New part on Lego Education site?

[DrJB]

The pic below depicts a new part ... yet I can't find it anywhere else. It appears to be a version of 44809 but with axle holes (non-smooth).

Can anyone confirm if such part does exist and in which sets?

Do you have the link to the page where you found this?

Seems like a legit part, although Bricklink doesn't seem to know it yet, if I am searching correctly.

Well that is Pin Connector Perpendicular 2 x 2 Bent. It's not that uncommon. It's in 9398 among others.

I believe he is referring to this parts pack:

http://www.bricklink....asp?S=991405-1

Bricklink says the parts pack was released in 2008, and that's when it was added to Bricklink, with the picture that you have included above.

The Bricklink inventory for the parts pack shows 44809, but that part doesn't have the axle cutout/slot on the top.

I would imagine that either it's not new and undocumented. Or that the image on there is a pre-production part that was replaced with 44809.

This has been asked before. It's a bad photoshop job, the part does not exist.

No! This one has two axle-holes instead of the pin-holes in 44809.

I'd say it would be an improvement when compared to the former part.

Maybe it is a bad Photoshop job. But on LE site, and since 2008. Weird! :P

You're right, it's probably the latter.

Oh silly me. I didn't even see that it clearly had slots for axles. But if the part does not exist, how does it appear in a part pack?

See Prune Face's comment.

Ok i get it now. Still like Conchas said, weird that the fake picture is on LE site.

Not quite. The part I'm referring to has axle holes (cross). The one you're referring to has SMOOTH holes.

Yeah i get that i mixed them up. Didn't look closely at the picture.
