What on earth is Nnenn? Searching BL results in 3 stickered parts unrelated to rubber.

I've only just found this and all of this was before I got back into Lego but I think the second response on this site explains it:

https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/2221/common-practical-use-for-this-piece

Yes Nnenn was an AFOL and creator of the Nnenn fighter spaceships that you still find referenced in the AFOL community and most recently in the alt build in the creator space set.

Only recognised this as watched a brick haul this morning with this part in https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=Zbb015&name=Znap Beam 3, 1 Hole&category=[Znap]#T=C

Microfig ski jump?

This peaked my curiosity and I had to do some looking into it myself.

Info on the AFOL builder Nnenn: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2010/04/13/farewell-to-a-legend-mourning-the-passing-of-nate-nnenn-nielsen/

Ok, I'm going to up the ante and try a sticker sheet from a set that I think is hilarious... (set number removed from photo)... shouldn't be too hard...

it's the sticker pack for #3665

I always found it amusing that they chose Clara Cow to run the Ice Cream shop ... I suppose she has a natural advantage when sourcing her dairy products...

Astrobricks

Thanks for the Nnenn primer. I was totally unaware.

The best/worst is how Richard Scarry always drew a pig character running the meat counter in his childrens picture books about grocery stores.

A baton taken up by Pigsy in the Monkie Kid line. Cannibalism/butchery must run in the family. 

Mr_Cross

Talking of picking up the baton...

It’s a rock? :-)

@Brixfan02 it's your turn to pick :-) If you'd prefer to let someone else have your turn, please just add a line to say you're passing!

I don't really have any obscure pieces I can think of rn

Is it box of these? 8 pane windows for slotted bricks from the fifties, according to Bricklink.

I'm not really sure but it looks similar.

vizzitor

Just in case that was right, here's another part:

Yes... partly... those are a retailer box of 25 of all 3 ABB (Automatic Binding Bricks) windows and the 1 type of door.  I only recently came into possession of this very rare retailer image... and these earliest LEGO windows/doors plain boxes were purchased by Danish LEGO retailers to empty into their wooden retailer Pick-A-Brick boxes... for individual purchases, along with early (1949-56) slotted LEGO Mursten bricks.



One of over 500 new (old) images to update my online computer desktop Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide... coming out in early 2021 (updates free to current owners).  Also bringing my guide up to 2020, taking it from 2800 pages to well over 4000 pages.

This is https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=MxTool3#T=C&C=0

Not to be confused with https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=MxTool2#T=C which I nearly said!

A lucky guess searching for "tweezers"

jason1976

And next up....

vizzitor

Thought it looked like some kind of key or for switching something off and on. A search for "key" didn't find it but it's the fourth one listed searching for "switch" as part of a pneumatic switch.

How about this one that's not really ABS:

I remember finding this set pretty cool as a child
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=72490a&idColor=9#T=C&C=9
I'm probably not going to bother looking for an obscure part, so someone else can do it

Mr_Cross

Ok. Sorry, no offence meant to anyone, it's cool, but I think we need a new rule to add to the original 6 from the first post to stop the thread repeatedly dying. It's fun to identify and claim that moment of glory, but if you don't set the next part, the thread doesn't self perpetuate.

so:
7. If you are unable to post a new element, please leave the current mystery part unsolved.

No harm done, just going forward that might be better...?

@drdavewatford any possibility of that new rule being added into the first post? Not that anyone is likely to read it, but might be easier to refer to if it's there.

So then, what about this one?

I’m a huge Adventurer’s fan, and just recently scored an unopened #5956 for a pretty good deal.. the box is a bit rough but everything else is new... I was really surprised to see how expensive this piece (and set) are... currently the lowest price on BL is well over $300 US and used copies are about $130-180... 

Sorry for the diversion... back to the unusual parts!

jason1976

So then, what about this one?

I must be getting better at this - I thought that looks like a flipper, and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32008#T=C was 1 of 4 that come up!

Anyone else been getting weird errors on BL recently? Like this for example 

KungFuKenny

@Astrobricks
I’m imagining that message being read in the voice of a Dalek... I really don’t want to be “chosen as the deadlock victim” !

vizzitor

That took a while but it's a capacitor from a handful of educational sets.

I've not seen that error ^ yet and I've been going through a lot of pages of parts on Bricklink since this thread started.

So here's another part to look for:

Duplo Technic crank handle

Dropping this:

Too easy. Search 1x4 electric light.

Let’s try:

I knew it had to be Duplo but it was under Duplo Vehicle category, that threw me off!

I hope no one spends as long as I did with the last one to find this:

Quick! Post whatever parts are left from the knights kingdom constraction sets! There must be one or two left unused.

I don't know, but I love it and now I need it. TTFN!
