TobyMac (on Rebrickable) has created a list showing all 73 new LEGO® elements added in November 2021, with links to which sets they come in so you can check for the ones you might be interested in. We delayed the list a few days this month to include all the new elements in 10294 Titanic!
There are some interesting new elements catching the team's eyes:
- Caz is happy with the recolour of the Masonry Brick to Reddish Brown (6361793|98283). Set 21330 Home Alone gets you 143 of them.
- Eero loves the door with cat flap from the same set, while Tim is obsessed by the large macaroni tile with train track print.
- Kev Levell calls the Wheel Fork with 2 x 2 Plate (6338470|77598) 'greeble-tastic', and Aron can't wait to use it in robots and mechas.
- We haven't seen a Trans-Clear Engine Cylinder since 2006. We've listed the new one (6353017|79190) as a recolour because in 2011, TLG updated the mould:
We have split the list into 3 major groups:
- New Moulds - Elements that are new shapes (or existing ones that have been amended in some way).
- Recolours - Existing elements that have been colour-changed.
- New Prints - Elements that have a never-before-seen printed decoration. Note, if a new printed is also a New Mould or a Recolour, it will appear in those groups rather than in New Prints.
Within each of the groupings, we divide elements by their category.

Can anybody explain the change made to the flag 2x2 trapezoid? I usually assume any element with clips that gets a mold re-design is because of said clips, but they look the same to me.
ReplyDeleteThe clips are indeed different. I could swear I added a comparison photo to RB, but looks like I forgot.
DeleteThat was the 4x6 flag. I don't have the new trapezoid version in yet.
DeleteThere are already various moulds of that part with indeed different clips but also different finish (smooth vs grainy - which makes a big diff on transparent ones), maybe they introduced yet another one, or maybe black hadn't been done in the latest version yet.
DeleteI have two on the shelf next to me used in a small spaceship moc, and they are slightly different from each other, I never noticed!
DeleteFrom the rendering it looks like the clips are again different from the ones I have.
At the edge of the flag in between the clips, the flag is actually a touch thicker. Like the fillet from where the outer diameter surface of the clips meets the flat flag surface, the rendering is shaded as if that fillet continues across the flat from clip to clip.
The depth of the "throat" is a bit shallower too. So if you have the flag clipped to a bar, and then try to clip something else to the middle portion.
A part update that I only just recently became aware of is how 44865 (the newest version of the 1x2 brick with Technic pin) has a center anti-stud (like the current version of the jumper plate) instead of a center tube. That change seems to have only been made this year, with it appearing in some of last year's sets as an alternate as well. It's interesting to see a change like that to such an old part, but it's a good change, even if it only slightly impacts the part's connectivity by allowing solid studs to attach to the center instead of just hollow studs.
ReplyDeleteYeah, funny how Lego was so proud of having invented the mighty tubes, while they're slowly getting rid of them (side notches are so much better). They only make sense for 2x2 & above.
DeleteThe appearance of the new curved piece from the Fender in white means that all we need is the large curved slope thing in white and we can build the Fender with a white body...
ReplyDeleteWhy does Bricklink take so long to register new pieces? I've been waiting to buy Brick Curved 2 x 1 in black from the Fender set for over a month now.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand, Bricklink only adds an inventory and parts when the submitter has the set in hand and can manually check every part.
DeleteRebrickable, Brickset and BrickOwl get take their information from Brick&Pieces. In case of Rebrickable, I have a Python script that does an extra check, comparing the digital pdf instructions against the information from Brick&Pieces, as there are a number of type of parts that are not listed on B&P, like most Ninjago minifig parts, and a lot of Collectible Minifig parts. The recent wave of VIDIO sets were a pain to work through.
Both methods have their pros and cons.
Aren't BrickLink users often listing unregistered stock under alternative headings, though? Although it might not always be a user-friendly option for prospective buyers...
DeleteThose new parts are generally better bought on Bricks&Pieces at first anyway. For once those curved bricks aren't too expensive there.
DeleteI am embarrassed to say I didn't know Bricks & Pieces was a way to get new pieces until now. In my defense I thought the online Pick a Brick store was LEGO.com's only way to get individual pieces. B&P interface also seems like it's designed for kids that have lost pieces. TLG is confusing sometimes... Thanks y'all!
DeleteB&P is confusing, although German Lego Fan BrickTwo has programmed an add-on for simplifying things.

@Hakan S Thank you! I'm going to give that a try. The lack of a reasonable search function in Bricks & Pieces makes it so cumbersome to use.
DeleteBut it looks like that add-on fixes that and makes it much better with teh ability to search by category or color!
Love that AFOL ingenuity! Thanks Hakan
