![]() Kevin Levell’s Minion goggles analysis and MOCsKevin got hold of both the 5x5 and 4x4 sizes of Minion goggle, including the Bright Red/ Red version (6313597 | 68325) found in 43179 Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Buildable Characters. As for other applications there will be lots of fun to be had, and our contributor Kevin (Levell, not the Minion) was keen to experiment… It uses the hexagonal pin connector arrangement typical of large LEGO wheels, a feature utilised in its only other appearance to date in official sets in Hidden Side 80014 Sandy's Speedboat.Įven though it is rather plain (I can’t think of another LEGO wheel that has such a large, plain edge), I should imagine that vehicle builders are nevertheless happy to receive this new wheel. The recess is 4 modules wide, meaning the ‘walls’ are once again a half-module thick, and 1 module deep (as opposed to being say 2 plates or 1 brick deep) which makes sense given this new piece falls into the Technic System. Wheel 41mm x 15mm Technic in Light Bluish Gray (Design Element 5X5X2, W/ 4.85 Hole – 6303442 | 68327) is 5 modules in diameter and 2 modules thick, i.e. Consequently his giant goggle element is larger,īut rather than being a brick, this one is a wheel!Ĭlever idea. Stuart on the other hand is one of the monocular Minions, having just The gap there is not a standard width but the more adventurous among you may find a reason to insert something like a sword piece in there. The underside also looks unusual, thanks to the undulations required to form the walls. The sides feature notches, like a regular 4x4 round brick, so that you can attach this brick to a plate. Also, the offset created when using a jumper plate is half a module so maybe there may be an interesting way to use this new round brick in combination with offset. The ‘walls’ are a half-module thick not a common measurement in LEGO parts but many of the specialist Minecraft pieces employ it. The hollow area is 3 modules wide and 2 plates deep, with 4 studs present as an internal connection plus a Technic hole for pushing out pieces you have inserted. In fact, those of you who enjoy building those upscaled LEGO bricks out of LEGO bricks could perhaps employ this new piece as a giant recessed stud? This new piece initially looks quite strange and unlike other LEGO elements but, as the name suggests, it is easiest to imagine it as a 4x4 round brick that has been recessed. The giant Kevin and Bob Minions use 2x Brick Round 4 x 4 with Recessed Centre in Medium Stone Grey/ Light Bluish Gray (6303438 | 68325) as goggles. Space is at a premium when you are building, oh, say a giant Minion robot packed with tech. There is the 3x3 plate with a curved corner (30357) which is extremely similar to this new part but that is no good if you’re adding a plate part of the way up a wall (as is required in this set), as it would project inwards. ![]() When building a wall with a curved corner using 2x2 macaroni bricks, you need to secure the curved section to the straights. ![]() The giant Minions are hollow and so you’re essentially building rounded square walls that are fairly tall. You can get 4 Black ones (6325190) in LEGO Super Mario 71369 Bowser's Castle Boss Battle Expansion Set.īut why have they made this is this a part we really needed? As is often the case with new elements, they provide necessary stability which is especially important for sets aimed at younger builders. It’s always a thrill to receive lots of a new part in a set in 75551 you get 12 in Bright Blue/ Blue (6306640) and 4 in Bright Yellow/ Yellow (6308390). ![]()
