 | | Double sided plate
|
| Dear Lego- While talking to some fellow AFOL about connecting two plates together flat side to flat side, I thought wouldn't just be great if Lego came out with a double sided plate. I bet people would go crazy for them, especialy the people in the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

TLC won't be able to make this element until it's the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)
