Random part of the day: Roof 4X6X2/3

Not the most versatile piece, but good for anyone making a 4 or 6-wide car.
Most useful in, like, a city with a bunch of cars.
Or also as an oversized shield, I guess.
But Lego mainly keeps in on cars.

Looks like they used it in The Mighty Bowser 71411 on the hands, so that's interesting.

Yup. I have him sitting on my desk. They look great.
Also, it only comes in two sets in more than one colour.

You can't buy one even if you sold both kidneys. You immortal soul, on the other hand, might be enough to buy one... maybe.

Wish I had more of this piece :(

@MeisterDad:
First word that popped into my brain when I saw it on the front page was "green".

@Randomness:
I've made a lot of 6-wide cars, and I don't think I've ever used this even once (if I have, it was the roof of a literal clown car). Turned sideways, it's just too short.

Yeah, ok, maybe not cars, but for pickup trucks it could work since the sitting part is smaller enough for that.
You could also go the Flying Ford way from 4 Privet Drive 75968, and just finish it off with some extra tile bits, but that also seems a bit awkward.

@Randomness:
The one pickup truck I've built used the other 4x6 as a roof, since truck cabs have little use for aerodynamic streamlining on the back edge. And I brickbuilt the roof on my Anglia (which seats Ron, Harry, Hedwig, and Scabbers perched atop Harry's trunk).

Taxi!

Wonder if it will ever show up in green again, or if it will forever remain unique to the SDCC set.

It's still in production, so in theory could happen.

Only have a few of those, most notably the car roof in 60239 : Police Patrol Car , or the entrance roof in 31069 : Modular Family Villa

Just fits a very specific size at 4x6.
