May 9, 20159 yr I too have used the bar in the back of a tow ball trick to better secure them. The differences between the different towballs is interesting and something I have seen for years, but never thought to comment on. v/r Andy
May 11, 20159 yr I think the new towballs have the larger hole, so that TLG standarized all pieces which allow bars to be inserted,
May 25, 20159 yr pretty big news here for MOCers!....part # 57519 is now...or soon will be avialable in BLUE!! 4 of them are coming in Ninjago set # 70731...as seen in this video, skip to 5:50: could this part be used in the upcoming crawler crane?...42042? Edited May 25, 20159 yr by Richard Dower
May 29, 20159 yr Was I the only one who didn't know of the existence of two variants of the Axle 5.5 With Stop? One is slightly longer on the long leg than the other, and you really only see the difference if you have two of them side-by-side. According to the LDraw file header for the longer part, it's 2LDU longer, which, given a stud is 20LDU, should mean it should be called Axle 5.6 With Stop, no? :-) I did have a look around various places on the Internet, but I couldn't find any info about it. Does anybody know the reason for the change? Is it even a change or are there two molds in use concurrently?
May 29, 20159 yr I have found 5.5 axle has different ends - squared (edgy) vs. rounded shape. Is it related to their length?
May 29, 20159 yr given a stud is 20LDU, should mean it should be called Axle 5.6 With Stop, no?Actually the older, shorter version (initially a Znap part) should have been called Axle 5.4! And yes, afaik length is related to shape (rounded or not)

July 5, 20159 yr http://www.marktplaa...previousPage=lr# I would like to know what part this is and what is it used for? The part off to the left is a Midak Sky Blaster, BL part 60932cx1. The other parts are Cordak Blasters, BL number 57523c01 Both parts are from Bionicle sets, and are designed to be self contained shooters. The Midak Skyblaster can hold four zamor spheres, and fire them in succession. The cordak blaster is fired pneumatically, and it uses unique rockets. As the plunger is pressed, it automatically indexes to the next round like a revolver.
July 6, 20159 yr this set has a couple of new technic elements in new colours, as in pearl gold: http://brickset.com/sets/41077-1/Aira-s-Pegasus-Sleigh
August 4, 20159 yr Just bought a couple of these as they were brand new and cheap , having a heck of a time finding the metal hooks used on 8285/8258 at a reasonable price....so i decided to buy these as an alternative....hoping they look nice and work out......

BRICKLINK @ LESS THAN 1EUR Subtle enough for ya?
August 4, 20159 yr Subtle enough for ya? I think he was talking about large metal hook: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&colorID=11&itemID=262&sz=10&searchSort=P It is 15USD minimum.
August 4, 20159 yr The metal Technic hook is that expensive? Wow... I have at least three of them - they were very common in 1990s Technic sets.
August 4, 20159 yr I have a couple of parts queries... hopefully this is the right place to post them.... PF Extension cables I have extended the chassis on my 8258 in order to get a decent load bed on it, but in doing so I need to extend the motor cabling. Can anyone tell me if extensions like this one are available in shorter lengths? I only actually need the same as the cable on a PF switch (15cm?) and 50cm is a lot of cable to lose! I have presiously bought the right sort of length extensions (advertised as for trains) but they are black, and don't have the switched interface on the back two studs... Pneumatic Hoses I have also finally managed to extract my original 8854 set back into my possesion, but the original hoses are a bit shot. I need to replace them, and the newer silicone hoses seem ideal. Can anyone suggest somewhere to buy long lengths of the correct hose that I can then cut to length as apporiate? Thanks in advance Mark

I have bought penumatic hoses here: http://www.blokbrick...s/en-us/d2.html They resemble more of the pre-42043 hoses but they are still easy to work with.
August 5, 20159 yr Grand! Thank you. Duely ordered, along with some string! Ta Edited August 5, 20159 yr by volks_womble
