Reminder: if you've had a "how did they do that?" moment, please
share. Even if you figured it out later and it then seemed obvious.
I'll probably learn something, at least.
Here's an easy one

What are those octagonal yellow pieces, especially the sloping
one? I haven't found them in peeron yet. Thanks.

Just after I posted I thought "hmm, I didn't try searching
for `octagonal'." That worked.
for `octagonal'." That worked.

Well, I knew they were made in other colours, but not widely available. I have some other colours too - It just seemed to me that yellow ones were much more common.TFM wrote:I have them in black, blue and tan as well.

Though, I just looked up the pieces on Peeron, and now I see I am fairly wrong - of those octagonal pieces, yellow is by far the most common, though each has several other colours available. (Straight tube pieces especially!)

Also it depends on what you collect. If you don't collect the divers stuff then you wouldn't have the yellow ones.J1A3L5 wrote:Well, I knew they were made in other colours, but not widely available.
