Peppermint_M Posted April 23, 2021 I made the thread, I can bump it Just got the Loony Tunes CMF Marvin the Martian. His helmet is PERFECTION. The sculpting, the printing, the shape, the base colour. It is just *chef's kiss* I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flak Maniak Posted April 25, 2021 Lots of good nominations in this thread. In response to the 2x4, I was going to nominate the 1x2 brick. The nomination of the masonry brick several posts down was very good, too. I'm going to nominate the Mixel-style ball joints as some of the best new parts of the past decade. Maybe not greatest of all time level, but, the 2010s had a lot of great parts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinnacle Posted May 13, 2021 Foremost, I love the typical basic bricks like the 2x4 because they form de basic of all my MOC’s. But in the end, is almost every part useful even technical parts. They make great ornaments for historical buildings such as iron cast railings and so on.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuartn Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) The best brick: the newer bricks, with whatever function or shape, that I don't have yet, that I see others using in clever and practical ways!! The best element I do have is probably the masonry brick. Instantaneously they make any build look more realistic, or provide texture and difference to what are otherwise plain surfaces. Also, the new leaf/foliage pieces I find very useful. Edited May 16, 2021 by Stuartn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EamonnMR Posted May 20, 2021 Best element: 3475 Instantly turn anything into a spacecraft/aircraft/jet powered land vehicle. Cruise control for cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never looked at reviews or even inspected them closely, I was shocked when I dumped the contents out & saw his head & helmet were different pieces. I was beyond excited. Definitely the best accessory in that series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted April 3, 2022 Again, I return to this thread. I am going to use this thread again. I have been sorting a bit, to get building again. So I have once again been getting all stoked about parts: This hair is so cool, especially in the coral colour. When I was but a sprog, hair was the very classic parts, hardly any sculpts and certainly some very basic colours. To have something as excellently random as a coral swept undercut is just fantastic. A little detail, but the little details can set a figure/MOC apart, looks good on a rack/hook and looks good on any figure. This is an axolotl. I love axolotls. My sister has one, and that chonky floofing nutter is the best. (We call her gills "floofs"). To have one to add to LEGO builds is the reason I bought a set. I once wanted a keytar, now at least my figures can have one. Just what you need for a New Retro Wave musician. I like plates with rounded corners, there is something organic about them, almost. I know I can use them in this green shade for a tree build, a swamp or a jungle. A crate, forever dressing up any MOC scene or vehicle to make it look that little bit more lived in, or to put in the idea of activity, of stored tools/treasures/weapons ready for the characters to collect/move/shelter behind. I have also seen dioramas that use them to create wall panels, which looks quite nifty. So yeah, just a bit more of a signal boost to positive fandom things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexandrina Posted April 4, 2022 Among my favourite parts of late - all of which I've discovered through random bulk buys - are: The octagonal brick: The Technic rubber bumper: The Belville wall lattice: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP5670 Posted April 13, 2022 Great thread. Several parts I have in mind were already brought up by others, including the rounded 1x2 plate, 2x2 corner tile, cheese slope and headlight brick. I would also add the 1x1 round tile, the lightsaber blade and the 1x2 panel. Among specialized parts, I have always liked the space quarter dome and the related straight panel . These are surprisingly versatile and can be used in different ways on space models. I just wish they were more common and had appeared in more colors.

evancelt Posted April 19, 2022 Got some hulk hands to use as bushes for micro builds. This is a hulk hand tree WIP I'm planning to use in the background on an upcoming figbarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP5670 Posted April 20, 2022 Yes, those new Technic beams are great. I've wanted that kind of beam for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danth Posted February 9, 2023 Holy smokes! https://brickset.com/article/90825/2023-speed-champions-new-elements New 1x3 and 1x4 rounded plates with hollow studs! I hope the studs are truly hollow all the way through and not just open. If so, I already have plans for them! Also, the wedged slopes are rad. And of course the new rounded 1x1x2/3 with hollow stud, already known but still worth mentioning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted February 9, 2023 Good ol' smokes ... best parts ever: together with and ... provided you want to understand how LEGO PID can be realized - in a totally bottom up approach ;) To all the nerds Best regards, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lifeinplastic Posted February 18, 2023 I really like the minifigure spoons and forks but they don’t seem to come with knives, which is very frustrating. I get that knives aren’t really play friendly and knife crime is an issue but I don’t think a butter knife encourages too much violence. It’s not like children aren’t taught to use full cutlery at home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agent Kallus Posted May 10, 2023 The rounded 1x2 plate it pretty great, you can curve it for a wicker look, use it to add some texture, use it's hollow studs as an alternative connection point, and it, the whisk and the mining hat where the perfect parts to finish off my Daleks.

Peppermint_M Posted June 29, 2023 Anyone absolutely loving the new sword in Dreamzzz? Just look at it! There are two colours so far. This one and this one. I am torn, purple is my favourite colour but the Hero Sword looks so nice too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny1360 Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I believe that would be Technic pin with friction ridge lengthwise and pin hole. And while it is indispensable I personally have problems with it. Edited June 29, 2023 by Johnny1360 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
