Not necessarily pointing out a set, but getting straight to the point with what actual new parts there are in the Lego Catalog now. I look forward to seeing more articles of this nature from you. I hope you keep up this style of review articles. :D Dave(Mana Ramp Matoran)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10102008790222887371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-54201179242036343762016-10-02T22:02:14.143+01:002016-10-02T22:02:14.143+01:00Ooooooh thanks!

Only its counterpart existed in black. I'll finally be able to turn the inside of the wings fully black in this MOC:<br />https://flic.kr/s/aHskoqA2DXanothergolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063659558378517999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-85256609782188365692016-10-02T17:11:46.622+01:002016-10-02T17:11:46.622+01:00Nice "tip" about the spike piece!

In other words, sort of the uses you'd expect a tassel to have. Imagine how nice it might look recolored in gold! I don't know whether LEGO would take advantage of it for these purposes or whether it would be up to MOCists, though. It may end up being a short-lived part in sets.<br /><br />One thing this article doesn't acknowledge (and which I hope one of the MOCists in the subsequent articles takes advantage of) is that the "pointed" end of the new spike pieces (24482) is compatible with Ø1.5mm accessory holes! So you can, for instance, stick a flower on the end of these spikes, or attach them to LEGO Friends hair pieces and animals.<br /><br />The new skeleton leg from the Minecraft sets is really cool, and I had imagined such a part ever since the 3M minifigure legs made their debut in the Toy Story sets! I'm curious if this part will appear outside of Minecraft, but it definitely has potential on account of having even more usable connection point than its shorter classic equivalent (which was too short for parts to be clipped to the 3.2mm "bone").<br /><br />The helmet crown piece (11437) actually isn't new in black. It previously appeared in two 2013 Ninjago sets (http://brickset.com/sets/70504-1/Garmatron and http://brickset.com/sets/70505-1/Temple-of-Light). For whatever reason, it just didn't appear in the Brickset/LEGO Customer Service inventories for those sets.<br /><br />Excited to see what builders do with all of these parts!Aanchirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758261805365974871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-18700500508027269732016-10-02T16:01:25.400+01:002016-10-02T16:01:25.400+01:00Nice, very nice.Nice, very nice.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/05299187333968755312noreply@blogger.com
