Thanks for the pics Jeremiah! That helps a lot. But now I'm actually more
curious.
Couple questions . . . .
1. How strong is the movement? Less than a click hinge? Better than a
standard? I guess what I'm wondering if it could bear some weight.
2. It is a detente system like the standard click hinges or is some kind of
ratchet type mechanism?
3. Does it come apart and if so could you please post some pictures of the
inside?
4. Is there no way to attach the piece to standard bricks? Is it smooth on
the bottom?
If you could let me know that'd be great. I haven't seen any of these new
sets yet.
