Constraction Pieces in Modern Lego Sets

Then make a horrendous mess for everyone else to continue making the same level of quality.

Could these buildable figures herald the return of constraction???

they are the return of constraction
this is how it will be from now on, clown shoes and wacky proportions- just like the original constraction!

It’s nice to see that twenty years after Galidor, LEGO action figures still don’t have glutes.

Spider-Man’s got a muscular butt and I demand to see it.

But without our beloved pieces. And the figures they’re making aren’t even that interesting to look at. :disappointed:

from what I can tell, the shoulders actually appear to be new pieces, they’re attached by clips to the torso.

This isn’t modern (if you don’t count 2016), but I hadn’t noticed it until now and thought it was a really cool find.

Kopaka’s and Tahu’s 2015’s sword piece colored in white is present at the head of the dinosaur skeleton, in front of the cave

Neat; while constraction pieces have always managed to make their way into System sets, you don’t often see such specialized pieces do so any more.

this makes little sense but whatever

new part variant

Does it have any connectivity on the inside, or just the clips?

I don’t have the part on hand yet so I can’t say for sure

The interior’s completely smooth, no connection points unfortunately

wait a minute why did they use black axles on spider-man and red axles on venom

Remember, the coloured axles are to make it easier for kids to build. A red axle will be easier to find in a pile of black parts, and vice versa.

but surely the same could be said for any red/black parts in the sets

True, but they’re usually more prominent external pieces. A red axle in the ankle isn’t going to stick out as much as, say, a red heel plate.

and if you buy both figures you can always just switch them out

I think Lego typically considers 2L axles (and other small Technic pieces) to be “structural parts” and always make them off-colour, regardless of whether or not they’re visible in the set.
