 | | Why does LEGO call the 33 degree slope a "25 degree" slope?
|
|
This piece : (URL) called a 25 degree slope, but everyone else calls it a 33 degree slope. Why the discrepancy? Is it really 33 or 25 degrees? And if it's 33 degrees, why doesn't LEGO update the product name? If it's really 25 degrees, why doesn't (...) (17 years ago, 5-Aug-07, to lugnet.parts)

Has anybody an idea which part is showing on the box of the set 6636 that looks like 2486 (Bar 1 x 8 x 2)? From the picture it has to be "Bar 1 x 8 x 3" but the set containted in real part 2486. Or was it only a mistake by TLC when they changed the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Aug-07, to lugnet.db.scans, lugnet.parts, lugnet.cad)

Hey all, Have these two parts: (URL) it seems that the spring is missing. Now, I don't have a replacement spring, but if I did, what is the easiest way to separate these parts to re-insert the spring? Did it ever come with a spring? Dave S. (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.parts)

would be a slight modification of this part: (URL) of a 2x2 plate, I'd like it to be 4x4. That would allow for better grip because of the increased stud area. The 2x2 stud area often does not provide enough grip for large assemblies. Also, there is (...) (18 years ago, 24-Jun-07, to lugnet.parts)
