10 Rarest LEGO Technic Pieces of all Time

[@jliu1596]

Those shocks from the 8420 also got adjustable stiffness, which is what really caught my attention.

[@nicolocatanese3477]

I have one of those from the motorbike

[@jaredloveless]

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

The hailfire droid gear was also used in a power miners set. I remember a friend of mine having it..

[@Unbrickme]

The power miners mining station actually used a similar piece, but it was different in key ways. 1) no teeth on the inner portion, 2) the inner portion isn’t empty

Maybe a bit late but you probably mean the one from set 8709

[@DenialSefer]

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.

[@yahoo5726]

I agree.

rare doesnt mean valuable lmao

[@mrmcdonalds5396]

Thank you so much!!! Lego is the best I agree

[@Ikller-xh7qq]

Unfortunately, I have to disagree...They have high piece quality standards, but the set quality dropped massive while increasing the price...I still have tons of Lego pieces, but if I ever buy a new set, it wont be Lego. It isnt worth the money anymore...

[@Edwardify]

I have that 90° gear block. And I got it from a different set years ago.

[@grande1900]

What's funny is that my dad bought the PF droid set, and I remember looking through a ziploc that had most of the parts from that set in it, and thinking that that catch looked really weird! Now, I don't know where that bag is.

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

ya know, I finally realized what one part in my collection was for, its the body from the hockey sets, I never knew what it was for, wish I had some of the hockey sets, those tool parts and armour parts would have been good for off colour bionicle mocs, and now knowing they came with parts that act like a return to center block, those would be handy for small RC cars, wish I knew about them years ago, had a chance to get one, but did have the money for it

[@TinkeringJohn]

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.

Isn't the platinum avohkii (mask of light) from bionicle a potential candidate for this list? it has an axle connection so it should qualify right?

@@Unbrickme No problem :) It came two in a clock set (4393) in 2000. There where three other clocks with green and blue gears in it. The green gear is more common and the blue rarely goes up for sale. But for some reason I cant find the pink clock/gear anywhere.

You can too buy that shock absorver about 20$

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.
