Useless? I'll buy these in any quantity that people want to sell,
especially 4591
Good thread, though. Right now I am starting to think that the pieces
that I have the most of and use the least of must be the most useless...
My #1 contender right now would have to be the 2x4/ 2x4 old style plate
hinge, which I have a bazillion of and never use.
#2 is the technic angled end beam. It slopes the wrong way to be of much
use to me. Now one that sloped up instead so I could use it on the
underside of train cars, that would be VERY useful. I could mount it
upside down but it's not worth spending rare pieces to get it to mount
cleanly.
#3 would be all the right opening red 4 pane town doors I have from
buying too many of the doors/windows sets. Why could they not also make
some left opening ones?
#4 is just about anything in trans orange or trans lt green.
I WAS gonna say the 1x3 and 2x3 bricks but I just had a project that
consumed a bunch of them (an airport control tower... uses 2 bigfoot and
2 discovery station windshields, upside down, for the big glass panels.
The whole upper story is upside down which lets me mount radar screens
directly on the underside of theceiling of the tower for a very
realistic effect. )
