If you're meaning the green 1x2x1.3 rounded top w/side plate doothingy,
they're in the Flash Speeder (12 of them). Looks like James also used the
green 1x4x1.3 rounded top bricks (w/o side plate), also from the Flash
Speeder. 2 green macaronis are in Gasgano's pod racer, but it doesn't look
like James used any macaronis.
