I'm sure I'm not the only one who sometimes wishes for certain parts that
TLC don't make .... yet. So, in hopes that it might inspire some Lego design
engineer somewhere to go ahead and just make a few, I've decided to maintain
a list of such items on Brickshelf.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=14604
I'll add new items to it as ideas come to me. Any suggestions would be very
welcome.

| (...) Including non Technic?? Me, I've always pined for an easy way to reverse stud polarity. The Megablocks double sided (studs on both sides) plate is a great way to do it in minimal thickness. (23 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

| I've occasionally wished for a 7x7, 56-tooth gear (same size as the outside of the large turntable). I know others have taken turntables apart to use them as gears (I think I saw this usage in a clock mechanism). In fact, I'd buy several (say 10 or (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

| Well, I guess I'll jump in now and present my list of wants: A decent socket for the towballs. I think the towball is an under-utilized part because there's a lack of decent parts with socket receptacles. For example, take the end of this part: (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)
