Yes, but unfortunately at the same time, some perfectly good parts which
used the old hinge system are getting replaced by click hinges:

See the cargo containers on this train:

...and the cargo hatch at the rear of the car on this train:

So, plate click hinges are good, but I hope LEGO keeps the hold hinge system
around as well. Guess it's not as useful for you Mecha folk, though, so
pardon me. ;^)
