Making a site (like Mobilefra.me) becomes a labor of love, because fair compensation for your time and effort would balloon the cost unreasonably (not to mention the risks, like unpopular kits not selling or lost mail).

Right now you can't put together a Chub via Pick-A-Brick. There are no Headlight Bricks available.
