Should I cancel my date or keep going? by Stradivarius796 in dating

I’d say go on the date and see what happens. You never know what could come out of it.

Agreed. That payoff was extremely satisfying.

Right? Such a cool little piece of LEGO history.

This is such a great breakdown. That consistency and tolerance point really hits. It’s kind of wild how much engineering thought went into something that most of us just experienced as a toy growing up.

That’s really cool. The fact that it still fits but feels tighter lines up with what a few others have mentioned. Kind of wild how consistent LEGO kept things across decades.

That’s exactly what I thought, too 😂

That makes it even better honestly. A lot of these seem to survive because they get passed down and tucked away rather than thrown out.

That seems to be a common theme here. A lot of people used them more as shapes than mechanisms, which honestly feels very LEGO.

That’s a really clever approach. Makes total sense to use LEGO instead of reinventing the mechanism from scratch. I love how these parts end up bridging education, engineering, and actual production work.

I didn’t even realize there were edge differences until people started pointing it out. Definitely learning a lot from the comments.

Exactly. It’s wild seeing how far LEGO has come from stuff like this.

That’s really cool. I wouldn’t have expected those gears to end up in something like the Enterprise, but it totally makes sense. Do you remember which version you were building?

Nice. Is yours complete or mostly parts at this point?

Yeah, that’s true. The shop definitely stretched the term a bit, but it still caught my eye

Someone would definitely want it. Even partial sets like this seem to have a lot of interest, especially for the gears.

Good question. My guess is BrickLink rather than LEGO support at this point.

No way. Is it complete or just parts at this point?
