OleBM Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 After seeing the last sets that TLC has released the last years, I can't help but ask; are we looking at an end for studded pieces, specifically technic parts? It would seem that studless building is the big O these days, and I see many advantages with this tecnique, but also many disadvantages... Quote
Paul Boratko Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 There is no reason for Lego to not produce studded parts anymore since they are compatible with the system sets(And still have a high value in Technic sets)... You just won't see them as often... Quote
OleBM Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 I hope you're right Paul Boratko Because a couple of years ago, it almost seemed as if TLC discontinued pneumatic parts, replacing them with the linear acutators. Prices for pneumatic pieces shoot through the roof on bricklink (among many other sites), because they were currently not being used in sets. But then suddenly, they appeared again! Quote
Boxerlego Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Dont disable yourself by reducing yourself to the concept of "studless" building. Quote
OleBM Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Dont disable yourself by reducing yourself to the concept of "studless" building. Absolutely not. Everything I've ever built has a studded "basis". HOWEVER, studless building is very useful when it comes to many things. I recognize the functionality of studless parts incorporated into a bigger studded build. Quote
spzero Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Studs are what made LEGO LEGO it may be more aestheticaly pleasing to go studless, but lots of stuff loose there LEGO-yness by been too studless. Keep the studs Quote

And with all the many useful things that studless can do it has become the ultimate choice to build with. Both Stud and Studless have functionality and have "their" advantages in building and so does the Axle and Wheel. Quote

Lakop Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Studded parts are still used in the newer models, even if it's just a plate so i don't ( and hope ) they don't stop using them in technic. I'm using my studded parts all over again but i'm enjoying the studless parts just as much. PS: new lego store opened in Leeds at the new Trinity shopping centre. H Quote
Lipko Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 LEGO=STUD Simple as that IMO By this logic, Technic was never really Lego. Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah, i think this should just be locked. Quote
