Common/Uncommon MOCing Pieces

My brother loves to take big, blocky pieces to make awesome stuff with it.

Like Mata Torsos for making a vehicle, bohrok torso pieces for titans, etc.

I like the 2006 Toa masks I thought they had a lot more detail than previous years although I do agree with the back of the head being open was abit
weird.

You don’t see many launchers in mocs or even modified launchers they add function to mocs and u never see them

People don’t use the fur shell addon much, the ones from the Chima figs. I think it’s a pretty nifty piece, but it’s mostly for animal/beast type MoCs.

I think Rahkshi heads and Metru leg armor are overused.

I think Throwbot heads and beams need to be used more, as well as Technic panels.

Basically bring back some of the old stuff. Could you imagine how well Technic panels would work with CCBS shells?

Slizer heads and original Bohrok shields are underused.

my self mocs sword, you can find it somewhere, but even I don’t know

Throwbot arms aren’t used enough, nor are the hockey figure pieces. Also, I’m surprised that most of these parts aren’t used as much:

Most of those pins and axles are used, as are some of the Technic pieces.

I’ve used the Mata limbs and the Throwbot heads/hip joints/beams in my MOCs.

Also, how would anyone use the Throwbot canisters in a MOC?

Just give your MOC a belt.

Share any pieces that you consider very useful for MOCs, but other people may not even be aware that they exist.

I’m sure people are aware they exist, but the small slick tires, are great for beefing up CCBS bones so they don’t look so spindly.

Anyone has seen those pieces before?

They are pretty useful as shoulder pads, but I don’t recall a lot of people using them.

Because their kinda hard to find, they only really came on Uplink, and some of the old hockey sets, (Where they debuted).

Not really, they are pretty cheap on Bricklink.

okay. what kind of connections do the have?


On a separate note, I once made a model I nicknamed, “The headmaster” who had major parts of his body made out of metru heads. almost all the joints but he ankles, wrists, and shoulders were made out of the heads.

I tried using them as shoulder pads on my latest MOC, but due to the connections and the shape I was going for on the torso it didn’t work.

It might work if you were going for an American Football armor style.

Some of these are common, some of these are uncommon. Either way, all of my constraction mocs boil down to these elements.

I’ve noticed that an oddly large number of my recent MOCs and other builds utilize the minifigure ring piece:

The neat thing about the piece it its unique geometry; it has the inner and outer diameters of a 1L liftarm, but with the thickness of a plate. Not only does it allow for unique spacings along axles, but it can also be used for stud-to-stud connections, since a plate is exactly twice as thick as a stud. (Though the “Lego” logo on some studs can make that an illegal connection, albeit a pretty negligible one)

Examples:


This one uses the rings in three different ways:

I just wish Lego would recolour it in a more generic colour than Chrome Gold.

Now all we need is a a double sided stud for the opposite connection.
