What say ye.... what pieces don’t you like?

Oooh. Fun game... I discovered a new piece just last night which I already
hate. Don’t own any or know what it’s called (2x2 tall dome?) but it is a
single part which could be made from a 2x2 round with a 2x2 dome on top. I can
see absolutely no reason for this piece to exist.

These are nice for single color steam domes. I never liked the notched edges on
2x2 round brick.

On a related topic 1x2x2 bricks are pretty dastardly too, 1xNx5 is useful as
it is structurally sounder than 5 1xN but 1x2x2 is pointless... in the sin bin
for both of them.

My initial reaction to this part was of a similar vein, but I recently built a
large retainer wall, using mostly 1xNx5 and 2xNx1 bricks. And the 1x2x2 helped
to reduce the seam lines in the ramped section. They are useful as they have a
center axel socket on the bottom (as do the 1x2x5 version).
 If this
had hollow studs, I’d be even happier. Even beter would be all brick and plates
with hollow studs.
Another reason I like it, I can often place a decal without having to STAMP.
They also look nice as the metal panels between the windows on train passenger
cars.

| (...) Minitalia bricks are like that! I'm glad that the headlight/washing machine brick has been redeemed! It's one of my faves. I can see why Gary doesn't care for it, it's indeed a poor substitute for a 1x1 window brick, but it's tres useful! (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts, FTX)
