While you ponder suitable nicknames, here are the four colours it comes in so far:
- White (6485124) in 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars
- Bright Light Blue (6513917) in 76424 Flying Ford Anglia
- Blue (6485125) in 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars
- Black (6513918) in 76919 McLaren Formula 1 Car
… as soon as multiples are involved, that tiny difference adds up!
Of course the slope will be useful for more things than mosaics! Here's a few experiments Tom came up with.

What a lovely photo of the two chefs! I assume the tiny grated parts are Lego as well? Can't seem to recognise them.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you don't mention another big difference between the new and old part - unlike the old, the new slope has a centre pin on the underside, which means it can't be placed out of system like the old one. I wonder why that decision was taken - just like I wonder why the old doesn't have it, just like the 1x2 tile somehow doesn't!
I imagine the older version doesn't have a center pin since it might be slightly tricky to affix to the upper grill portion. The new version doesn't have that issue, and a center pin was likely chosen for consistency with other slopes like the 1x2 double cheese slope.
DeleteThe new LEGO doorstop!
ReplyDeleteAgree, doorstop seems like a good descriptive name.
DeleteI don't have any in my possession as of yet, but since the 1x2 Cheese Slope has already been taken, and this new part still has a similar design to that of the Cheese Grater, which was really only called that because it was the same height as the Cheese Slope except longer and had it a grate, I want to keep Cheese in the name, hence...
ReplyDeleteLong Cheese [Slope]
This would then I guess make the current 1x2 Cheese Slope the Wide Cheese Slope. It's not ideal but I feel like the name has to retain the part's Cheese origins in some capacity.
The Big Cheese
DeleteThe grateful piece was grate, but this bodes for grateness!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to call it the Cheese Lesser to distinguish it from the Cheese Grater.
ReplyDeleteJust waiting for the Slope, Curved 2 x 1 x 2/3 to be cut in 2 (Slope Curved 1 x 1 x 1/2?) so we can maintain the same curve radius instead of having to use cheese pieces.
ReplyDelete"blue cheese" (because of the first colours it was released in)
ReplyDelete"cheese lesser" (because... well, you figure it out)
