 | | Hermaphrodite Pin? —Darrell Urbien
|
| | | Hi, This is driving me crazy - I THINK I've done the searches correctly but I can't find anything.. Does LEGO make a pin that has studs on both sides? I can distinctly remember building a recent kit (maybe a SW Mini? Spider Man?) that had a really (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Nope. Not that I've ever seen. (...) The only pin with a stud on it is the (URL) 1/2 pin>, though the TECHNIC pin tip is only slightly wider than a stud, and can usually be used like one. In fact, many of the basic bricks are being produced (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| | | | | Hello! Such a pin doesn't exist. But maybe this would be of use for you? (URL) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts)

| | | | | | (...) I think it does exist (as a plate, anyway), just not available to the public. I believe a holiday S@H catalog from a couple of years ago had one on the cover. I can't find a scan of it and don't have a copy, but remember noticing it. The cover (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts)

| | | | | | (...) Knowing that the LEGO Master Builders have no serious qualms about part modification, and that they do not have the ability to order custom shapes that aren't available to the public, I'd have to guess that it's just one of these parts>with (...)

| | | | | (...) Like others have said, no I don't think there's such a pin. However, I have tried using this part: (URL) When I was a kid, I broke the "clip" part off the 1x1 plate and used the round clip to attach two plates back to back. You'll have a (...)

| | | | | (...) Just for the sake of completeness, I'll mention that to my knowledge Tyco produced and sold the only LEGO-compatible single pin male:male connector. Tyco also produced a 2x2 male:male connector plate that was thinner than a normal plate, as (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Now that I think of it, isn't "hermaphrodite" incorrect in this context? I mean, a 1x1 brick is hermaphroditic re: male:female connection points. The part you're describing might be more accurately described as male:male. Dave! (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Of course you're correct. I guess I thought of all the parts that allow 180 degree connections as "hermaphrodite", but realize now that's not the accurate term. I can see myself a)thinking, "I wonder what this little pin is for?" and then b) (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

I could not find any, but I did try some LEGO-modification by taking a 1x1 plate with clip-lite and very carefully trimming off the clip-lite with an (...)
