I do sincerely and absolutely believe that someone who can’t find a use for
what could be considered a new type of piece is being unimaginitive. That’s
an opinion which is highly unlikely to change. Maybe I shouldn’t be quite so
blunt about that feeling but I am sick to death of all the stupid moaning
about various things that Lego has ‘done’ to fans, particularly when such
changes can be used to positive effect in MOCs.

Yeah, there’s been a lot of complaining lately, and I’m certainly guilty on
that score. However, I believe most of the major complaints are all
justifiable, i.e. the color change, click-hinge replacement of fingered hinges,
Bionicle parts in System sets, and IR Trains without electrical track just to
name a few. Those who can recall when TLG’s product was in its prime will
always have difficulty with the current offerings. It’s hard to let go of fond
memories of Forestmen, Futuron, and Main Street.
It is sad to me that in order to survive, TLG has been forced and/or decided to
morph their product into something that hardly resembles what came before.
What’s most unfortunate is that all these things have so greatly polarized the
fanbase to the point where it seems that there will always be two, fiercely
divided camps. One side who decries the current state of things, the other
decries the other side for complaining, rinse & repeat.
I’m happy for you that you are trying to take a positive attitude towards the
situation. However, perhaps that should include not using my initial post as an
excuse to vent your own frustrations. You could have just said to yourself;
“Dude, get a life!” and move on the next ng! :-)
