As a mecha builder, i can say my mouth is indeed quite saliva-less :) Sure the
new parts might be great for making strong and compact joints, but that takes
the fun (and skill) out of mecha-building. Half the fun in building mecha is to
think of innovative new ways to do things. Who says you have to use technic pins
for a leg joint, use a surfboard! With these, people will think they are the
"Uber-Joint" and use these religiously. This could be bad because it may flood
the mech-building scene with Mocs created with little imagination (like bionicle
did [IMHO], with the exception of a few builders, AKA bryce McGlone) with people
taking these knights, and throwing a hastily-built gun onto it, and dubbing it a
mech.
But the positive aspect may outweigh the negative. When little kiddies see
making mecha isnt so tough, they might be drawn into joining the ranks of
mecha-builders, which would in-turn create more mecha MOCs.
PS- Don't flame me! I am just not a big fan of bionicle, or change for that
matter, im sure that change will bring bigger and better things for LEGO, but i
still fear it :)
