I agree, transparent corner slopes would be awesome. But transparent bricks at Lego in the past (I know of a few cases) have had their own molds separate from similar ABS parts, engineered for the different properties of the plastic. So it's "new (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

I was looking at the Lego Factory site yesterday. And like some other AFOLs I was rather disappointed with the Micro Lego scale. I don't care much for those 1x1 headlights (or pigeon holes as I like to call them) used as windows. It is too bad that (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)
