[KEY TOPIC] Wanted bricks in LDD

[PerryMakes]

I'll second the request for Unimog parts - those are going to be essential... but in the meantime, I'd also like to see these two get some love:

32136 Technic, Pin Double with Axle Hole

2739 Technic, Link 1 x 6

Cheers ~ Perry

Edit: Superkalle pointed out that 32136 is available as 32005 and 2739 is available as 32138. So essentially both parts are already available... yay!

Last week i was looking for my "collection" of lego and I found few parts that aren't in LDD:

1. 6581 'Tire 20x30 Baloon Medium'

6582 'Wheel 20x30 Baloon Medium'

Notable in 8282-1 Quad Bike and few others.

They're very userfull because their surface is around 6-7 bricks and depth 2 bricks.

2. Raptor?

From Lego sets 7474-1: Urban Avenger vs. Raptor and 7295-1: Dino Buggy Chaser

I'm asking for this because there are (in LDD obviously) small raptors (dinos) and many another things like 41986 Troll and 65049 Rock Monster.

3. Technic figures

'~Technic Action Figure Body' (2698) at Peeron.com

4. Roof Tile 4x5 30182

Its like 32083 Roof tile 4x6 45 degrees but this one has only one side on 45° and second is 90° ( not like 32083 that has both sides on 45°)

'Slope Brick 45 4 x 4' (30182) at Peeron.com

5. 30619 'Cockpit 6 x 6 x 2 & 2/3 with Hinge'

6. 45407 'Wedge 4 x 4 with 1 x 4 Side Plates'

The last two things may be courious (to ask for them) but I would like to ask if some of theese parts (and another parts that are still missing) will be added in future versions of LDD.

7939-Cockpit: If you colour the frame, the glass is coloured the same. You then need to recolour the glass... I probably should update the LXF, but no-one notified me of the problem.

Re the other cockpit piece; I have a custom versions for my homage to 7939

If anyone wants the LXF file for the <insert that tiresome argument> versions; they can be found below:

32 stud long

28 stud long

I'm trying to build the UCS Y-wing in LDD, but there is a part I cannot find anywhere:

[The Undo]

Since in the latest update LEGO gave us many old pieces (like old hinges and windscreens), only thing that's missing for me, and that I really want, are these two windscreens:

Windscreen 10 x 4 x 2 & 1/3 Canopy (2507)

Windscreen 6 x 4 x 2 Canopy (4474)

[Calabar]

Windscreen 10 x 4 x 2 & 1/3 Canopy (2507)

You are not the only one... both me and Giovanne asked for it already!

The other windscreen is not so important because it can be replaced by its modern version, but the 2507 is irreplaceable.

Modern version? What modern version?

[Calabar]

Modern version? What modern version?

I meant the windscreen 30372, but I notice now it is a bit bigger and different in shape .

Sometimes it could be used as replacement, but not ever.

Yeah... I'd love if all those classic lego canopies were modernized and made available again in new sets... Not to mention the old octogonal!

Since the octagonal windscreen doesn't use any obsolete hinge styles, it could conceivably be released in current sets. If there are any structural deficiencies to its design, a redesign could be made that would still be visually and functionally identical. Unless, of course, you are thinking of a different windscreen than me (I'm thinking of the ones so prevalent in Aquazone and Blacktron II).

I think one reason that there aren't modern versions of some of the classic canopy pieces (and why canopies like the octagonal one aren't used anymore despite not being strictly "obsolete") is just that sharp angles aren't as fashionable as they used to be in visions of a high-tech future. And who knows? Grittier sci-fi properties like the HALO games, James Cameron's Avatar, and Christopher Nolan's Batman films could be on their way to changing that (as could the retirement of the Space Shuttle, a ship that has really helped shape our imagined concepts of space travel, in favor of more traditional rockets). It's too early to make a forecast, though: "Sleek" may not be the order of the day anymore in a lot of teen-oriented and adult-oriented properties, but what remains to be seen is whether kids are as likely to buy a toy spaceship if it doesn't look "fast".

Anyway, I definitely support those two hinged windscreens being incorporated into a future update. They are some of the most consistent features in faction-based Space themes, and, since I grew up right in the middle of those, the sets of my own childhood. After those two are added, anything else (like Aquazone-specific windscreens) would just be icing on the cake.

Yup, that's the one.

[Superkalle]

I'm preparing a list to send to TLG of most wanted bricks. I've made a summary of this topic. The list contains a sweet mix of old and new parts and of system/technics/Bioncile/HF (and then I added a few of my own). Please give feedback on this list. The parts are listed in priority order, most important first. Have I missed any? Are they in the wrong order.

Superkalle, I wholeheartedly agree with your list (after all, the more the merrier!) and I most vigourously second this particular sugestion by Calabar:

4474 Windscreen 6 x 4 x 2 Canopy

[Aanchir]

There are a few other parts I feel should be added to LDD:

Minifigure torsos with longer arms (I don't know the Design ID for the assembled torsos or for the individual arms, but an example Element ID is 4565852)

Minifigure hips with longer legs (again, I don't know the Design ID, but an example Element ID is 4562523)

Mermaid Tail (53494)

Mermaid Tail (95351)

8x8 cockpit dome (95198)

No problem bumping

I've already sent the list to TLG, but I'll let them know about your double decker and we'll see what happens.
