Why should the new joints do that any more than any other of the joints that
have been released over the years? I for one am looking forward to getting my
hands on some of those new joints, but I reject the assumption that any use I
might put them to will lack imagination.

So impress me with innovative ways to use the new pieces.

I'm not sure how this is a 'bad' thing. Pardon my bluntness, but what do you
care how much imagination other people use in their creations? If they're
building and enjoying the hobby, isn't that enough? It's all good, and building
skill only improves with every moc.

That's exactly right. And if people post to .build.mecha with mocs you consider
'lack imagination', I would hope that you and the other masters of mecha will
continue to guide rather than judge them.
