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 they'd like to see?

(...) 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)
