Reed Richards and Stretching

The FF is one Marvel comic I'll still read even if they got Rob Liefeld to draw it with Vinnie Colleta inks interpreting Elliot S! Maggin stories.  

I've lately come to realise that Reed hardly uses his stretching power any more to achieve stuff. He'll use his enhanced smarts to think of lots of stuff during an adventure but as far as I'm aware he hardly uses his stretching ability to do anything important to the plot. We might see him push a button whilst tinkering from way across the room but where are the stretchy action shots during a battle ?

We used to see him catch missiles and "boing" then back. Be a parachute for one of the team. And so on.

The most he used his power for in the latest FF I read ( I'm three months behind ) is to allow himself to be stampeded on by dinosaurs without injury ( a more interesting way of achieving the same result is if he would have stretched his legs really wide to allow them to pass through.

Has this been a recent occurrence or was Reed's stretching power definitely more to the fore in older issues ?
