  New element in new Biolicle Va sets?
 
Well, it's new to me, a friction version of the 'technic axle pin', 3749, in black. (URL) this appeared anywhere else? It looks like it could be useful... Huw (23 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I got these in black from my 6950 Mobile Rocket Transport way back in the day. They were black, but weren't friction pegs. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) In what sets (set number, please) have you found these new pins? How many are included per set? thanks, TJ (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New element in new Biolicle Va sets?
 
(...) I'd be disappointed (in LEGO) if there's both a friction & non-friction version in the same colour. Up till now, such subtle differences were easily "sortable" by colour, this would change that drastically. What space sets have the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The all-terrain [sic] vehicle (don't have the number handy) used it to mount the wheels. But this was many years before the friction pegs were invented. --Bill. (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New element in new Biolicle Va sets?
 
(...) They are definitely friction pegs. They are indeed black. I'd be disappointed to if I had bought a 'sorting toy' instead of a construction toy. The REAL confusion would be if they were light grey. (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: New element in new Biolicle Va sets?
 
(...) Thanks. I've been waiting for Lego to make this part. It only seems natural to have a friction peg with an axle end. It will certainly be a useful part and I hope they include it in more new Technic sets. TJ (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: New element in new Biolicle Va sets?
 
(...) Hmmm. That's interesting. If you're talking (URL) 1981), the brickshelf instructions definitely look like they're grey, not black. Were there 2 versions of the set I wonder? Seems strange LEGO would produce a different colour for just 1 set. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.database)

  Re: New element in new Biolicle Va sets?
 
(...) Yes, that's the set I was talking about, but I was wrong. It's actually set (URL) "Mobile Rocket Transport" that has the black ones. Eight of 'em, to be precise. (...) That's a mistake, because they definitely have 6 grey ones. --Bill. (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.database)

No, the regular Bahrak do not have these new friction pegs, but they do have a new non-friction 3L peg (in light gray as expected). "Huw Millington" <hmillington@cix.co.uk> wrote in message news:Gqrsux.EM4@lugnet.com... (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
