  • Today, I present you with my list of the rarest lego technic pieces of all time! These range all the way from weird 90 degree gear sets, to an actual proper ring gear! I wish that more of these, specifically the ring gear, would appear in upcoming LEGO Technic 2021 sets.

      So I guess without this larger shock absorber you have to connect more than one smaller shock absorber together?

    Your definition of rare seems to vary. Some of the parts you mention can be bought for a couple of euros on Bricklink, and even the 'rare' sets they are from go for 20-30 euros on Bricklink. To me, those are 'limited' pieces and sets, 'rare' would mean they are highly sought after and thus carry a hefty price tag.

    I wished Lego would come out with either a 32 or 44 tooth ring gear with matching carrier for 3 planetary gears. With a 32 tooth ring gear, you can use a 16t gear for the sun gear and 8t gears for the planetary ones. With a 44 tooth ring gear, you can use a 20t gear for the sun and 12t for the planetary gears. They would be perfect for making a model of an industrial robot arm. I may try to 3D print some.

    I own a few of these. I bought the dump truck with the red connector blocks in it. Not sure if its the exact same ones but I do own a set of silver wheels like that from the 8466 4x4 Off-Roader (which is also one of 2 sets to include parts in Metallic Green, an awesome color that I wish LEGO had used more of). I don't own the gear shift from the 8880 but I do own the rare light grey steering wheel that is also exclusive to that set. And I own both the Battle Droid and Destroyer Droid with those rare changeover catch parts.

    I actually have the record and play set still. I tried it the other day and it actually Works. Unfortunately most of it is all mixed up with my other legos

      Same here! Mine still works too! The record block could be interesting to use in a moc to loop 3 motors continously

    Bringing back metallic wheels I feel would also bump up the prices for sets

    I have a couple pieces which are harder to find than most of these. they are just normal pieces, the cross block 1x3, but miss-molded so the axle hole is rotated by a few degrees so it creates out-of-system connections.

      Protypes, unreleased and misprints should not be included, because they weren't available to the public at the time or a mistake in molding.

    i don't like those gear blocks, the first time I saw them was in a used 4859 Motion Power set, which we salvaged from a larger lot of star wars and architecture sets, got the helicopter all put together, with fresh batteries, turned it on, and it just wouldn't work, the motor was trying, but there was too much friction in too long of a gear train
