What do youz guyz think of this...

    A brick or plate that was male on both sides and another that was female on
both sides. For those who may not understand: male is the studded side and
female is the side that receives the studs.
    Is there anything like that now. If there is I haven't seen it.
    I've wished that I had something like that on several occasions, it opens
up so many creative avenues and combinations. I've thought of gluing two tiles
together to make the two sided female plate; and cutting a base plate and
gluing the flat sides together to make the two sided male plate, but I don't
think it would look very nice.

    Is there a way to submit ideas to TLG?

Those peices did/do exist with Tyco bricks. I seem to remember a couple of 2x2 "plates." There was the double female one that was 1/2 brick thick, and the double male that was about the thinkness of a baseplate. The real cool piece was double male (...) (25 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) You can use a Technic halfbeam as a "double female plate". E.g., this part: (URL) course, it's slightly thicker than a normal plate, so it may not work well in all applications. Fredrik (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)
