I’ve been working on some videos about constraction parts, I might post those here when they’re done but for now enjoy the most insane thing I discovered during my research:
Reminds me of how standard friction pin-axles are Bionicle pieces too
The frictionless ones have existed since technic began, but the ones with friction, which famously only come in blue now, debuted with the Bohrok Va! Then they later showed up in all the Nuva that same year, as well as Exo-Toa and the Bahrag. In fact, the only non Bionicle appearances in its introductory year were two Racers sets and the Spybotics stuff, all of which released in August
I found a similar situation with this particular technic connector
I’m not sure how to categorize the pieces in these situations, it’s a little ambiguous…
Yeah, this is one of those pieces that found a niche outside of CCBS.
This reminds me of how the smooth Technic panels that appear in pretty much every Technic set nowadays not only debuted in Bionicle (in the 2008 Vehicle sets), but were originally designed specifically for the theme.
How do you mean?
figuring out which theme’s new parts budget they were created under
