 | | Am I the only one who hates Lego parts with missing notches of plastic?
|
| I was looking thru a bunch of old 1950's macaroni bricks I purchased recently from a Danish collector. The macaroni bricks were first introduced in 1955.

| (...) Thanks! Yeap, there are a lot of us Michiganians. (...) After my post yesterday I got to thinking that I'd left the gothic arch system incomplete. So below I'll give you a 1x8x4 & a 1x5x5 half arch. The regular half arch, has that 1x2 plate (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) Sure (URL) actually a bit taller than 2/3 brick height, because of that funky rim on the top, but if you were to slice that whole end with the rim off it would be 1x1x2/3 (ignoring that stud on the side). Not a basic brick, but I have several (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

Curved Parts: (2 URLs) Gothic Arches: (2 URLs) Personally, I'm rather fond of the gothic arches, so I'd have to pick the 1x6x3 arch as (...)

| (...) Good call! That wasn't quite what I was envisioning, but I guess it qualifies. For that matter, one might make a half-hearted case that the "Space Positioning Rockets" might sort of partially qualify, with the one-stud-plate overhang. (...)
