Is it a magic circle?
If I'm ever building a life-size LEGO house, I'm using this piece as the kitchen sink drain.
Aka, a disc brake rotor
This is our third 2022 piece in a row
Front disc brake for the BMW motorcycle. It comes with two, one for each side of the front wheel. That’s the first time I’ve seen a wheel that has two brakes.
I thought for a moment that this was the piece from Monster Fighters that Lord Vampyre used for the Moonstones. The lore is pretty neat from what’s included (I believe) in the LEGO Book.
Seriously, LEGO, it's time to release a UFO-line again!
Me like
No. 1 was in the Panigale and Ninjago Gardens. Huh.
Sometimes takes a while for No. 2 to come out.
@MeisterDad:
Wow. Took all of half an hour to prove @MCLegoboy right.
I saw this and thought, "WTF is this piece?! I bet it's only used in one set."
Sure enough, yes...and seeing the set made it really obvious what it's used for. All questions answered.
Sure he's 'cross'...he might just be miffed:)
If Lego had just put 6 holds around the outside edge at the join with the disc then this part could have had dozens of uses from playground merry go-round to horizontal support in a hexagonal tower block.
Scrolled a bit too fast and really thought this was the window for the Sanctum Sanctorum for a minute then
@PurpleDave More like inspired by; I live with 4 sons so it is unavoidable. Not that it was a terrific strain, mind you.
