I tend to agree with this point of view. The old toggle connectors do still
enable solutions that would otherwise be impossible with only 'current' Lego
pieces, but they are about the only piece that has been phased out that I

good effect. I don't think Lego is doing much wrong, although I admit that
I tend to be disappointed by the current range (or lack of) of Technic
models. We'll just have to design and build our own!
