(...) Hmm. Hadn't thot of it that way, but it certainly makes sense. TLG could have accomplished the same thing with 1 2x6, 4 2x2 med slopes and 4 2x2 med inv slopes for use in other ways; or even made the legs themselves into a new type of piece, (...)

A 2x3 offset brick would be very cool! Like the 'zigzag octagonal brick' from Aquazone et al. Except a regular sloped brick. Actually, a 1x3 offset brick would be even better. I'm wanting those things everywhere. Does anyone else have new pieces (...) (26 years ago, 11-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) YES. Just about _every_ time I build something I wish for this: A black Technic Axle with Pin, where the "pin" part is high friction. Basically, a cross between part 3749 and 4459. I can't believe TLG has not made this piece. It is so obvious. (...) (26 years ago, 12-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Here's a simple one: 1x2 plate with *2-finger* hinge on the side. Sounds silly, but I could have used a bunch of these in one particular model. The alternatives I came up with weren't as good. How about port- and starboard- halves of the (...) (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) At times, I need the SAMRITC type. So a mix of types sure wouldn't hurt. BTW, I needed some of those old super high friction types the other day, so I searched through my bin. Of all those, I only found _one_ of that type. Man, was I PO'd. I (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I can't swear about this, but I think the new Space Port series may have some trans-blue plates. At least in 2x2 size.
