If you wish to buy the set with which you’ll get the largest amount of new pieces that aren’t available in other sets, I’m sure you should choose 43197.

Flap with Fork??

I like this one coming right after the part it could attach to yesterday. I wonder if you just took all the random pieces we’ve had so far what you could build with them

So, this is the big flap (what I privately think of as the "tail" flap rather than the "forward-facing" flap of Anakin's Podracer and various helicopters). I have found even fewer uses for the big flap than the little one. I assume this is also the translucent variant, given the image. I don't know if I even have a transparent one, which tracks with the relatively low number owned by Brickset members. I don't think I've ever used one of these, of any variant, in something I made myself, but that might change if I owned a transparent one.

Is 565 the lowest ownership ever?

LEGO I think you got it wrong on this one.

Try as I might I couldn’t eat much of anything with this.

So a "fork" connects to a "stub." Good to know.

Also known as 'Hinge Plate 1 x 12 with Angled Sides and Tapered Ends' design 53031 appearing spectacularly in 70676 and 71300, as well as the usual helicopter 60173.

You really need the whole flap with utensil set for a good meal. Flap with spoon, flap with knife and flap with chopsticks.

Maybe if it had flapped harder, it would have arrived on time.

Well it comes in Trans Neon Green, so it's not all bad. I may even use it in a MOC someday....

This was found in lime on many of the Alien ships in Mars Mission. I wonder if their purpose was to fold out as airbrakes.
