Hi all,

I was pondering an interesting thought earlier.  I'll open it to all of you too.

What one (or more) piece(s), NOT yet made (i.e., no mold has ever existed
for it) would you like to see LEGO make?  Simple question.  And no, existing
parts in off colors don't count.  No pink pitchforks and such. ;-)

My answers would have to be:

neck ring w/ studs, a la Rich Marchetti, shown in example here:
http://members.aol.com/blueofnoon/lego/lego.htm

1x3 and/or 2x3 double slope of the 45 and 33 degree varieties(pictures speak
better than words; one of these 'cept not inverted)
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=2341

hybrid 33 degree/45 degree slope corners and peaks (imagine a roof with a 45
degree slope and a 33 degree slope on adjacent sides)

3x3 round bricks and round plates

male-male plates

1x1 clip with a stud on bottom (similar to this, except with a stud instead
of a hole)
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=2555

OK, there are my picks.  Yours would be?

A double plate, singtle thickness, so that you can add to the top or bottom, i.e.: (URL) did these samples in 2 colors so you can see the double sided ness..... these are a little thicker than they're soposed to be.....

  Re: What one piece would you like to see?
 
(...) My vote would be for a moritorium on new parts for at least the next 3 to 5 years. Does this sound like nonsense? Perhaps. But I think the biggest problem today isn't a lack of new parts, it's a glut of new parts. It would be so nice to see (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

What a great title for a thread! Although I expect it may expose the great divide between; pieces to make things look right and; pieces to make things function right I suspect that divide runs close to the Technic edge :) Being polarised toward the (...)
