Starting to wish a part like this existed. Would be so helpful for small articulated builds. (Something I moc'd up in paint.net)

Yep, that or a friction pin place of of the bar.

I can't tell how that's different from the 1L bar with clip, is it axle-sized instead?

3484 bar 1L with clip

I think we're talking about a bar and/or pin with this on the end, the "holder" for towballs.

The counter to e.g. the towball pin.

I think some alternative brands have that part (towball socket with pin), I did buy some of those a while ago.

Cada has it but they don't sell it separate.

Some interesting parts & colors since I last posted a list here. For instance, the liftarms joints are not color locked to lbg+dbg any more and had been recolored to red+dark red to match the dragon. And we have green and pink knob gears too thanks to the botanical sets. Makes me wonder why axles and pins can't be made to match the sets color scheme too?

So that beginners can build the sets without paying much attention. Personally I think the sacrifice is well worth it.

Looks like an upcoming Botanical polybag will be including two of the Daytona differential ring gears!

Those should match up nicely with all the surplus pinion gears from the 42168 John Deere Forage Harvester, to make the whole assembly cheaper to acquire

It was about time to include them somewhere else except hypercars. IMHO they better suit heavy machinery than cars, but...

...I know Deere 948 also had them...

[lcvisser]

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but it appears that 76328 Batman Batmobile is bringing back the 62.4x20 wheels with LBG rims.

So this is why they made them yellow... 

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Can someone share the Studio file of this mudguard in Studio? Currently only the printed version of this part is available in Studio.

[Thirdwigg]

I would like it too. I'm still surprised a non-printed version is still outstanding.

Also, while we are making requests, does anyone have Part 5713?

With 7 lego ball and any kind of dish, vespa 125 wheel can act as ball bearing.

Wow, amazing find!

Bit hard to tell but are those new parts on that black handlebar piece on the front of that boat. They don't appear to be the 1x1 round studs with holes in them.

No, those are part of the the rubber wire/hose piece that's stretched around the edge (in Technic they've been used as barrier wires in the Car Transporter from 2019.

Hello,

I guess as soon the new 12t spur gear came, people did try it with chain links, as the 16t spur gear was working well with them, but the 8t spur gear not at all.

Are the chain link working well with it ?

I have a 12t / 24t combinaison in head, with 2.5 holes between the middle of axles.

From my experience, they work with the chain but have a little less grip on it than larger gears, so that the chain will be more prone to skipping teeth if not tensioned well. Also, for some reason, 20t spur gear also has considerably weaker grip on the chain than 24 or 16.

Lots of new Technic parts have been added to Pick a Brick. New Technic molds are outrageously expensive though...

I've just looked and yes the new moulds are all ridiculously priced, except for the new perpendicular link which I've just ordered. 

I'm amazed and relieved that some parts have reduced in price! These F1 steering arms were £2.17 and are now £0.65 - that's 70% cheaper!
