It’s obvious to me he means that.

But the traditional approach of building from bottom to top (few technic
bricks, some plates, some additional bricks and 90deg beam connections
is IMO much more logical and(!) in line of previous Lego experience of
the builder.
|
I agree, and in my own building style I often rely on the bottom to top
method.
| |
This studless way of building is IMO much more complicated
|
What’s wrong with complicated? :)
Isn’t that what makes Technic models more interesting than others?
|
Your more wrong Allen, than Lego was to change the shade of gray. There are few
enough really good models posted here already without another level of
complication slowing us down. We depend on the health of the Technic brand with
the average consumer. So a system that is simpler to use and more universal
(studded) is much more preferable to a les flexible, harder to use one.

and completely different when compared to traditional Lego brick
building. Not mentioning that attaching a beam to 4-5 pins is a pain.
|
Sometimes, but it’s also very rewarding when you’re done.
| |
really possible that 11 years old could assemble it without problems?
|
My former 11-year-old self could have done it. I can’t speak for anyone else.
| |
3) Have anybody of you tried to build studless MOC?
|
Not completely out of studless, but I use them in original creations along
with traditional bricks.
|
You should try it. I did, and ended up giving up out of frustration. When I
switched back to old Lego I impreessed myself the build went so well. And before
someone else says it yes I could do with more practice with the new system but
early experiences were dis-encouraging.

4) Should we bother TLC with this issue too?
|
Nope. They have plenty to deal with right now. Studless bricks (and the
studded ones that they are still making) are not causing problems that are in
any way like the other things that have lost so much money recently.
|
Wrong again. We should strike while the Lego company is at it’s most vulnrable.
The company is currently rather receptive to what it’s been doing wrong. Lego’s
problems could have a very posative outcome.
