The "pivot on a stud" technique is considered vulgar among the Lego engineers of my nation, who draw their inspiration from the Holy Published Schematics, in which it is seldom seen.
It's tempting to snag some newer sets on eBay and diversify my stock of pieces, but a domestic constituency within my nation has vetoed the proposed war budget, and expressed concern over the increasing militarism of the top shelf of the bookcase. I have attempted to influence domestic opinion through a "Lego Star Wars II" propaganda campaign; we shall see if it takes.
Ah. See, our national policy regards Lego as a growth industry worth serious investment. There is, however, a fast-growing contingent that considers Lego worth serious ingestment, so the Secretary of Health & Safety is backing a pro-Duplo movement and a strict separation of military build-up and more peacable activity.
Also, the Holy Published Schematics are viewed as "more of a guideline" to Lego adherants in our nation.
