I wonder why TLG would suddenly drop manufacturing of the original skeleton
arms? http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6265
It doesn’t make any sense to me. The original skeleton arms have some use
in SNOT building techniques - the droid arms don’t.

The answer is clear to me-- saves TLG $$$. Anytime they can eliminate a mold
and “shoot two birds with one stone”, it cuts their production costs.

Except in this case, they’d be creating a new mold for the skeleton torso. If I
remember correctly, the current skeleton torso has ball for the shoulder to fit
the socket of the arm, where the one pictured appears to have a bar attachment
for the droid arm.
My guess would be that the new torso and arm combination allows for more
playability. Skeletons could actually hold their weapons up, as opposed to just
having them held in dangling arms.
Either way, I’m good. I build with whatever they sell to me.
