Yeah, that seemed really odd to me as well. Thinking on it from the other
direction, though, I've noticed that those little palm trunk segments can be
fairly tough to link together compared to basic bricks and such. Perhaps they
changed the trunk over because kids were injuring themselves when assembling
their palm trees. The palm leaves are probably a safety concern as well, as a
tipped-over palm tree has two pokey bits sticking up 4-5 inches in the air. The
thing that really sucks about this is that now all palm trees are always the
same height, and individual palm fronds are less common (though they'll probably
still use them in situations where they need to be attached to studded
surfaces).
