(...) Richie, I don't know why you would assign an arbitrary and incorrect timeline to events which you did not personally witness. Enter LEGO Retail, ask sales associate which current Technic sets include "classic studded Technic beams." Clerk (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) So there you were, with an armful of Pick-a-Brick cups and a copy of Creator set 4956 in your sweaty little hands and you then asked for a set with studded technic beams? And when someone pointed out to you a set that met your request, you (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) whinge whinge whinge. It's not even a new whinge. The studdless 'debate' has been ongoing for years as far as I can tell. What's next? A whinge about Town Junior? (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) The studless beams have their place, but they are not a perfect replacement for studded beams in all circumstances. A studded beam can almost always be used in place of a studless one, but the reverse is not true. If I wanted to place (...) (18 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) Seems to me the best place to get studded technic is in non-technic sets. 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 (...)

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 (...)
