<macaroni
bricks (nickname for the 2x2 quarter circle bricks).   What really
shocked me was the fact that there were 4 different types of macaroni
bricks, 3 types of which I had never seen before.  They are:

1)  The type that is still in use today 45 years later.
2)  The same as type 1, except they don't have that missing "notch" on
the bottom outer edge of the piece that makes building them onto a
baseplate possible.
3) A "half circle" macaroni piece (the exact dimensions as 2 macaroni
bricks plased end to end), with 2 of those notches.
4) A "half circle" macaroni piece without the 2 notches.


Hi Gary,

that's really interesting. I hadn't heard of those bricks before (and I'm a
quite new Lugnet reader, so I missied your old post).

Thanks for posting it again!

Regards,

Ben

(...) Hi Ben, Funny you should talk about the half circle bricks..... I just found my October 29,1999 post here in lugnet.general where I talked about the rarest LEGO bricks. Rather than cross referencing it, I just copied/pasted it below. Enjoy! (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)
