yep some of the kits are full of very specific use pieces

and with bionicle i have just been collecting the connector and chop
the balls leaving a bit of xrod to insert into a x hole 1x2for a cheap
and dirty shoulder or hip

most of the new pieces have caused me to get lazy like with the click
hinge plates and bricks they sure work alot better than the old 2 and 3
finger hinges

they still have bulk tubs but the gap between bulk tubs and models has
really increased since the late 80s

my most hated technic piece is the 2791 and 2792 tilt wheel stering
shouldnt be made so easy i prefered them using the universal joint and
rack and pinion stering

of course with that kind of ludite mentality we would still be using
the gears of the old samsonite years

i invented my own differential years ago using a 40 drilled out plates
and bricks and 3 crown gears it was pretty big but it worked

i could forgive winshields and right angle brackets but boat hulls and
castle walls take the challenge away
