I will add to that:
The 33'/45' slope corners, like the yellow ones in the Outback Airstrip
(#6444). I would have been able to have a building that has a 45' slope on 2
sides and a 33' slope on the other two, but I can only do it if the building
is 4 studs from front to back as it is now. Very possibly I will be putting
those pieces into a bandsaw! I say it is time to fight back against
juniorization. Mutilation is no more sacrilidge than the jr. pieces I get in
some sets.
The Apex Pyramid bricks! I would like SOME in 1x1 variety to make a roof come
out of a wall nicer.
There are some others, but I can't remember them. I will have to look through
the garbage box (where worthless pieces go) to find them.
Anything that sets the border width of a model on both sides has a very large
downside to it. Granted, it is structurally stronger, but it does limit
useage into models of that size. I think that there needs to be a trade off.
Many models would not be structurally sound with split elements, but many
models cannot be improved upon with said one-piece elements.
Late. Must sleep.
