(...) Bam! There's my objection, I think. Lego used to be more of a system, and it's gradually turning into several different systems. It's not that they're not compaitable, it's that they're LESS compatible, or less related. Studded beams, while (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Personally I prefer the stud-free version of this model, but I prefer the studded beams from the standpoint of a non-Technic builder. Studded technic beams are a great SNOT element in normal bricks-and-plates construction, either by sticking (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I'm biased basic brick user. You're biased Bionicle user. (...) Stud free Technic liftarm is {almost} useless when you want to use other (non-Technic) studded parts. Technic bricks with plates make better frames for stuff like cars. Usage of (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) How about whenever you try to use Technic parts in a "non Technic" model? Something like (URL) my theatre>, for example?

(...) I can't speak for anyone else, but I wasn't angry. Every time this subject comes up, I keep hoping to see some more specific instances where the old-style TECHNIC works better, but all I ever see is "everything". It's clearly not true, or (...)

(...) Yep, that would be me. I actually bought 4 x 4753 on sale, but ended up returning them solely because of the grey/dark-grey and fleshtone minifigs. It was difficult to pass up on the great parts selection though... -Bryan (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks, I'm pretty sure that was what I was trying to say when I got everyone so angry. You said it a lot better though. A lot of old technic models had studdless beams, but they didn't go overboard. I was asking what now defines Lego. Current (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hi Anthony and All, I definitely think that this is a different plastic. A softer (and slightly different colored) one. (Not unlike 1x1 lightgrey plate with clip when compared to regular 1x1 lightgrey plate.) I've noticed this change some (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general, FTX)
