The gray does look odd compared to black, but like others, I've always liked
the idea of being able to build on the wheels.

I remember these. They certainly didn't seem to fit mini-figs at all.
Don't miss 'em.

I can see your gripe with them on the Constitution re-issue, since the
original part is more rarer. I do love this part, but I would love it even
more if it were just a 1x1x1 brick with a stud on one side WITHOUT the
recess. That has always made SNOT building difficult with this piece, which
is a pain because there aren't many alternatives that are this small (hard
to get much smaller than a 1x1x1 brick). I understand why it's there (if
you turn the piece on it's back it's exactly two plates high) but I've
hardly ever used it this way. You can see it applied here:

I was totally surprised by this when I rebuilt this set for the first time.
I had no idea that they could be used this way!

Ditto on the 1x2x2 bricks and 2x2x3 bricks.
Ditto again on most of the Sports-specific parts as well, the worst offender
being the Soccer player handle thingy.
How about some parts that I hate not existing that could greatly enhance the
balance of the System? For example:
2x2x3 inverse extreme-slope corner
2x2x3 inverse extreme-slope brick (why have they only made 1x2x3's?)
1x3 dual-inverse medium-slope brick
That's just for starters!

| Hello! (...) I wonder what purposes the turned headlight bricks serve in the place you showed. They seem to be there just for the looks. Or wait: Does the base of the headlight give support to the transgreen Facet Top? Turning the headlight brick (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.general)
