Comment on My foot found the worst Lego that can be stepped on.
frosch@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoJust some weeks ago, I talked with a friend about how in every Post about Lego, someone just fucking steps into the comments and knows the exact ID of some obscure piece or set shown.
And now I see your comment 👏

In this case, I knew it because of a “botanicals” set that I assembled recently.
Those sets use a lot of pieces in creative ways, often in unusual colors. In particularly obscure cases, like this crown or the rose petals that were originally from a car fender, the manual will include a brief trivia callout.
I remembered the callout, and that was enough to find it by keyword on the fan database sites.
