I’m with you.... there are some parts I’d enjoy seeing as well.

I have come up with 3 simple parts so far: plate and brick 1x5 and tile 1x3
and thinking about more.

Here’s a part I’d love to see. And like your question/request about the 1x5
brick and plate, I am also curious to know why such a seemingly ‘basic’ part has
never made it into the system.
And though I haven’t rendered one, I think it would also be nice to have a
matching 3x3 plate as well. :)

LEGO parts, but these are all rather complicated.

Yes, some of the fantasy parts that people suggest are complicated, but then

you ask me.
There’s also a part that often comes to mind when I think of this topic. It’s
not a new part, but rather one that hasn’t been seen on the shelves in over 3
decades:

I think it could be a wonderfully useful re-addition to the lineup.
Great topic... always one of my favorites to discuss.

| (...) I remember that thread Allan, great thread! I especially liked your regular/low sloped concave corner brick. Yeah that 4x4 corner brick was pretty cool. It was introduced by TLG in November of 1954 (no tubes underneath), got tubes in 1958, and (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)
