A project I'm working on could sure use them to decrease bulk a tad,
but that would restrain my budget. It's too early in the building
stage to know if I'll keep the design as is or totally rebuild it.
Other than this time I don't remember me thinking a 1x2 liftarm would
come in handy. But then, I tend to build big :)

Sounds so close to my vision of heaven!
Actually my dream is if you could buy LEGO pieces by weight, just
scoop them up in a bag and then pay per kilo. Just like in candy
stores.
Imagine hand picking beams, gears, 1x2 liftarms and joints all in a
bag and only pay for the parts you actually want/need...
