I hate this part I have dozens, probably from the ebay lots I buy where
people cant wait to get rid of them, but each to their own.
My nomination for potw (once the current list is exhausted) would be the
technic triangle which has come to the rescue several times lately, in
situations where only it's unique attributes could provide a solution.
In a reversal of the current trend for nostalgia and criticising TLC which
I've been doing as much as anyone, Just before the huge drop off in Technic
quality Lego did make some really brilliant parts (and still is with the new
gear seen in the spybotics sets). Newer parts I love include lift arms, half
width studless beams in enough different lengths, 2L brick with cross hole,
polarity switch and numerous strengthend re-interpretations of old parts.
Too many to mention really.
