Looks like the sort of piece that would spark parental overreaction about demonic possession in the 1980s.
The second type of wheel Ninjago City has turned into a window.
So I go to the element page to see what sets it's been used in, and it starts out as expected, then takes a real left turn. Technic bike, Technic bike, wait, what? Ninjago City Gardens? Did not see that coming.
@Formendacil:
It's a six-pointed star. I don't see much fiction where the Star of David is used to summon demons. DC's Ragman, sure, but demons?
Still waiting for 42130 to drop to around 40% off... getting there!
Some of my kids would use these as shuriken.
What a beautiful part.
At some point someone will use this to represent a web from Spider-Man

Yes, same as Amazon when it was in stock... I think there's a little bit more to go! 44% seems to be a sweet spot.
Got it in city gardens, I absolutely love the sub theme of these modulars for their wild parts usage, like this one being a window. Other great parts usages in Ninjago city gardens include using a window insert with a pirate chest for a display case, and black pirate chest lids as a roof. I hope we get more in this sub theme of sets.

Fair, in a world of logic, but I don't think there was much logic going around in the 1980s around the demonic scare. Freaking out about the Star of David in that context actually seems almost the sort of nonsense that would have happened.

Was up for sale on Amazon for £118 back in June
@Huw it seems that, more often than not, the Random Part is something which has only been in production a year or two and is rarely something likely to crop up in significant quantities within most peoples’ collections.
To complement the Vintage Set which Huwbot picks each Saturday, how about a Vintage Part of the week? I’m not quite sure how this might be configured but perhaps there’s a way of excluding anything dating from after a specified year?
