If there is one part I hate - it must be the old technic friction pin.
When they get stuck, they get well and truly wedged, and when building
"new" technic style models based on liftarms - you get one of those in
by accident, you are in for a real time removing it.
Is it reasonable to include peice which are useful, but are sometimes
a nightmare to use for various design oddities? For example - in the
Mars Explorer expansion kit for the RCX, there is one part where you
are told to slip a peice of the ribbed tube over an axle - again, a
real nightmare to remove later.
