Right--I don't agree with that either. It's not a manufacturing issue or a
cost-saving issue, it's a marketing thing probably based on ease of assembly (if
it's not a mistake, which I'm still willing to believe based on my Mos Eisley
experience and other pieces.

Right--but "better" is relative to the audience, and they have another audience
in mind than us AFOLs. (Whether the change is better for kids either is
debatable.)

I'm not about to. If other AFOLs do, then hey! More Lego pieces for me. I've
put the new color pieces together with old ones and while I wouldn't have chosen
the effect, it's not unpleasant.
