   (...) 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)
   
        Re: what are the 5 worst lego elements? —Eric Sophie

     (...) 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)
   
        Re: what are the 5 worst lego elements? —Jonathan Wilson
   (...) I dont think this piece is crap for what its intended for, making motorcycles. (...) The 2 bend angle beam is bad definatly. The corrugated tubing is bad but only in the longer lengths.

        Re: what are the 5 worst lego elements? —Geoffrey Hyde
   Those 2-bend angle beams would, IMHO, be a LOT more useful if they were shortened so that one half of it is an exact mirror image of the other half.
