That One Piece: An Anthology

Recommended Posts

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.

Me several years ago:
"I'd like to give this guy a different mask..."

Later...

"I only have one mask in that color, and it's the one I have here..."

After reminiscing...

"I wish I had gotten [insert set here] when I had the chance..."  -_-

"Man, that satellite dish piece would look great on this."

"Nope. Too much."

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.

I always find myself looking for those 2- and 3-length axels and pins, even though I probably have literal hundreds of them.

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.

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.
