I consider my legos more precious than my standoffs..
Question, will standoffs work as legos in a pinch? I’ve been missing this blue one since I was 9. That’s about 25 years, and I’ve moved about 10 times.
Regrettably, I haven’t come across any standoffs that make good Lego substitutes. On the bright side of using Lego pieces as standoffs, you can reclaim them later– they aren’t damaged by using them that way.
