I totally agree!
I think I overdid it. I totally agree that beams and bricks have their
uses, I just don't like how Lego is making the beam 'superioir' these days.
The thing that ticks me off, though, is flex axles and 'styling panels.' I
just can't seem to use the panels. Flex axles are all right and have their
uses, but I don't think they should be used as an excuse for solid pieces.
But I do like 'ribbed' tubes. Their less flexy and look more 'solid.' I
can't comlain about those.
