LEGOLAND non-production parts

[jonwil]

Looking over that flickr account makes me so jealous...

I am especially jealous over the clips with stud (I have so many uses for those in so many MOCs), the yellow octagonal cross pieces, the trans-yellow whip antennae and of course all the other cool trans parts he has acquired :)

Those pneumatic cylinders are brilliant! Why did they get made?

As transparent colors are another kind of plastic, that may also for testing purpose (either test the mold or test how the part behalves)

Maybe, though I was under the impression that most Technic parts are polycarbonate (the material used for transparent parts) whether they're transparent or not. Don't know whether that'd be the case with these.

Not my picture, but I just bought the brick. I've never seen a marbled Duplo 2x4 before :)

Fancy! I love the colors—it looks almost like a 2x4-shaped globe!

Planet Duplo!

While wanting to buy from B&P a second pair of bright light blue minifig pants, I discover that the part was actually not in any set.

I got this fig from a "build a minifig" station in a Lego Store:

The hair is obviously from the Lego Movie figs, the torso from the ice skater collectable fig,

As these legs existed in printed version for Lego Movie figs, I guess that's their origin, they must have had an unprinted extra remaining stock they got rid via the Stores.

Those are so awesome.

By the way, there is also this test-run minifig somewhere in a drawer at Billund (photo from Derek)

Looks like a Nexo Knight!

Oh, those trans-purple plates are gorgeous...

Hey guys - i dont know much about q parts/ prototypes and their availiability - but is that a BEAR in this Set? If you zoom in at the little hut entrance - does anyone know if that thing has ever made it out for sale?

Well I know a bear was made for some "city" sets a few years back. Actually it was for a sub theme (like Forest). Not to mention the bears that came out of the Friends sets.

Well a few years, speaking of how many? This here was 40 years ago...that might be the first minifig related bear they ever made perhaps....

You're probably thinking of Forest police where 2 sets contained what bricklink calls "Bear with 2 Studs on Back and Dark Tan Muzzle Pattern".

Their was also a set that had a polar bear, you got a link to that.  

[Artanis I]

That's from @30 years ago, not quite 40. It looks like it could be a bear or oversized wolf (like a warg I suppose). Good spot!

[Digger of Bricks]

Do you know @whitswj perhaps what this canopy might have been designed in mind for? It sort of reminds me of part no. 47757 first introduced in 2006.

By the way @1974, do you perhaps know what this particular minifigure head might have been made for? Is there a year molded on to it for possible deduction of its usage?

Spoiler

 

Also, do you know anything or at least have any good guesses about this one green helmet part on the bottom left corner of this below posted picture? To me, its design seems to suggest like Lego was toying with a sort of space knights theme back then, kind of like a Nexo Knights of the 1990's.

I have no idea. All I know is that it was developed/ made in the late 90's. For me, it will be  in a space miners MOC based on the collectible minifigure series. 

That sure sounds cool, I really would like to see that! I've seen a few of your creations that make usage of that unreleased Trans-yellow version of part no. 45705, which is definitely a part I am quite envious of!  Unless it was merely just a test part, I do wonder what that recolor would have been used for.

I'm guessing Aquazone, it's remarkably similar to these:

 

And the trans red head looks familiar, coincidentally (or not) on an Aquazone body

perhaps - the greenish eyes irritate me of being 100% on a bear, but that might also be reflections and bad pixelation from the quality. I'll do a sketch based on the outlinings and see how it looks. I really wonder where that picture came from - someone must know something...

Yes, it definitely reminded me of that piece; but still, it's rather unusual. To me, it looks something like a space Spartan helmet. It would help to know if it has dimples on the sides to clip a visor on, and what was that clip on the top of the mold intended for?

The first Lego Bear that was actually available would be the 2000 Polar bear, which looks similar to what (tiny bit) we can see in the old mine.
