They make these parts waaaay too short in terms of extension
I have exactly zero of these.
I thought this came in other colours. Apparently not.
@Miyakan:
Oh, wow! Yeah, even Bricklink doesn’t recognize any other color variants. This is the only 11L shock absorber they have listed, and gold is the only color.
2 fairly obvious sets... Typewriter not so much!
If you look at it just right, you can see why it might be called no. 1.
Either invented for or at least used in the Afterlife Ecto 1 set. I don’t own that set nor do I have much of an interest in any sets at that price point so I only have one question; why do I feel inexplicably sad (but in a good way) during the end of Ghostbusters: Afterlife? The part where ghost Egon leaves (okay this bit is legitimately sad since he’s dead in real-life), the song after the mid-credits scene, everything. Just a great film overall but I can’t really figure out why.
Shockingly, my collection absorbed only 1 of such Shock Absorber, No. 1.
@sjr60: I had a similar reaction to this RPotD:

Just going to mention that I’m disappointed the turkey butt didn’t get picked for today. Are minifig parts excluded?
