   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...

And can you bring back 1x2 bricks while you’re at it?

If you looked around you would notice that studded technic is still alive and kicking. I guess that would (and has) kind of damaged your whinge and I’m sure I’ll be called a troll for daring to not care but... here’s the deal... I love studless technic...

And I’m not a technic builder...

For some of us Lego is a handy building medium which keeps putting out new parts, almost all of which can be used and are lovely. For others it seems to be something to let us whinge about how the past is so much better.

Perhaps you would be better off putting your energies into learning how to use the new system (I was fairly happy with my attempt) rather than putting all your energies into whinging about bricks, forums and other forums. Trust me... playing with bricks is far more pleasurable than complaining about them assuming that’s what you’re into. If you prefer whinging I might suggest that you try political or religious sites where it will be far more entertaining and you’re less likely to get a response like this.
