(...) Hi, ok, here's the deal: Back in 2004, I went to LEGO HQ in Enfield Ct. I went to meet with the Master Builders. I had an open line of communication with one of the Master Builders. He had been very nice and supportive of my creations. I asked (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, FTX) !

(...) Too right -- sorry, I neglected to look at the history of decorated elements. Sorry. But I think my point is still valid -- part 3939 was designed/intended to be used as a windshield, not a roof. Steve (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts, FTX)

(...) Strange. I never noticed that before. I just checked the one 2x3 slope that I have from McDonald's, and it's not textured. Every other printed slope that I have is textured, though. -Elroy (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

Something I have noted with recent roof bricks is that the texture on certain elements has become less and less. The 2x2 external and internal corner bricks I have had in recent sets and via pick a brick have been almost completely smooth. Pushing (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

Also, keep in mind that the slopes that came with the McDonald's Happy Meal sets a few years back were NOT textured. They had printed images on the sloped part, but if I remember correctly, that slope was smooth. eric harshbarger (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

(...) Do you mean part 3939? [LDrawPart 3939:46] Going by the data collected on Peeron, this part first appeared in 1978. For the next ~13 years, the part only appeared in transparent colors.

(...) OK, I would love to give some special reason, but I know of none. Ever since the sloped bricks first came out in red (1958) and blue (1960), they have had the textured finish. The simplest explanation I can think of is because most roofs are (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

Its one of the most trivial things, but its always bothered me. Why have that texture on the slope end? What purpose does it serve? From the small selection of un-textured slopes we have, one can only infer that these would be less trouble to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)
