May 30, 200915 yr its very funny how did you make those 1x1 round plates support such a heavy minifigure?
May 31, 200915 yr Author Thanks everyone! its very funny how did you make those 1x1 round plates support such a heavy minifigure? What do you mean? The clear 1x1 plates?well they just hold on, the fig isn't that heavy.
May 31, 200915 yr The dewback looks like its trying to break dance! That is what I thought too I really like it.
May 31, 200915 yr What do you mean? The clear 1x1 plates?well they just hold on, the fig isn't that heavy. ok because all of my fig feet and 1x1 stud pieces are loose
May 31, 200915 yr ok because all of my fig feet and 1x1 stud pieces are loose Are you using the trans 1x1 round plates? They're made from a different plastic than the regular colours and they're much harder to connect and take apart. Which should allow a construction such as this to work almost 99% of the time. (I know this because I've been pestering all the official LEGO Reps I've ever met to make a trans-clear minifig for the masses, but it's not doable because of the harder plastic mix used for trans colours ).
May 31, 200915 yr Great MOC, made me laugh. I never really understood that whole thing about why certain colours of bricks are more liable to lose grip after a while, and why some grip better than others right off the assembly line.
June 2, 200915 yr They're made from a different plastic than the regular colours and they're much harder to connect and take apart. They're made of polycarbonate instead of ABS. (I know this because I've been pestering all the official LEGO Reps I've ever met to make a trans-clear minifig for the masses, but it's not doable because of the harder plastic mix used for trans colours ). It's not the moulding process that's the problem, but the robot that assembles the arms/torsos and legs/waists. Polycarbonate plastic is more brittle and would be less forgiving to the pressure used to insert the limbs into the body pieces.

You sound exactly like the factory worker that eplained this to me at some point in Billund.
June 2, 200915 yr So I guess we'll never see a "ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi" Minifig. Nope Not until they solve the problem

June 3, 200915 yr You sound exactly like the factory worker that eplained this to me at some point in Billund. It's because I am a LEGO assembly robot.
