>"Torso" shells that came in a variety of types. The two black ones fit two sockets, while the rest are single socket. Again, note the connection points>Remainder are armor and other bits that connect to shells via the two points. These are the right width to fit lightsaber hilts, pins, and other similarly sized parts. Again, not the full extent, just a good sampling of optionsBottom left is a G2 gearbox. These used the four-point gear next to in order to achieve the same kind of gear functions we saw in early G1.
Bottom right is a mess of smaller parts. Bar and clip pieces have become far more numerous and far more valuable now for their versatility and flexibility to make fingers, kibbling, or whatever else might tickle your fancy.
I did miss some key parts (CCBS torsos, for example) but this should give you a solid idea of what has come since. I or some other anons can point you in the right directions from here, just feel free to ask.
I plan on going through Bricklink in the morning and cataloging some part sections (and may just put together a part list since 2010) to show just how much there is to improve your builds. Constraction may be dead, but Lego still produces a lot of parts that are game changers.
