I'm completely with you for the newly introduced parts. But the majority
of the recent technic sets does not feel right, when looking them as
"models" rather than part packs. Actually, I always consider the sets as
part packs, and I only build the featured model of any set only once in
most cases, then take it apart and include the pieces in to the big
pile. But I love "wow"ing when I completed an official model, and the
new sets steals this pleasure from me, except some really good models of
course. The mid to small size range for the last several years, looks
like just some futuristic idioticity to my eyes..:-(
