There is a new website called New Elementary that goes in-depth about what new elements Lego is releasing and which sets they can be found in. I found out about the site way of Brickset in this news post.

Sounds pretty interesting. Very unique from lots of different LEGO websites. 
The author has several good ideas about what to do with bricks! See pictures of what he came up with so far:

I looked around the website and it looks very interesting/unique. It really does stand out from the thousands of other LEGO blogs.

Old topic, new article. Here is nice glance over some of the elements in new colors from this year's summer sets have given us between standard bricks, plates, tiles, and finally modified parts in "This season's back-to-basics".

If you happen to know anyone with a case of "Lego makes so many specialty parts nowadays" or the classic "back in the day all Lego made were plain bricks" then perhaps you should point them into the direction of this article titled "When Lego was never just bricks". I found it to be an interestingly good read.

Thanks for the good read.

Yeah thanks TOK, that was a good read.

 

Some of those parts from the early days are pretty crazy.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I missed it until now. Can't wait to give this a good read.

I still have many of those old windows and oddball doors from the early Town & Castle sets and recall how seldom they were used in any of my builds back then due to their limited usage other than being just what they were. Granted they fit the bill nicely at the time but for the most part trying to make use of them was a real pain.

All the piece types we have today are very versatile even the more unique ones. Look at how we construct doors today. You have a frame with notches allowing a universal door part to either open to the left or right towards the inside or outside. Now take that same frame and use some differently colored window panels. Check out all the layouts one can make with the tiny window frame part giving a house some character.

I just think it's amazing how far the designs for pieces, which then correlates to the set builds, has progressed over the course of many years. Each part has a specific initial use yet can do so much more than only that.

Here is an article that is somewhat of a review for next year's Creator 31028 Sea Plane but has more focus towards this fantastic new piece.

Here is an article covering how far Technic has progressed from the studded bricks of yesteryear to today's pins, axles, and panels titled "Technic(al) Matters".

A new article covering (almost) every single possible color LEGO has created and used (or not) over the decades in this very thorough color chart reference study. Sections of primary interest are the detailed timelines for certain colors and also detailed dissections for changes over time so slight who would have noticed without direct comparisons. There is even a little bit revolving around the near bankruptcy the company faced forcing them to shape up by condensing the hues and parts used almost right down the middle. It's a short read actually but the information is indispensable.

Here is a nice little article covering the new 1x3x2 inverted half arch piece.

Here is a fresh article covering a uniquely artistic new part some are dubbing 'the curlicue'.

Here is an article covering the latest addition of the fancy bow piece.

In this ongoing series of New Elementary articles, fellow Neo Spacers utilize new elements the creative Nexo Knights line has brought to the table. Here is part one.
