Looks like some cave drawing of a bird’s head.
It's not on Mecabricks or Stud.io, which is really annoying as I'm trying to make a mod for the batmobile
I have never seen this piece before--I want it!
this should be used for a droideka
Never fails to amuse me how 90 degree or 45 degree angle parts only get made years after far more awkward angles have been on the market.
I have six of it, and in Dark Purple! Thanks, Monkie Kid.
And six more in black. Once again thanks to Monkie Kid.
Impressive! That part is fairly new - thanks mainly to Monkie Kids sets. Yet, there are already 53500 owned by Bricksetters. It seems like a fairly useful part, let's just hope the colour variety will increase quickly enough.
Oh man I need some of these. I bet they’re $0.60 a piece, though.
@peterlmorris:
There’s a Bricklink link at the bottom of the article. Clicking it (normally) takes you right to the catalog page, where you can find links to the various price guides. Presently, only Bestseller items are open for orders in the US, with LEGO.com reporting that the regular parts will be back online sometime this month. Until that happens, I don’t think you can see what they cost through that source.
When even such an obscure part has 54 thousand owned by Brickset members it makes me want Brick 1x1 or something similar to be the Random Part of the Day to see how millions we own.
@bigginsd:
Plate 1x2. That’s the part that was determined to be most common in sets.
I can't unsee it as a weirdly bent robot arm piece because it reminds me of the Bionicle 2007 playset minifig arms. And to a lesser extent the Exo Force robot arm. It's mainly the round tube at the end that looks like it's for a bar with clip piece.
IMHO this is one of those parts that wasn't really needed beside creating a new part for the sake of it. Although it's better than all those parts that are POOPs of small parts solely existing because they're often stacked or put in slightly larger quantities.
The LEGO Group - making limb pieces with immovable knee/elbow joints since 2001.
@BulbaNerd4000, I feel the same way, especially considering it came out a year ago. I eventually had to just make a rough mock-up of it in Bricklink Part Designer.
Arachnoid leg attachment..sounds more descriptive.
Watcher leg in the Horizon: Forbidden West set.
The silver metallic versions is excellent for greebles

I have to respectfully disagree. This 90 deg bend can give a landing gear a nice solid support to rest on (be it the body, or a wing, or what have you) rather than having to just sit vertically and hope it doesn’t rock over.
