| (...) Yes and no. A year back or so, someone was asking if TLC had ever made 1x1 plates in orange. 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 (...)

| (...) 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) (...) (21 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! (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) No, Lego apparently can't justify the cost of producing the mold for such a part, nor that of a plate with studs on both sides; however, you can have your fill of useful parts like this: (URL) :-) Mark (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts)

In fact, many of the basic bricks are being produced (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts, FTX)
