aldero Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We've all built a MOC, right? It's fun, it's relaxing, it's enjoyable and it really flexes your creative and technical muscles. But, unfortunately, more often than not, we're missing one little axle that we need one more of to seal off this custom torso, one technic beam to connect two separate parts of a building, one irritating pipe piece that would be the cherry on top of your MOC but you never got your hands on, or, by Mata Nui, THAT. ONE. Hollow stud that would look perfect on this section of greballing* but you don't have. So, yeah. It can always be the little, minuscule things that can kill you and since this a collection of all those annoying instances of condescending denial, I would like to know what killed you in that regard.

Nescent Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It's always this piece that gets me: I use it in like every MOC I ever build, and I only own two of them. And they're usually already being used by a different creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralcax Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I will never have enough of these guys: Mostly because the sea dragon I made a couple years back uses like ten of them but he's just too dang cool to cannibalize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petewa Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 For me, "THAT ONE PIECE" is always either a mask, or some piece that I actually have plenty of, but have used so many in the MOC of question, that I am out, but still need more.

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 isn't there an anime about a guy with this problem? o: (also for me it's always always ALWAYS a tiny technic but in some obscure shape i never new i needed until that moment, oops. :0 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I usually find myself needing a one-stud-long axle. It'd be very easy to get them stuck in irretrievable places if you didn't know what you were doing with them, but I've built so many bizarre small-scale stuff in recent years that I've been in need of one more often than you'd think.

Arzaki Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I always find myself looking for those 2- and 3-length axels and pins, even though I probably have literal hundreds of them. 2 Quote I got Monster Hunter World on PS4, add me at bmrjw2 if you want Also I play FFXIV, my main is Anastasia Willow on Exodus but I've got characters on every NA datacenter.

ksprice45 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I ALWAYS need more black ball joints, and half axle-half pin pieces in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Isn't CCBS composed almost entirely of black ball joint pieces? I have so many of them...Pretty sure they were referring specifically to THIS part, not just any ball joint that's attached to a bone. While G2 Bionicle has indeed used a lot of that piece thanks to the figures' geared arms, most earlier CCBS sets did not, opting for basic bone elements instead.

Arzaki Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) I thought he was referring to either those piece that used to act as hands on G1 Bionicles or the sphere pieces that were on the Matas' chests, like the one Lyichir posted.
