Did you notice that Anakin's Podracer (set 7131) comes with > gray gable connectors and blue three-slope peaks (piece numbers 3049 and 3048, > respectively)? Thanks for the info Jeff. It looks like some of my Lampposts have part of a Homemaker Coffee Pot as the lamp. I wonder if these 1x1 (fat) minifig rounds in regular clear are rare? Were there any recent sets that had these? As for the gable connectors in grey - now we need 2x2 regular sloped inside corner bricks in grey (Do they make these? I know they make the inside (convex) corner grey bricks in the Adventurers sets). As for the blue 3 sloped peaks (1/2 pyramid), I can never get enough of them. Luckily I have a large assortment of blue regular sloped bricks: gable connectors, 3 sloped bricks and inside & outside corner bricks. (Rob Farver has been casting a covetous glance at these).

		Re: And now a lovely beverage (was Re: Golden Gate Bridge cables)
(...) The Fright Knights Minifig pack had one, that is probably the cheapest set in recent times. Have you checked out the Star Wars sets yet? They are an excellent source of pieces. Also check out the soon-to-be released Sith Infiltrator. It has (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)
