You're right. When you try stacking those macaroni bricks, they become
very unstable. I usually use only 3 or 4 on top of each other, and then a
curved plate on top of that (sort of an overhang). The only stability
with these is if you make a light house for example. Then you can stagger
them like regular bricks. But how many RTLers have enough macaroni bricks
available to create a light house? Not too many, I'll bet!
That is why we need these in parts packs. Besides the 1x1 rounds, 1x1
cones, the 2x2 cylinders and the macaroni bricks, LEGO could include the
relatively new 4x4 quarter rounds. That would make for an awesome
"rounded brick" parts pack.
