Chris, not wanting to sound rude, but did you open the front flap to find the
parts list right there on the box before you decided to pay good money for
it? Assuming you did, you obviously still felt the set was worth the price
you paid, even with it’s distinct lack of studded bricks.

Having purchased the set online, no I did not have that luxury. I wanted to get
an NXT, I am satisfied with that purchase, and I believe I made that clear in my
original post.
But I wonder why all the smooth surfaces? Why is there no way to attach a
standard LEGO brick directly to the NXT or any of its sensors? Why can’t a LEGO
employee in a store which presumably has every currently-available set in their
product line show me a set that has any quantity of a once-common and very
useful part?
This is not “whinging”, these are reasonable questions.
I know how to build with
non-studded beams, and I even think the straight studless beam can be a very
useful part. Just not as versatile as studded beams, which are getting hard to
find in my experience. Does TLG really want to send my business to bricklink?

Either way, the question “Where Have All the Studs Gone?” is quite easy to
answer - “Other sets!”. They are still there if you want them.
|
Maybe someone should tell the LEGO Retail employees where to find them, then?
