For me, ball joints have been a huge improvement in making models playable. Everything from mechs and robots, to animals and large scale characters are vastly superior when made with ball joints. I can only imagine what modern sets would be like if they had to rely on only hinges for articulation. Not to say that it's greater than some of the examples listed above, but it's definitely way up there.

While I don't see myself buying them, I'm glad that this may help reduce the amount that LEGO is gouging us by.

I just tested it and the pieces do clip together, and it spins freely.

I just looked on the old Lugnet forums, and it was used at least as early as September 1998.

It looks like it may be this set: https://brickset.com/sets/8852-1/Robot

Most of my collection, maybe 75%, has bubbles while the rest don't. I did notice that all of them have a slight indentation on the bottom where the molding injection point is. Maybe other brands would be flat?

The bottom looks like a standard 1x2 plate.

So apparently there is a different version of this piece. Today I was building the flower bouquet set and noticed that this part in this set has a different underside and does have clutch power in the center, and also a different part number (81300).

I just tested it on some of my parts and had the same results. It's because the wall of the piece is a little thinner than regular pieces, and has small bumps where it touches the side of the stud for friction. It was probably designed this way to save 0.01 grams of plastic per part.

No, the button does not push all the way in. It sticks out about 1/16th inch.

It looks like you haven't started the checkout process yet. When you go through the checkout there is a place to put the vip discount code right above the "pay with gift card" field.

Thanks! I tried looking for everything with "alien" in it's name, but I guess a droid wouldn't be in that category. :)

Now I've got one that I can't figure out and it's driving my crazy. I found it in a box of parts at a yard sale, and at first I didn't even think it was LEGO until I looked on the inside of the head and found "©LEGO" and "30311". I can't find anything on Brickset or Bricklink. Any Information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The minifigure comes from this set: 10679 and the other parts come from the general grievous buildable figure: 75112

The $250,000 figure for a mold was specifically for the LEGO games dice piece. The average cost of a mold is closer to only $10,000.

I seem to recall that Mega Bloks had a bunch of Halo sets with a lot of purple parts. If you search "mega bloks halo covenant" you might find what you're looking for.

I think it would be funny if the set that came out of this was just a mosaic art set. I mean, it would solve any problems of having to bring back old moulds and stuff like that.

It's a boat weight and it appears in these sets: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=x149&in=S

It looks like they are from these three sets: https://brickset.com/sets/7000-1/Baby-Ankylosaurus https://brickset.com/sets/7001-1/Baby-Iguanodon https://brickset.com/sets/7002-1/Baby-Brachiosaurus
