It came from a Harry Potter Lego Advent Calendar. My kids didn’t build them right away, and squirrelled them away until recently.
Damn thing drew blood.
Ah yes, the 39262 minifigure crown, also used as a flower.
Just 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.
I think it’s almost a matter of reverse engineering the info.
OP said the set.
Rebrickable > search > input op’s set > parts list
Also used as a caltrop too apparently.
Can I buy a bag of these to deter alley cats from using the fire escape as a highway?
Wow, Joanne just really hates everybody, doesn’t she?
Looks like the piece also got damaged in the process
Which piece? My heel? Because yeah.
Judging by the pattern of stressed plastic, you maximised your pain - Well done.
Yep. I was going to comment that LEGO is made out of amazingly hard plastic, but this one has clearly suffered the consequences.
I stepped on a thumbtack yesterday and this somehow looks like it would be less comfortable
I thought this was the worst until i stepped on a Barbie high heel. Basically a needle
I legitimately collapsed to the floor after stepping on a D4. It drew blood & I’ve been afraid to use it since.
Type G (British) electrical plugs. Childhood trauma right there.
Ah yes, the Lego caltrop.
every lego is a caltrop
That’s gnarly. I assume the Harry Potter calendar mimics the traditional advent week 2, where Mary and Joseph throw caltrops from Mule back as they flee the evil census takers on their way to start a new life in Bethlehem.
How you holding up?
My condolences
Ouch!!!
That is a thing of pure evil.
Fun for all ages! /s
You monster hurt that poor LEGO part!
As a parent two sons who have moved on from the Lego stage to the driving and girls stage…
Bahahahahahahahahahaha!!!.
No more shuffle walking around the house for me!!
Big Lego is trying to kill parents that buy these sets. Know the dangers when you see them!
