Favorite unintentional play feature?

[Lemerbrix]

Lego sets have lots of play features, but what is your favorite unintentional one, what I mean is play features that Lego doesn’t promote on the box

example: in Zane’s golden dragon jet, if you detach the cockpit, it can be used as an escape pod

so stuff like that

Hmm, I use a brick separator to scratch off lottery tickets.

Not exactly what I meant, I mean set specific unintentional play features, but now I know what to do if I ever get in the lottery business

Sorry couldn't resist, lol, it's hard for me to find play features as I really don't play, much but I have used LEGO for stuff it was not meant for.

It’s fine, I thought this thread would get more attention

I like to use the rocket from City 60351: Rocket Launch Centre as Space Shuttle fuel tank + boosters (remove the top of the rocket), for example with the shuttle from 31117: Space Shuttle Adventure (or even go sci-fi futuristic with 80020: White Dragon Horse Jet after removing the tail blade/exhaust)

Not meant to be a realistic scale or anything, but it's still a decent size tower + rocket + shuttle that way, using 2 very recent sets.

Also I like to use that launch tower with the 80035: Monkie Kid's Galactic Explorer as well, as it's much bigger then the one that's included.

^ For a complete Shuttle stack all from the same year, try the SLS from 60351 with the Shuttle from 41713. It's smaller than the Shuttle from 31117, and has a more City-like build.

On a similar note, Brick separators are also really great at opening Pistachios…

The Daily Bugle being one giant minifig display stand... I'm close to running out of free space for more placements.
