| | | Hey to all. I just bought my first throwbots sets. I don't know if I will buy more, or not. Most likely not, unless I find that some of the pieces are especially useful. But...

You mean Tyco and Lego are compatible? *drool* why can't we get that here? anyway: Lego also makes.. or ahs made, at least, 2*2/1*4 hinges of 1 brick high. 375 comes with 8 yellow ones, and some other castle sets come wih grey ones...

| | | | (...) Really? Cool. Rob, could you try to describe the piece a little? And which set(s) they come in? So far, I have not seen any Throwbots, and this news has piqued my curiousity. This could be really useful. -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 13-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

Now that I've spent the last couple days exploring plane rotation, I realize that these pieces are not really any different for plane changing that 1x8 Technic bricks, where you could insert 1x(x-1) bricks on each side, with studs facing each (...)
