General Part Discussion

Yeah, but not only Technic as there are lots of other parts in odd colours. Check this guy on Flickr.

No, that’s not possible. I’m looking for a part with a vertical offset of 0,5 plate

Headlight brick aka "Erling brick" put sideways for example. There are many ways (and parts) to build different types of offset with bricks. It mainly depends how restricted is your depth.

He has really interesting collection, I remember some ten years ago there were black differential 4L and black driving rings...but red rims are very interesting (even if I do not like red  color on crane 8421...)

How about this for a part? I don't know for what it would be used for (maybe when 2 axles collide and they need to turn), or useful at all, but it looks kind of coll. And I know that there is exactly the same one with cross holes but I figure... why not?

Actually this does have some uses, for exmple it could fit onto a part that has a fixed pin in order to have a pinhole above it. It is harder to pull apart too as opposed to an axle. It also has uses when mounted to normal pins and you could add these to the ends of an axle then put beams on top of that part to add bracing, it also provides a stop on each end for the axle.

I know it's a bump, but has anyone notice yellow angle connector #2 on the 2019 set The Lego Movie 2 Emmet's Thricycle?

As far as I know, this is a new recolor, and personally a highly desired one :)

This one has yellow in year 2003.

Woo hoo!... Patience finally pays off. If you guys remember I said that I was building a custom White version of 42056. 

In order to do so I had to use fake panels, but thankfully Lego have now released said panels as genuine Lego ?

Some other cool recolours have also been released in the 2019 sets. 

Here are the panels in question

The panels on 42096 are smaller you know? The 42056 still cannot be white.

It only appeared in 42023 and the pullbacks 42026 and 42027 in 2014. In later versions it was replaced with a normal black worm gear. Apparently the bushings stressed too easily, which is apparent on the one I own from 42023.

It looks to me at the bottom (behind lowest wheel) where trans orange small beacon light is placed, or it is liftarms 1 X 3 thick ?

[JonathanM]

Unfortunately it's a 1x3 liftarm by the looks. Secured with I guess the 3L pin with 2L axle?

It's used in the combo model, or at least it was before it was replaced.

Unfortunately you could be right, but from angle in small image that I have it looks like it is 2 studs long ...

@Jurss thanks for clearing things

Interesting,  set 25219 has a large number of Technic parts in Reddish Brown, but what caught my eye was the large Technic steering wheel in White, Part #2741

Check out the part list:

42088 has a lot of parts now in Orange colour:

Part 32530 is now available in Yellow I'n set 60222

 

Wow!....more amazing news!...Part 6538c is finally available in White 

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=6538c&colorID=1&in=A

This means I am officially only using 10 fake/clone parts of my White version of 42056...woo hoo!

And the 5x7 frame in Reddish Brown as well, that's interesting.

[TechnicRCRacer]

Some new colors in the re released cherry picker like the perpendicular axle joiners and 3 stud cross blocks in orange.

There is this part in nontechnic set

https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6249327

It is called Pneumatic Connecting Piece,

Interesting, what will be the purpose for it?

Maybe just to connect this?

Edited, just saw the video review of the set and can see how it's being used now

That’s a very interesting piece. The pump too. I’m curious if they have any other uses, perhaps even Technic ones.
