<blink blink>  bricks with clips are Jr?  I find those very useful!  It means
that I have that many more options whenever I want to use a clip.  The pieces
they are using, for example, are very difficult to simulate with the tradition
1x1 plate w/clip.

If I see someone using these new bricks in a way that couldn't be done with
the 1x1 plate clip, I'll change my opinion.  So far, I've seen this piece
in two sets (7121 and 5976, Adventurers River Expedition).  In both cases,
a 1x1 plate w/ clip would have served the need just as well.

I will admit that the brick w/ clip is not *as* Jr. as the brick w/ side
bar, which is a total POOOP (piece out of other pieces).  It is literally
the same as a stack of a 1x2 plate, 1x2 plate with sidebar, and another 1x2
plate.
