hiroki Posted August 11, 2016 Hi, I've been looking to buy parts for the 2015 SDCC Action Comics #1 set. Upon my research I've noticed that the part with Design Number 98281 (Green Wedge 6 x 4 x 2/3 Quad Curved) only appears in this set. How is it possible that a part is a convention exclusive? And will it ever be released in a widely available set? It's baffling to me that TLG would do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Space Police XVIII Posted August 11, 2016 Yeeeaaah. Kind of evil, isn't it. We'll probably get it in a City set a few years from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiroki Posted August 11, 2016 Kind of evil, isn't it. We'll probably get it in a City set a few years from now. I really hope so. It's strange that TLG would make a run of 1 part in 1 particular color in such a limited number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopMike Posted August 11, 2016 I really hope so. It's strange that TLG would make a run of 1 part in 1 particular color in such a limited number. Why is that strange? It´s an exclusive and LEGO has the design, the need for that piece and the machines ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiroki Posted August 11, 2016 Why is that strange? It´s an exclusive and LEGO has the design, the need for that piece and the machines ! I was expecting a limited run only for the minifigs. To have it in one or the brick-built sets, when other sets, like the Ultron throne or the Batmobile can be cheaply BL'd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted August 11, 2016 Well, it's still just an existing part molded in a new color. It's not like they created an entire new mold and used it only for this one ultra-rare set. I fully expect to see it turn up in a regular, wide-release set sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antp Posted August 12, 2016 Another possibility is that they needed these for one of the parks or for a certified professional, so they took a few parts of that batch for this set ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hiroki Posted August 12, 2016 Thanks for all the input! I guess unless a part has been retired, there's a possibility it will appear in a future set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkdragon Posted August 12, 2016 There are many times that a part only comes in one set in a certain color, it's not a rare occurrence at all. Sometimes they eventually end up showing up in other sets and sometimes they don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PicnicBasketSam Posted August 12, 2016 Yep. I believe red flick-fire missiles only ever came in one SpongeBob set, never figured out why they never used that again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanuinuva Posted August 12, 2016 Yep. I believe red flick-fire missiles only ever came in one SpongeBob set, never figured out why they never used that again... Actually Red Flick Fires were also in the Construct a Buzz set back when Toy Story 3 was out. Also came in the Fairytale and Historic Minifigure set oddly enough http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=61184&colorID=5&in=A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
