Lego Trivia

In sorting all of my castle pieces together, I have begun to notice slight differences in pieces over the years. Why should you care? You shouldn't; but it's fun. Anyway, here are a few - feel free to mail me others.

• 1x1 cylinder brick. Used to have a solid top with the word "LEGO". Now open.
• 2x2x2 cone. The hole at top used to be open. Now it is a shallow depression. This affects the construction of e.g. Aerial Acrobats.
• Saddle. Used to have a clip on one side. Now have clips on both sides.
• 1x8 plate (and other 1x plates). The bumps on the underside used to be filled in. Now they are hollow.
• 2x2 brick (and other 2x bricks). The sides on the underside used to be of uniform thickness. Now they are ridged at the points where they are intended to nest with other pieces.
• 1x1 plate with horizontal clip. The clip used to be thin and curve inwards at the end. Now it is thick and projects straight out. This actually affects its use (particularly in the Supply Wagon) because a if it used to clip a shield to a wall, the wider clip interferes.
• 1x1 plate with loop. The loop used to be narrow. It is now as wide as the brick.
• 1x2 plate with two handles. The handles used to be at the same level as the plate, now they are slightly lower. You cannot stack a new plate on top of an old one.
