Why the change of heart? Not that I disagree with you, just curious...
I realize that you like the Mutant Squid set best amongst the AT sets for
2002, but isn't it also comprised largely of useless elements unless you are
trying to make a squid or some such thing?
In the real world of building, I have compromised between the new canopies
(which are limiting but still cool), and my own bendy-arm solution for the
tentacles. None of the elements I am using are from the Mutant Squid set
though, I have preferred the black and red elements of #4793 Ogle Shark Sub
even though I agree that that set stinks in terms of its intended design.
Plus I wanted 8 of those grey arms, even though they kinda suck too (but, I
had a VERY specific use for these in mind when I obtained them).
I can't see my wanting many more of those Squid sets unless I decide to
build a giant medusa head or something...
In 5-10 years, will we be raving about the JS-style bumpers and spoilers of
the 2002 AT sets as we do about the castle pitchfork, garage doors, or even
the 1x2 half stud plate? Not bloody likely...
