How to measure Lego piece

[The Cobra]

Another find in whung's brickshelf gallery:

Set number is 852759.

[CP5670]

This thing looks quite handy. It would especially be useful for Technic models, where angular beam placements are common.

[BlueBard]

Nice find! It would be a helpful element for any Lego builder. Actually I think all of us use some kind of "hand-made" lego measurers, don't we?

[ILikePi]

Nice find! It's great to see that LEGO is releasing a ruler for their products.

By the way, did anyone else see this in whung's BS gallery?:

Looks like a chrome gold plain minifig keychain.

You know, Ricecracker is not going to be best pleased now.

He really should have patented his idea.

Yeah, well I hope it works better for them then it did for me. I'll probably get one of these.

He also has this which I have no idea what it is:

What the heck is that? The pole seems to be made out of about 50 of these.

Kinda look like one of those things that cats scratch on.

[Erdbeereis]

Oh god, don't let Svelty buy that. He'll make a review saying it's my head on there.

I can see it now, "It seems Erdy has sold himself to LEGO to be used a a scratching post, what has happened to his brain?...."

Paper Towel Dispsenser

Hahahaha. Good heavens, what will they think of next? And I thought my salt and pepper shakers and bottle openers were absurd!

Paper Towel Dispsenser

Sweet. I am so all over that. More LEGO in the kitchen is never a bad thing.

Never underestimate the absurdity potential of merchandising...

What?? How would it dispense towels?

Anyway, I suppose that measuring tool could be useful. I usually just count the studs or guess the length, but I'd use it if it was right next to me while building.

And there's even a cookie cutter. Svelte must be in heaven.

[Skinny Boy]

What?? How would it dispense towels?

He means it holds a roll of paper towels.

Anywho, nah. I've learnt that 3 really is the magic number when it comes to Lego. I won't be needing this.

This is being given out at Lego Stores (or at least mine) in July with a purchase of $75 or more. It was in their monthly flyer.

Oh I thought it was a toothpick holder.

[Luke McAwesome]

Oh yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!

It's about time.

[Dadster]

Thanks for the write-up. I was wondering about that tool in another thread...

And, thanks for the heads-up about the July Promo!

[Oky]

I think that's actually one of those sand forms. Nice idea actually. I'd love to make a sand minifig while at the beach and make some sand accessories for it! Sand Indy or Luke Skywalker anyone?

He means it holds a roll of paper towels.

Ah, that makes sense. I wont be needing one of those, though. However, I could use it as TP dispenser!

And yes, my Lego store will be giving out those gold minifig keychains as well. However, since you can't get them with any other discount, I wont be getting any, since paying $75 on lego at MSRP isn't worth it to me. Besides, I still find it strange that it comes with fleshie hands!

Darn, I was hoping that it was a tetherball pole.

As to the Lego measurer, I'll be sure to pick one of those up, they look very handy!
