While I agree a universal set to please everyone is impossible, I think a
universal set to please anyone is impossible. I used to use pneumatics a lot
but none of my latest models have any (apart from my bulldozer). What we
should turn our attention to is to get Lego to make universal PACKS!
Beams, tyres, plates in various colours is what we want. I miss the old
spares service, where you couuld purchase anything(selection permitting) in
small amounts. By being able to pick and choose we would have the greatest
flexability for the lowest outlay. Their has been a litle improvement
recently at S&h but what we really need is a commitment to spare parts and
decent bulk packs at an affordable price.
