I'm sorry. LEGO '98 bricks are not backwards compatible with your
old outdated plates.  We suggest you upgrade to DirectBrick7.0
technology and reinstall. Isn't it comforting to fall asleep at night
knowing there are idiots ruining the company?

The closest you'll get is mounting low-slope bricks on their side;
the angles match up exactly. It does, however, make it a bit more
of a challenge to attach the cockpit.

I think I would have prefered a simple 6-wide extension of the 4x10
sloped windshield, with some split-cockpits which could be adjusted
to either 4 or 6 studs wide.

Hey all.

I just bought 6453 Com-Link Cruiser. Something about it yells "THIS is
what you wanted for that monorail design!"  Okay, great.

But I'm trying to build it up a bit in the front, and I can't find
pieces that match the angle. I guess that's a new half-octagon plate in
that set, and none of my pieces (scientifically sorted into a box called
'skewed pieces') seem to fit to do the job.

Does anyone know what kind of piece I need to look for? Does such a
piece (pieces, I guess, since I need it for both sides) even exist?
What set or sets might such pieces be found in?

Thanks.

Rob
