The Rocket Dragster has a couple of interesting click-hinge pieces.  One is a
combination of <part:30364> (2) and <part:30365> (3), with a single 'finger'
on one end, and a double 'finger' on the other.

<set:6474> has a couple of these,  too.  Also in yellow,  though.

Your right.  I don't have that set, so I hadn't seen it there.  I stopped
buying (juniorized) town unless it's unavoidable :-)

The other thing that really interested me was the minifig shirts.  The Speed
Dragster's minifig has one of the ugliest faces you can imagine

Is that why you decapitated him before taking the picture?  Afraid someone
would be turned to stone by seeing it?  :-)

That's exactly right!  Or, um, at least close.  BTW, these 'pictures' were
taken by putting the pieces on my scanner!  Works rather nicely.  Though I
don't think it would work as well with a model that had more than a couple of
bricks depth to it!

Oh, and the windup motor works great!

Well,  I guess I'm off to TRU to get one and try it out.  That long straight
rounded beam in one of your pictures also appears in the "Slammer" Technic
sets in black.  And the 6602 has two that are 5- or 6-long that also have all
pin-holes,  instead of having some axle-only holes.  Not quite as exciting,
since it can be replaced with a pair of half-beams,  but a good omen.

I wasn't sure about that one, I forgot about it being in the Slammer sets.  I
like it, though.  Odd that it's odd.  Length-wise, that is.  Is this, at 15
studs, the longest odd-length LEGO element made?
