I'd like one of these with a circle on both sides.

I would LOVE to finally see a brown bear. I think it should be a different mold than the polar bear, since they look a little different (maybe shorten the tail, make the head a little more round, with a slightly shorter neck...). Though I would be happy if it was just a brown coloured version of the polar bear.

Themes that could incorporate this:

- a new Wild West theme

- a zoo theme (sub-theme of Town)

- Castle... there could, for example, be a set with a villager guy with a pet bear (I hear that there were people that trained bears to do tricks in the Middle Ages), or some "woods" set with part of a forest and maybe a bear's hibernation cave (WOW, that sounds great!).

Other than that, I would like to see the old body armour from Classis Castle come back. As well as the halberd replace the new spear-like thing (don't know what it's called). Yes, I know this topic is about new elements, but whatever...

I would like to see more minifig tools like of the following.

Wheelbarrow

Builder's paint brush

Builder's paint scraper (can double as a chef egg flip or grill tool)

Builder's wood hand saw

Builder's metal hacksaw

Builder's chisel (could be for wood/metal/brick)

Builder's claw hammer (a bit different than the tool wheel one)

Chef's soup ladle (minifig size not the other one)

Mechanic's open end/closed end spanner

Mechanics's/Builder/Electrician Philips head screwdriver

finially a knife and fork set !

Sadly a pair of pliers in minifig may not work out so I didn't post that till this point.

Besides that to everyone reading this have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year !

Directly quoting my post in the Pirates forum:

Plates with studs on both sides!

Example:

(Sorry for the bad quality, didn´t spend too much time on the sketch.)

I´ve been wanting this piece for years. It would make SNOT so much easier, especially on small MOCs where you have very limited space. TLG should´ve maked this piece a long time ago.

We also really need an inverted 1 x 1 cheese slope! So much more useful than the 1 x 2 cheese slope which TLG actually made...

I fully agree

How would that piece make SNOT easier? Sorry, I can't see that, please explain.

[Forresto]

I would like to see a piece that was like a regular stud but flat on the top.

No really It couldn't. But guys wouldn't it be better if there was no square and it was just a short pole that had the diameter of a stud so there wouldn't be a one plate difference?

[Rijkvv]

A mix between the current train buffer beams. Now there is one with round buffers and one with square buffers and a plow. I would like to see one with square buffers but without a plow.

[RocketClone]

Id like to see a type of cell phone piece. (TLG uses the obsliete road side phone piece now )

and a new long sword piece for the upcoming kingdoms line!

[curtisrlee]

How about a SQUIRREL??!!!

[RileyC]

How about a SQUIRREL??!!!

Ha that would be pretty cool.

[Sergiu]

I would like to see a wheel with half or two thirds the width of the 94.8x44 one, but with the same height.

[Holodoc]

I didn't read the whole thread , but I hope this wasn't suggested before:

We've seen the new "half-arches" in the new Grand Emporium (right under the ceiling there are a lot of those new bricks used).

I love those, but they also drove me to the idea to aks for another kind of arch:

We already have roman arches like this one:

Wouldn't it be great to have gothic arches as well?

You know, not a rounded arch, but one with a pointed bow.

Like this:

I posted that in the pirates thread, but they weren't too excited.

Yes!

(The pic is just a "x", but I know what you mean.

[Fugazi]

A few more suggestions:

1x1 round tile (already mentioned in the Pirates thread)

realistic city bus doors (2-piece doors)

rubber piece to make articulated (bendy) buses

[escortmad79]

Double sided plates

Double sided thin plates

Decent LED Light bricks (Both Top & side facing bulbs)

4x4 tiles

Gothic arches would be fantasic

Decent new female torso with curves

A new Female skirt piece

New hair pieces

Inverted arches

These bricks with the clip at a 45 degree angle

These but with side studs on sides next to each other instead of opposite.

Those with the steps going the other way (Ideal for making Routemaster buses)

6 wide versions of these

These 2x2 for use with 2x2 macaroni bricks

[Holodoc]

What I meant was this:

I hope the pic is now viewable...

Double sided plates

Double sided thin plates

Could you explain what the difference is?

Or did you mean double sided bricks instead of the first item?

I wouldn't like 4x4 tiles. I'm even not fond of the new 2x4 tiles.

Something you can also build with existing tiles. May it be 2x 1x4 tiles or 2x 2x2 tiles. I don't really see a need for this.

[escortmad79]

I mean plate thickness for the first & ultra thin version for the other so it's seemless without the need to have a plate width between them

Yeah, he probably meant bricks. Or he meant 2 x X on the first one and 1 x X in the second.

Seconded. We don´t need any bigger tiles. However, the new 1 x 3 tile is warmly welcome.

[escortmad79]

Thought of a few others:

One of those 1 brick wide

Plus a few more dog designs (One with its head down & I know it'll NEVER happen from TLG but one cocking its leg!)

[escortmad79]

Set of 1x1 minifig roller skates (Might be difficult & fiddly to get 2 sets of small wheels on a 1x1 plate though)

[Legorski]

A great new brick would be a simple 1x5, and 2x5 brick. Plates like so would also be great. I have had so many builds where a 1x5 plate would have been more useful then using 1x2 and 1x3 plates together. TLC get to it! XD

I normally agree with you on this, but tiles in general are often used for stickers and you can put bigger stickers on 2x4 tiles without having a sticker covering multiple parts. The 2x4 tile would have been useful with, for example, the mirror stickers in 8880 or the "1" stickers in 8458.

Of course, it would be better if TLG instead just made more printed parts again.
