General Part Discussion

[Equilibrium]

Like I said - it depends on bricks category. Bestsellers are shipped from Poland while standard from Denmark. If you had pieces from both, they will be split into 2 orders.

@Equilibrium Interesting part in your profile pic... Care to discuss it? This thread is the right place 

[Equilibrium]

@astyanax It's just a render of one of my first custom bricks for LDD (1st link in my signature). Based on some chinese knock off brand. They had a nice red tractor that used it as front "grille". With Lego releasing so many new panels recently we might eventually get something similar :P

[astyanax]

@Equilibrium Indeed it looks like a plausible future part! I bet TLG already has a couple of test parts like that in their lab...

In the (grainy) pics of the inventory for set 42151 Bugatti Bolide, I think I'm seeing the thin 2L liftarm in Yellow...

FINALLY. I can't count the cases where I wished this existed. In fact I have a built right now where I substituted white parts. Good to know this very basic part now finally exists in all basic Technic colors (black, dbg, lbg, red, yellow). Thanks for spotting it :)

It was a bad surprise for me, many years ago, that this simple part does not exist in yellow... I even thought it was a mistake and I did not look for it properly, in the set inventories

[Maaboo the Witch]

Wonder if it'll appear in any of the other sets, like the dump truck.

Well I had quite a few such surprises with other parts I thought were basic, and in basic colors..

Looks like the 68.7 x 27 S tires are back ;-)

Edit: And CV joints in DBG as foot rest!

But I'd bet those are just LBG, why would they recolor it to DBG for this (or for any other) set? It's just the shadow on the image..

Ahhh, the rare and expensive part that it used only as a footrest... Just in LBG, just a ordinary footrest. I love this set already

Sure, if you'd buy the set for the wheels and some other parts, then it's a nice addition. But I am hoping that these wheels will appear in some Technic set as well.. Though it would be really nice if the thinner version came back..

7L flip flop beam in Green?

Yes, that must be very close! I’m not sure about the middle pin hole though. I think the middle pin hole is perpendicular….

You are correct, you can see it here:

New 6 module long worm gear and 2x2 sliding cube. I bet this will be used in an upcoming Technic set. Maybe a screw pile driver like this.

Or a kind of part inside new Rack+Holder for crane boom expansion, this time for worm gear instead of straight rack and straight gears.

Excellent suggestion! With these parts the boom would be centered all the time and not lift off like with gear rack. I can see a giant Liebherr tripple extension boom crane with such sturdy worm gear.

[msk6003]

As a amature GBC builder, I want use it for vertical ball lift.
Or it will be awesome if that part and match with splat gear.
