After seeing the great ball moving into more and more train layouts... the
“soccer” balls, seem a bit .... uh “strange” for lack of a better word.
After a bit of group discussion, I was looking for a Lego substitute... Technic
Ball Joints? Black or brown Minifig Heads??? Sadly, they both carried their own
issues with size and shape.
And then, a very strange click guided me straight into ... the Bionicle
department. Can’t say I normally spend time there.
Anyhow, I see this “new” product (at least I assume it’s new)... “Zamor Spheres”
set number 8719 and I think... “Hmmm, that would be a nice substitute.”
So I order a box of 10 spheres, (3 “pearl-ish” silver, 2 “pearl-ish” gold, and 4
“pearl-ish” pewter). I was going to order a few boxes, but because I wasn’t
100% sure what size they were going to be, I thought I would just start with
one. Sure enough, upon opening them, they ARE NOT the same size as the soccer
balls.
As this clearly pic shows.....
Just thought I would share the info before someone orders a case!
Cheers,
Janey Red Brick
