I hear ya'!

I think _some_ studless pieces might be alright, but whole set's
without studs and only specialized pieces?

I got two Power Pullers on sale recently. It has some valuable pieces
but what am I going to do with all those engine elements???

I'm thinking of building the biggest "Tehnic" motor ever seen. Then
just leave the parts there on a shelf or sumfin'.

I wish I never entered my darkages so that I wouldn't have missed
1995, '96 and '97. Judging from the cataloges those were the last
years of true Technic. Todays Technic line is not very technic IMHO
with a few exceptions that actually has about 50% Technic pieces...

I must say I'm glad that I've managed to find some 8480 Space
Shuttles. Where would my beam collection have been else?

And that super set with turntables and 8880 suspension. I wish it had
a lot of pneumatics and yellow beams.

Alternatively, bulk ordering of every Technic piece that has ever left
the LEGO factories!!

Well, back to reality and my design study...

Wanna make me happy Lego? Release a set with a four of those big turntables,
the drivetrain/suspension from the 8880 SuperCar (circa 1996?), and a whole
mess of long beams :*)
