Now that DesignByMe has ended, I'm curious how many BZPers used it and how yall'd rate it. Myself, I used it only once near the end, because I knew it would end and figured I should while I could. Despite the limited selection of bricks/colors I am hugely satisfied with my custom set, and really enjoyed the quality packaging too. Many of the pieces I got were new, from after I stopped buying LEGO sets due to lack of room, so I was very pleased to be able to get my hands on large numbers of them without resorting to Pick-A-Brick or buying a lot of unwanted bricks along with them in standard sets. (And I do plan to possibly use Pick-A-Brick now.)I thought it rather strange and counterproductive that after I told them not to send instructions, to save paper, they included this huge-o letter "apologizing" for not being able to send instructions, plus a huge list of bricks with color pics of each one... defeating the point. Why not just one sheet summarizing my choices and listing the names of the bricks, with perhaps a URL to go online to see the pics? Or at least they could have offered that as an option. But no big deal.It also took far longer than the supposed 3-8 business days to ship, but that's perhaps because I ordered in the final days and maybe a lot of others did too, so they probably had a backlog. I'm not sure if I would use it again if they brought it back, but I would try to. I must admit that Pick-A-Brick makes it a little superfluous, but convenient. And I would definately be more likely to use it if they offered a better selection of bricks/colors. The new "standard LDD mode" selection is a good example of what I'd prefer, but of course I understand financial reasons this isn't practical.

Has anybody else bought a Hero using Hero Recon? I did, and was very pleased with it. The packaging is great, the instructions are actually kind of useful, and you get a sticker! A STICKER! Oh, and fortunately, I ordered before they ran out of chestplates. Now that is a cool piece. I do dislike the naming system, though.
