What rare/unusual parts do you have?

[Nazgarot]

I have two of this part, a flexible 26 L axle. It seems quite useful, but hard to find a actual use for it... I have used it in two mocs. The first was a huge failure. In the second, the Linde inspired 3 ton forklift, it was used to make the steering wheel turn with the rear wheels. It would have been very useful if we could get it in other lengths, but as it was a part of the Flex lineup there is no hope it would happen...

Once I got 4 bionicle Vahkis at a garage sale, for 5 bucks each. It had http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=44135 and http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=44810

Then I made a steering system with them, their weird peices

The flexible shaft is useful in low torque applications, but it will be quickly destroyed by anything else. It is a ZNAP part.

Agreed. I've had few flex springs 'unscrew' out of the white axles. The fix I found was to use them in situations that spin only in ONE direction. Though. that tends to be difficult to do.

I've got over 120 black 40tooth gears.

and 300 red pistons

I also have 40 of the wheels from the 8458/8461 because Luca always uses them for the rear wheels on his F1 cars.

I'm sure loads of other stuff I can't remember at the moment. These photos are from 2 years ago so things have changed quite a bit since then.

Oh yeah, 34 of the 5571/5563 wheels.

There should be law setting a max limit as to how many parts one can legally own ... :grin:

Rarest parts I own are 19L flex axles in black. Kind of scared to use them because they're worth so much

Me too. Own 2 of them...

In Addition about 40 red #3 connectors, 12 power puller wheels, some rare red flex axle length... 10 pneumatic cylinder brackets (but probably these will get cheaper cause of the new longer cylinders coming this summer)

Ah, what i forgot: 2 complete 5571 Black cat sets and so all included rare parts e.g. 12 of these Ultra rare expensive wheels+rims...

I only have some Bionicle parts, but I guess they aren't relly rare because I only find tons of the among used parts.

[allanp]

I have 4 of these in black from an early 8880.

[bonox]

who's the chap around here with 50 new micromotors? That might count as some kind of record.

[Lipko]

Hmm, I also have 4 micromotors from I don't know where, I got it in a lot when i a kid. I don't have any adapters or whatever for those though, so I never used them in Technic builds. Do you think I could sell them even without the adapters?

You could sell them even in pieces.

[Bricksonwheels]

About 10.000 chromed ones cant live without them ...

the motors break but the two adapters don't. SImple to sell a replacement motor without the supports to people who want to get their shuttle working again.

Even broken motors still command reasonable prices on BL (5 euro or more), if you just want something to sit and look like it's supposed to be there but is actually a small paperweight.

[dougstar]

hmmm i have 6 black 19 flex axles

[Richard Dower]

I bought part #32557 in some rare colours such as white, blue, yellow and DBG.

[Rishab N]

I just got 24 #3 red connectors for 6 dollars. Not bad I'd say. That makes my total 32 and I'm not sure what to do with them

My Audi would swallow some of them

I would love to build it, but the prices of red flex axles and toggle joints are ridiculous

[Richard Dower]

i dont really have any wheels...for some reason i forget and just focus on the parts, but i bid on some 56x30 wheels....i bid 1 Euro and i won!....woo!, postage was only 3.80 Euro.

Well chuffed :-)
