It is my belief that Technic studded beams will always be around, as long as
technic is around. There are too many advantages of studded beams over
studless beams for them to go away. So for me that is a non-issue.
Studless beams have advantages over studded beams. The are narrower, in
that you can hook two studless beams side by side with pins into adjacent
holes in a studded beam. Cannot do that with studded beams.
So, they both are a good thing.
Studless plus studded beams give us *more* options, than just studded beams.
This enriches the possibilities for MOCs. This is a good thing in my humble
opinion.

Everyone can see that the two systems have their own advantages and that
combining the two gives the advantages of both, but thats not the problem.
The problem is that the 2003 sets had NO studded beams.
|
There are no 2003 TECHNIC sets that have studed beams. There certainly are
non-TECHNIC sets that have them
| |
| |
Since I don’t beleive that studded beams are going away, then the appearance
of studless beams is a big advantage.
|
Having a few studded beams in a set is useless. We need whole sets of them if
we are to make decent sized models.
|
So you are ALL or NOTHING. This is fine on a set by set basis, but not across
the entire product line.
| |
| |
I for one will be very unhappy if you somehow make LEGO stop creating
studless beams. If LEGO were to stop making studded beams, I would be
equally upset.
Does it *have* to be an exclusive decision?
|
It’s Lego who are making this an exclusive decision with the 2003 line.
|
With the 2003 TECHNIC product line. Again, this is not true across the entire
LEGO product line for 2003.
| |
I’d be perfectly happy with mixed Technic sets. I don’t think Lego would make
them now though because this would involve more set complexity and therefore
more cost.
|
RIS 2.0 is mixed. I’m not sure why having both makes anything worse.
