3455

92950

Hello,

I recently bought some of 92950 to fill lack of 3455 and I noticed that they got different arch ;(

Why LEGO changed it?

For example the new ones (92950) does not fit well with my favourite doors. And they are basically more ugly ;) Arch area is smaller and higher. I don't understand why they changed the mold. Any thoughts?

I think it's to make it compatible with these:

That's what the article on NewElementary surmised as well. http://www.newelementary.com/2014/03/you-raise-me-arch.html

Yup, it is interesting, thx :)

But I still think the old arch is better looking and more useful...
