A nicely succinct description of the thread.  I wanted to echo Robert's
opinions, particularly with the anticipation of looking at the latest
catalogues to see what lies in store, only to be unimpressed.  Although
perhaps a touch off-group, did anyone have the same feeling about Legoland?
In a way it seemed to be a dumbing-down of the model ranges (cf. 1989 vs
1999), but still, notwithstanding the continual complexities of the current
big Technic models, the use of strange new pieces to form bodywork panelling
and making entire windscreens and things from bendy tubes seems a bit like
cheating.

IMHO the Technic line went downhill after the 8480 Space Shuttle and I
think it's about to hit rock bottom this year and hit it hard!

Bear in mind that I still think pieces like #2825 are "kind of new". (!)

Oh, that's also a "new" piece to me since it came out the same year(s)
that I entered my dark ages.. Although I have learned to like them and
the other liftarms in small amounts. They are hard to MOC with in the
extense LEGO does, perhaps one should practice liftarm building a bit
:)
