But THIS!!!!

1x2 plates with one stud (part #3794): 80 for $4.99 (20 each in gray, dark
gray, black, and white)

*This* may be the *greatest* part LEGO(R) has ever made. Wow. Boy that's
VERY cool.


Hey, you may have a point there.  I've got enough of them for normal stuff,
but being able to buy them by the pound opens up some *very* interesting

Indeed.

- Architecturally, things get MUCH more interesting when you can offset
walls and suchlike by 1/2 stud.

- They're just about a must for doing odd width vehicles.

- I use them for door recesses and bulges on rolling stock.

And that's just off the top of my head. TRES useful part.
