs locally on your machine they should have real textures that would allow you to look at what the completed model would actually look like, in scale to common objects because it&#039;s hard to judge scale unless you constantly work with Lego, not a crappy looking CG model.

Again so much promise in a software like this but it just never delivers.</description>
