Random part of the day: Plate 1X1, W/ 1.5 Plate 1X1, Upwards

This is a cool sub system for the snot connections they have, I always like to see when they have one of these with the inverted version under it

Despite occurring over 500 times, this piece is way more than ten cents on average. LEGO must love this piece for being so upwardly mobile.

Can they make a smaller bracket? I think, if they try, they could maybe make it part of the round-plate family rather than the standard, square plate family. Otherwise... gonna be hard!

When I pulled up the site right around when it usually posts, I got a Cloudflare page instead. That usually means this site has crashed, so I think it was down right when the trigger event should have happened. As I noted on yesterday’s RSotD, I submitted a report.

Good question.

@Huw where did random set of the day go?"

It comes out after random part. Wait a bit

@Sandinista:
Yup, one hour after. It’s been three.

Well let's just pick our own random set of the day, I nominate 8577

And the winner for smallest part with the longest name is...

There are several RPOTDs with longer names, and a few that are smaller parts, but this may be the most extreme of the handful that are both (there were also two days with tile-clips, and a 1x1 round plate that had similar name lengths).

People: Lego sux because it uses all these specialised parts these days

Lego builders: yes

Starro the Conqueror has about 1500pcs, and there have to be at least 20 of these in each arm. Brackets might be the coolest category of parts they make.

"LEGO sure has gone all-in on the SNOT pieces over the past few years, with all the different iterations of this type of bracket design. It's hard to believe it's the same system as 40 years ago sometimes..."

Functionally, this isn't really much different from the headlight brick, which is more than 40 years old. Yeah, we have a lot of new parts... but they all still work with all the other System parts.

@560heliport:
Functionally, they are _VERY_ different, though they can accomplish geometrically similar things. SNOT on headlight bricks sits flush with the top of the brick, where it’s at the bottom for up-brackets. Headlights can sit recessed or flush, depending on which way you orient them, or you can add a plate to match the front of this (stack this on top, and you’ve got a 1x2 “plate” embedded in the wall). I’ve used a headlight brick, a 1x1 plate, and a cheese wedge to make a 1x2 inverted 45 slope that also has a place to attach an actual headlight on a car, and I’ve used this bracket in several instances where there simply isn’t room for something as bulky as a headlight brick, like all over those Starro arms, and on the front of a Good Humor ice cream bicycle. Both parts are uniquely indispensable for people who build complicated SNOT.
