(...) You don't like headlight bricks? o.0 Wow. I never thought I'd hear someone say they disliked one of the most useful and beloved pieces out there. The piece I "hate" (its more of a love/hate relationship) is the old technic ball socket: (URL) (...) (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Oooh. Fun game... I discovered a new piece just last night which I already hate. Don't own any or know what it's called (2x2 tall dome?) but it is a single part which could be made from a 2x2 round with a 2x2 dome on top. I can see absolutely (...) (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Do you mean [LDrawPart 30151:46]? That part started out as a cover for treasure in the Adventurers; its hollowness is an important aspect of the part. Steve (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) These are nice for single color steam domes. I never liked the notched edges on 2x2 round brick. (...) My initial reaction to this part was of a similar vein, but I recently built a large retainer wall, using mostly 1xNx5 and 2xNx1 bricks. And (...)

(...) If there is one part I hate - it must be the old technic friction pin. When they get stuck, they get well and truly wedged, and when building "new" technic style models based on liftarms - you get one of those in by accident, you are in for a (...)

(...) Minitalia bricks are like that! I'm glad that the headlight/washing machine brick has been redeemed! It's one of my faves. I can see why Gary doesn't care for it, it's indeed a poor substitute for a 1x1 window brick, but it's tres useful! (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts, FTX)

Parts I hate (mainly because I own so many of them and find them useless): 1 x 2 technic brick with 2 holes in light grey (I want more black, not light grey) My entire collection of the newer curved parts (i.e. 1 x 6, 2 x 6 and some of the larger (...) (19 years ago, 31-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

I don't know why you would throw those away, they can be quite useful for decoration and other purposes!!

Hmm... To redeem some of the parts that have been mentioned before: 1x2x2: this was originally introduced for various printed bricks (including with a train window print on a clear one - now that's a nice window). Now the current use in plain solid (...) (19 years ago, 31-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

Hello! (...) I wonder what purposes the turned headlight bricks serve in the place you showed. They seem to be there just for the looks. Or wait: Does the base of the headlight give support to the transgreen Facet Top? Turning the headlight brick (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)
