Most recent set I got this piece in: 71457: Pegasus Flying Horse
I was surprised this was only in two colours. Then I realised it was the same as part https://brickset.com/parts/design-17485 Which is also still in production. Weird.
These and their...second-cousin-twice-removed (the a fore mentioned 17485) are GREAT for robot/droid torsos, esp. adding part 66788 (working on a Med maintenance robot using yellow as a base color; a bigger/more 'industrial' version of COL386).

It's so weird that set 71457 has that redundant title. Does Lego not trust customers to know what a "peagsus" is? Yet Bionicle sets had titles that appeared as gibberish to the uninitiated. They never used such clarifications as "Toa Warrior."
Holy Brick 2X2 Round with Technic pin compatibility, Batman!
@Norikins:
Pegasus Flying Horse With Wings For Flight Through The Sky.
Second time a dismembered and decapitated Chopper has been RPotD: https://brickset.com/article/70817/random-part-of-the-day-brick-2x2-round-with-hole-%C3%B84-85
This type of brick was introduced for Chopper right?
I know this largely as a "pin a long, cylinder-like object to the side of a thing" part. But looking through the sets, I can see it has had other uses as well.
Ah, yes, the short R2 brick!
Kind of makes me wonder: if, in an alternate reality, it was Chopper that was around since 1999 and earlier, and R2 who was introduced 15+ years later, would R2 have just been a Chopper-brick with a couple 2x2 round plates underneath?
@Formendacil: Now you've got me imagining a version of the Original Trilogy where Chopper is Threepio's counterpart. He'd take even less of Goldenrod's attitude than Artoo did.

Especially since it's not even correct. It's a unicorn. If they said 'flying unicorn,' then it would reduce the marketing stupidity by a factor of 2.
most recent set i got it in was 77012
@StyleCounselor:
It's actually a pegacorn, which is a combination of the two. Except you can't really be _a_ pegasus, since Pegasus was a specific winged horse, but modern vernacular has turned it into a general type. As far as I know, Pegasus was unique in Greek mythology.
@NotProfessorWhymzi:
Ugh…you’re giving me flashbacks to the horrible search engines used by Best Buy and Walmart. I’ve had issues with both where I’d search for one word and get X returns, and it would suggest adding more terms to “narrow the search”. Doing so, however, would search for any product that used _any_ of those terms, so you could actually increase your number of returns a hundredfold instead of reducing them. And woe betide any fool who adds super common words like a/an/the/and/of.

Ugh. That’s like eating twigs that are also fattening.

"I would accept a bagel. Bagels are nice. That barista might still make a powerful enemy that day, but it wouldn't necessarily be me, at least, not over the bagel."

The two genders, (I, personally, identify as the former.)
