That makes sense! Also, I don’t really have anyone to make my space neat, other than myself.

Well, it has it "plus" and "minuses"; I get constantly distracted and it is very hard for me to find time and concentrate on LEGO; specially when jelous pets are arround...

[NV Lego technic]

Speaking of distractions, we should stop discussing about ways to store pieces here.

So are we going to talk about the Zebra in the room? The new 9L Flip-flop beam to close the gap between 7L and 11L. Now we only need 5L and 13L to complete the series.

Let's be realistic. It's not CaDA we are talking about. ;) Uneven beams would be a big progress.

[R0Sch]

After pink, now single-use neon/bright green tires and neon yellow rims. And yet, they refuse to make proper F1 rear wheels. :(

Actually I'd already be happy with 3 and 4, those would be most useful of these, maybe also 2.

[Stereo]

2 and 3 already have axle/pin versions, not sure the benefit of being all pinholes for ones that short.

If you're referring to the black spine, are you sure it's not a 11L? I counted 5 vertical holes and 5 horizontal holes.

Of course we know those exist, but exactly that is why, because those are axle-pin versions, which is often not what is required (for example a 3L pin needs to go through the ends or a spinning axle needs to go through it).

Exactly. That could be a useful part, that way we don’t have the axle holes, but pin holes.

I'm talking about the white ones below the wings.

It amazes me sometimes how lacking pieces in Yellow and LBG still are, even though they are among the most common colors for pieces. It's not until this year that there are 1x1 spacer, 1x2 xo liftarm, and mudguards in yellow.

For LBG, even though there are connetors in that color, there are no big panel in LBG except the 5x11 one, so it's hard to build something with large surfaces in LBG.

That was surprising for me too, especially yellow, as that is used in many sets. It is good to see these long overdue yellow parts coming in now. I can understand LBG panels a bit more though as it is less used for exterior, being a pretty dull color. But sometimes it is required as a secondary color for extras.

10265 Ford mustang's 5 spook rim is now comming in lime and orient express's 9L connecting rod is comming in green.

The pullbacks are not exclusive to technic anymore? When did that happen?

I want see the combination with the lime green tires from the Dreams set above.

Nice finding @msk6003!
And since it was requested by PM, here's the 1x2 Liftarm with tow ball part from the F1 sets in case you want to experiment with it.

And the 1x9 Flip-flop beam:

P.S. I think the Bush Plane also contains a recolored 1x7 Flip-flop beam in lbg. Hard to tell if it's not dbg, but it seems lighter.

The 3L axle/pin connector inverted, as in O+O would be really useful, I've yearned for it so many times. All pinholes version too, but I'd rather take the one with axlehole in the middle if I could only pick one.
