(...) Defining what we mean exactly is a good idea. The list of the worst parts must include the Technic motorcycle steering boss. A 2x2 brick with a protruding arm with the end cranked at an angle. How could you EVER find a use for it. It's also (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

1. I agree about that "Steering Boss" Evan I have tried to find a use for it! 2. I'm not a big fan of those corrogated tubbing either. 3. Those Fin plates like in the Red Technic Super Car 4. ummmm.... 5. eeerrrr...i dunno Eric (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) If you are refering to the throwbot containers then I aggree with you. But OTOH if you are refering to the round roborider cans then I disaggree. They cant be used for building, true, but they make GREAT storage for various parts. (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)
