mahjqa Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 This should improve the construction options quite a bit. Quote
jonwil Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I got the same piece (with the tubes) in black in the copy of the Horse Trailer set I bought the other day. Quote
Etzel Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 That part has been available since 2008, and in seven different colours Slope, Curved 2 x 4 x 2/3 No Studs on Bricklink Quote
Rick Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 That part has been available since 2008, and in seven different colours My initial thought as well, but the new version has tubes on the bottom. Quote
Etzel Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 My initial thought as well, but the new version has tubes on the bottom. And the old one didn't? Wierd In that case I don't see how this new version should improve the construction options very much. Some new options will be available but some will disappear. Quote
Superkalle Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I agree Etzel, it does limit construction somewhat but I guess Lego reasons that more tubes = better friction I was actually quite surprised when the old design (without tubes) came out since it was odd that a new piece from Lego had no tubes. Apperamty they made a poor judgement back then since tubes have now been added. Anyway, the new piece has been around for some time. According to Bricklink since Emerald Night (not to sure about that though), but it I think it has been phased in during late 2009. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=88930 (BTW: see you soon Etzel....on the road to Billund, sweet!)

(I just checked. ) Overall I prefer the tubes being there. Quote
prateek Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Nice! Finally Lego comes to their senses about one piece. Quote
swahiliboy Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Nice! Finally Lego comes to their senses about one piece. Agreed. Quote

Just checked my Emerald Night, the green ones are the old ones but the black ones on the smokebox are the new ones with the tubes Quote
Siegfried Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 Just checked my Emerald Night, the green ones are the old ones but the black ones on the smokebox are the new ones with the tubes Mine are all the old type! Was yours a pre-order? Quote
