I think you’ll find that there has always been variation in the depth of the
texture on slope bricks, it’s just that the variation is now greater. I’ll
hazard a guess and say that TLG are using their molds for longer to save
money.
If you choose not to buy new sets then that’s obviously your choice but to
act as though smoother slopes is some sort of betrayal is a little worrying.
As for “they will not match all the hundreds of other textured slope bricks
in my collection” well I’m just going to say that you’re showing a distinct
lack of imagination.

Hey Tim,
I’ve always noted the change in the style of roof bricks, from the circular
pattern to the rougher bumpy style to the hopefully current
more-smooth-but-still-bumpy pattern. That never bothered me.
However, if it’s a fact that TLG is so desperate to save money that they’re
using molds beyond their ability to produce identical parts, then it seems
something is indeed rotten in Denmark! (Forgive me, William, I could not
resist!)
Did I say betrayal?
|
“Sometimes it feels like TLG is deliberately trying to break with the older
fanbase” is close enough for me.
| |
I don’t think I did. Granted, it sometimes feels that
way given all the other changes recently, but even I would not personally
ascribe that much emotion to the situation.
|
Excellent news.
| |
It saddens me more than a little, but betrayal? No.
You don’t know me, so why would you worry about
my state of mind?
|
I worry because by virtue of sharing a hobby there may be some perception of
crossover between your views and mine. If you were a Meccano hobbyist I wouldn’t
be worried in the slightest.
| |
Furthermore, given that assessment on your part, it’s very
petty to indulge in flinging inflammatory and needless insults after you’ve
just finished accusing me of mental instability.
|
Well played but I wouldn’t say that being finding some behaviour ‘worrying’ is
neccessarily an implication of an unstable mind.
| |
As for your last statement, well, I’m just going to say that I think you’re
showing a distinct overabundance of (fill in the expletive noun).

Perhaps you can elaborate on this?
I do sincerely and absolutely believe that someone who can’t find a use for what
could be considered a new type of piece is being unimaginitive. That’s an
opinion which is highly unlikely to change. Maybe I shouldn’t be quite so blunt
about that feeling but I am sick to death of all the stupid moaning about
various things that Lego has ‘done’ to fans, particularly when such changes can
be used to positive effect in MOCs.
Yours,
Tim

| (...) Yeah, there's been a lot of complaining lately, and I'm certainly guilty on that score. However, I believe most of the major complaints are all justifiable, i.e. the color change, click-hinge replacement of fingered hinges, Bionicle parts in (...)
