Hello all,
I have a list of pieces that have been bugging me for a while. Why? They don't
exist! It seems like TLG can do mondo-super-juniorized pieces that can be used
with a certain type of model, but why don't they make simple basic pieces that
would be very nice to have? These are the pieces I wish were in production:
1x2 double-ended hinge plates. There are loads of 1x6's that need some thought
in how to use, so why not 1x2's? I can think of a dozen uses for a piece such
as this.
Odd length beams. 1x1's and 1x3's don't cut it. Why not 1x5's, 1x7's, 1x9's or
even 1x11's? </rant>
What pieces do you all wish existed?

| I want halves. There are a number of pieces that form the entireity of some shape that I wish came in halves. I won't try to exhaustively list them but here are a few examples. Fenders. There are two 2x4 pieces used in a lot of vehicles, one with (...) (25 years ago, 14-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| No! No! No! There's already too many different Lego pieces. Everytime they bring out new pieces it just becomes harder to keep track of what's out there. Lego should stop designing different bricks and start producing more sets that make imaginative (...) (25 years ago, 15-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
