As I understand, they copy inventories directly from TLG without change, even though they're known to be often incomplete. Better to check Rebrickable, which converges to completeness thanks to community corrections. https://rebrickable.com/sets/75979-1/hedwig/#parts https://rebrickable.com/sets/42102-1/mini-claas-xerion/#parts Following those links, parts occurring in at most 3 sets are marked as rare. Most of the parts you described are not rare, at least according to this definition. Quote
vliet Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Sorry then, mostly I use brickset for such searches/inventories. I didn't know that rebrickable was more accurate. Edited June 18, 2020 by vliet Quote

First we have: And then we have: What's the difference? (other than price and rendering...) Expand A new design of an existing element. It happens every now and then. I compared the lime ones with some older black ones and it seems that the lime ones have a little less friction and 'snap' than the older black ones. Not sure if that is because of a design change (smaller ridges maybe) or if that is because of the colour (giving slightly different material properties) Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 @Jeroen OttensOh okay, don’t have the parts to compare so I thought the render wasn’t a mistake. Quote
SNIPE Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) They have not long done this little monstrocity as well: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=189220#T=C&C=11 Now we cant put a bar through the pin since this mould does not have the round hole in the pin like most frictionless pings have.

Expand I both love and hate how firmly these guys 'snap'. They say, avoid friction locking, but holding something with just 2 of these pin connectors basically guarantees it'll never come off. On the other hand, I almost tear off my skin during disassembly... If the new mold has less 'snap', I'll have to re-evaluate my trust in them... Quote

Expand Maybe TLG figured out they were causing too much strain on the costumers I also tested a black one from Lambo and indeed it seems less snappy and easier to insert, rotate and remove. Quote

Expand Yes, connexion is... sturdy! something I consider to be a good thing, just hope the new version is not too relaxed. I use a large rubber band to pull them to avoid (mostly!) sore fingers...

SNIPE Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Here we go again, more badly redesigned parts: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=66906#T=C&C=11 Now we cant put any sort of 3mm bar inside of it.. Edited July 8, 2020 by SNIPE Quote
Touc4nx Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Wait, On brick link it says that the "new" mould exist only in spike prime, but I have not these set but have this part... (on the left, the "new" one, on the right the "old" one.) Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 That makes no sense, when you rely on this part to take a bar, like for example 42115's caliper assembly. They REVERTED back to the old design? Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 In the LEGO Bricks & Pieces 66906 is shown with the 4 mm hole instead of the square hole. Now that doesn't mean it will actually look like this (the new pin-with-pinhole is shown as a not having frictionridges, while the actual part does have friction ridges). The older mold pictures don't show the hole, so we can't compare. In the past Bricklink didn't even make the difference between the two molds, so there is a good chance their pictures are not accurate. The relatively new red version also still has the 4 mm hole. Bottomline: I don't expect that the hole is reverted back to the old design. Quote
SNIPE Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) heres a new part I saw in the uocoming trolls world tour set: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=65473 there will also be other angles of this part as seen on the box art: Those trans light blue slide pieces are in a friends set too and are super adjustable so good for GBC or maybe like a tube shaped race track.

Erik Leppen Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 That same 135-degree elbow part is in the Mickey/Minnie Mouse set in black, 14x if I remember correctly. Seems a useful generic part. Not sure yet what for, but I'm sure people will find all kinds of uses. If anyone knows the radius (inner/axis/outer), that would be useful information. Quote
