Dear LEGO,
I just opened my new MindStorms NXT, and my first impression is that this is
a really cool system with a lot of potential. But I’ve gotta ask - where
have all the studs gone? A 577-piece LEGO set that has a grand total of six
pieces that have any studs at all? Just think of all the subliminal
advertizing opportunities that you’re missing out on!
It’s been said before, but please, please, PLEASE bring back the studded
Technic beam!
Thanks for listening...

While I also have some misgivings about the apparent decrease in the use of
studded Technic bricks, probably money is the way to talk - instead of buying
sets without studs, go buy multiple copies of the ones with studs, a good
starter is
It also has a porta-loo!

That is good advice, well-received, but which is sadly getting very hard to
follow. On a recent trip to my local LEGO Retail store, I asked the employees
if there were any sets with studded Technic beams, and they didn’t even know
what I was talking about. Eventually someone showed me 7905 which, despite
being hidden far away from all the other Technic offerings, was almost
completely sold out. (Only one copy left in the whole store.) The model looks
great, and I almost bought it, except that I already had an armful of
Pick-a-Brick cups and a copy of Creator set 4956 in my sweaty little hands by
that point. I might be back there tomorrow, so maybe I’ll have another chance
to vote with the old wallet. (Voting with my feet for the past 2 years doesn’t
seem to have done much good.)

The Dino attack helicopter, several exoforce sets, designer sets etc are all appearing with at least some studded technic. Otherwise, perhaps it's time to update your (...)
