Which is really unfortunate because the click hinges are a far inferior
element than the finger hinges. The proliferation of click hinges across
the product line bothers me 10x more than the change in color does. It's
almost like who ever at TLC designed the click hinges now has a significant
say in which elements are "approved" for use in set design and has mandated
use of click hinges over fingered hinges.
