| | Slides - create new category titled Slide
|
Not many people objected here, but some felt the rope bridge was a problem and
wanted to see these all combined with stairs and conveyors in one category.
The problem would be titling that category. You may notice that there aren't
many (if any) part categories which have titles like Stairs, Conveyors, Bridges,
and the Like. Part categories are simple, direct, and singular. That was wise
and I'd like to keep it that way. So I'll hold off on this one, too,
for further thought and await any further comments.

Building Elements would have been my suggestion if it could be understood
in a restricted sense.
Or Large Building Elements.
| | | | Power Bursts - move to Minifigure, Utensil
|
The consensus here was a new category titled Effect. Not a bad idea, but it
seems like it would be hard to understand. Even Power Effect seems questionable,
though better. It would be great if we could come up with a title to describe
all forms of effects (waves, flames, power bolts, etc.) and group them all together
as suggested.
I thought Plasma Effect would be perfect, but Wikipedia tells me that flame is
not a plasma. So what about Plasma / Gas Effect?
|
(BURP is already in use….)
And aren’t some of them neither plasma nor gas (nor liquid) but energy? Qi/chi?
Phlogiston?
| | Still no mention of flame
in the title, though, which some wanted to see.
|
(Wow, dangerous to mix Flame with Gas Effects….)
| | Open to suggestions and am hoping
for some along these lines.
|
What about Powers and Natural Effects?
That would cover supernatural projections and simple flames and spouts/jets/waves.

What you have said does kinda make sense, but surely the naming of the set could
be a little 'clearer'?
|
Yes it could

| | Hi
I saw this on Amazon Prime, and I was instantly curious as to what the name really
means
Why is this packaged as a McDonalds set, and it has nothing to do with Quattro?
Maybe this is an item that needs to be 'sorted out'?

I did not know that the part 3062old has not been made for 50 years

On the part’s page, on the right of the picture, there’s the period the sets
in which the part appears.
The last time there was a set in which 3062old was included was 1967:
Be careful using this info for other parts though because the dates are those
of the sets. Sets that have been produced for a long time often have had their
latest runs use newer variants.
I could say it’s because the “modern” round brick is more versatile or whatever
(e.g. it can be place in the center of 4 studs) but that kind of decision often
ends up in:

For similar purposes, they made

Are you not allowed to use them now?

jpascual is talking about the Studio contest.
And 3062old is not an “active” part allowed in submissions. It’s not been produced
for more than 50 years!
