Octagons are certainly very good too, but I wish they'd make a Plate Hexagonal too, because as we all know, hexagons are the bestagons.
A wide variety of sets this came in. I particularly like the use in 9468 to offset the towers. It really sells the visual.
I was quite pleased to see this comes in red. Sure, it's only in 70323, but my dream of a comically-oversized "STOP" sign can still be realized! Lettering might be tricky, though...
I'm genuinely a bit surprised this part is as modern as it is, I always pegged it as older. The more you know
The helipad part.
The sign is green, but the shape says stop. I'm so confused!
Scooby likes the dark purple one.
The largest turntable! I think.
A buddy and I tried to corner the market of this piece on Bricklink once. It didn't work... at all.

Well yeah that’s eight whole corners you’d have had to work on, that’s like twice the effort of normal bricks!
Perfect...for setting up the ULFC (Ultimate Lego Fighting Championship)...just needs a 'cage'...
