LEGO® Toggle Joints

Description

Joints you can restock

Like other service packs, this one is meant for builders who need a particular kind of part in some quantity. The name points to knee-style joints, connections that bend and straighten again. In total there are 66 pieces from 1987, split across seven different types. No instructions for a finished model are included, and there are no minifigures either. It works as a small toolbox for Technic projects in which something has to fold, flap or swing.

Light grey and black

The palette is restrained, with light grey and black leading, as was typical for Technic of the period. That suits machines, cranes and vehicles meant to look technical rather than playful. Seven part types keep the selection compact, and the parts list on this page shows exactly which joints and connectors you receive. It is a quick way to check whether the pack matches an older set you want to repair or extend, without having to dig through boxes of loose parts.

What you can make with them

Joints are the heart of excavator arms, loading ramps, grabbers and robot legs. If you are planning a moving model, more than sixty pieces let you use several joints in different places at once. A stock like this is also handy for testing lever mechanisms, because you do not need to take another set apart for every experiment. On Bricoria, the What Can I Build page shows which models these parts and the rest of your collection could produce together.

For collectors and tinkerers

The pack will interest anyone keeping eighties Technic alive or rebuilding it. Service-pack collectors get a small, easy-to-catalogue item. If you only want a finished model to put on a shelf, other sets will serve you better. When you own the pack, add it to your collection so that later projects start with the knowledge that suitable joints are already in your spare parts, and you can skip the search through the box when a bend is missing.
