I agree with you there! I'd also like to see the studless beams complimented
with 1/2 width "links". They are also very, very usefull. The more I get,
the more usefull they seem to be.
Of course we all wish for "Blue Tubs" that offer other parts (e.g. technic
beams, technic parts, plates, earth-tone bricks, etc.) but how realistic is
that? How did the blue tubs (set 3033) come about? Were they from an extra
surplus from Lego and not a set that was specifically produced?
I don't know how well a "blue tub" of technic bricks would sell, but I can
say that I'd pay a great deal more than $20 for it.
