Doyle, think about it. You want maybe four pieces at $15 each? (If you have
money to burn.) The rest of us might even pay a dollar, but, if they were
available in 25-packs for $10, we would get tight-fisted and hold out for
even lower prices.
The fan community would not buy 1 million of these in a year.
So, if you want some corners like that, use blue ones. Natch. Or, get a
stiff eraser and a Dremel Wizard! That's right, make your own out of rubber!
Or! Polish a blue one, and coat it in gray vinyl goo! Or take two gray
straight ones, and WHHZZZZ! make one corner!
Other good materials: wood, room temperature vulcanising rubber, limestone
rocks, even lucky bits of seashell if you sand them down.
I have tried sugar cubes with Lego, but, the pointy tips I cut tend to break
off, especially on corner slopes, and they attract ants. So, I built an
ant-castle, and they were happy too.
Anyway, if you have to glue together multiple sugar cubes, the glue tends to
make them crumble easily.
However, the advantage of Sugar as a liquid material is that a mold can be
made from nearly anything, instead of carbon steel.

| (...) Yes it does exist and was in a Pirate island set, and was used as part of a chimney piece. The set was set Rock Island Refuge (6273). And yes I am trying to temp those people at Lego! If the have good business sense they’ll will listen. :) (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.general)
