I think, despite the odd looks of some of the models, the message is clear -
Technic as a name may have fallen by the wayside, at least in TLC's plans,
but the idea behind the parts is still alive and well - "build working
models". That means they didn't throw out the moulds :) Which means we can
still get supplies of parts :) Any ideas about what we should call these
kinds of parts - gears, axles, "bricks with holes in them", pneumatic parts,
etc - now we're not supposed to use the "Technic" word anymore ;)
