In case only one Ø4.85 hole is not enough.
Lots of uses in Space Police III, including for portable flick-fire missile launchers...good stuff!
I remember this part from that Space Police III truck, with the officer on a chain hanging on for dear life and clutching a missile launcher
What happened to Wall-E?
Reminds me of when there used to be flick fire missiles in everything around the start of the 2010s. Always loved sticking these on the sides of ships to load up some play features!
Weirdest use was minifig-Zurg’s tri-blaster. With two barrels. And only one round.

These are his opera glasses.
I remember this piece from Lloyd's Jungle Raider. They acted as the lights on the vehicle.
Funnily enough I got this piece for the first time yesterday in the John Deere tractor!
Never seen this one. o.O
I used to put those in minifig hands, so that they could shoot the flick fire missiles. They were my stud shooters before the stud shooters.
Ah, the old double hole shaft. A classic.
I love this piece. I find it very useful for constraction builds to set things at odd angles.
@Garyslaw:
7593. Check what Zurg is holding.
Is there a reason it is Ø instead of a plain old numeric 0? Is it an engineering standard, a Danish thing, or just a fancy Lego tradition?

Ø = diameter. Pretty standard worldwide
