I suspect we will eventually have ZNAP pieces.  And Throwbot pieces as well.

Throwbot pieces are Technic pieces (the poor To Do List jumps in length), and
I'd be very suprised if you weren't the first to use them in really creative
ways.

Thanks, but my money is on Sproat.  :-)
I have four sets, but so far I draw a blank about using the pieces.
It will probably take me a couple of months of subconsious cogitating before I
wake in the middle of the night with a good idea.
Then a couple of more weeks to remember what the hell I thought of.

I
am not sure about Duplo/Toolo/Primo though.  Those have a very limited
inter-connectivity. But it the demand is there for them, it would be a total
tragedy.

What about the 2-3 year old Ldraw users?  Aren't we leaving them out in the
cold?  How are they supposed to share their creations with their cohorts?  Of
course then we'd have to add sound to Ldraw to represent the rattles :)

I delegate that task to you.
Hint:  try sampling the sound of your head shaking.  :-)

Seriously, though, as someone pointed out on L-CAD, Ldraw is more that just a
model-building program.  It can be used to create renderings for reference
purpose as well.  It's hard to imagine someone taking the time to create all
the Duplo/Toolo/Primo parts, but if they did, it would be handy to link .dats
to Pause, etc.

If someone took all that time, I don't see how we could refuse them.
