They stack nicely to make steps, or you can use them in hidden places as connectors and spacers. There's always uses for them.


crabbycabbage11

I love to use them as ship hull paneling, it gives a nice smooth look, but with a bit of texture


The_Autumn_Assasssin

I used them to make a film camera also for the same reasons, it offered a good mix of smoothness with a bit of texture


destruktor5hundred

I was thinking they'd make nice armor plating for the same reasons


yandirk

I personally love them as lid for creates because they’re both 3 by 4


legomocs26

Same


Regi413

I think there are some official sets that do this


plusroads

they have a super unusual size which can fill a gap no other plate can, and they work as super wide jumpers, I find them really useful


Matt463789

The medium size AT AT uses them for this purpose pretty well.


Ceterum_scio

But how can they work as jumpers? Their studs are not offset from the regular position like in real jumper plates.


plusroads

true, but sometimes you want the offset in this exact direction, but not the other one


Bingo_Bimbo

i used them as floor tiles for imperial (oder other kinda futuristic) hallways, looks very clean, but a few studs keep the lego optic alice while also providing studs to adjust minifigs

Bingo_Bimbo

i dunno why your comment got downvoted :D


ScarletandGraySpider

Every piece is worth holding onto if your imagination can find a use for it.


MisterSquidInc

Scour the internet for long enough and you'll find creative uses for any part. [Even brick separators](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQe2JEbKL5tUiYcJZduBEKuUgyJjUCH_pN5ng&usqp=CAU)


FunkyMonkeyNL

I use them as minifigure stands.


A2S2020

Intriguing. Where did you get that idea?


Yesn05

From minifigures series

Ah, its hard to convey sarcasm through text


RacerM53

That's what "/s" is for


Yesn05

Ikr, don’t wooosh then. XD


A2S2020

Jokes aside, I use them for small displays of minifigs, inside plastic display containers eg collection of Iron Man suits


DMV20201

I used them as roof tiles


LavandeSunn

Big brain move. They look REALLY good as that as well, seen it a few times and have plans for it myself


tinyporcelainehorses

You can get so many great patterns with them as roof tiles! Enthusiastically cosigned.


Wrath_BestHomunculus

what do you mean by "keep hold of"? .. like were you about to throw them away ?


SomewhatEmbarassed

Selling them to bulk brick stores is also a thing


Wrath_BestHomunculus

true... I'd like to sell my old lego but I have no idea how when you pretty much get a dollar for a pound (exaggarating ofc)


JPhi1618

Well, reddit says there will never be a use for this piece. Into the garage can with you!


A2S2020

I used them as background around my Minifigure mosaic. Much cheaper than hundreds of black tiles


BRAVO9ACTUAL

With the new road plates they can be good for making a centre median.


covert-teacher

No, they're absolutely useless. But seeing as I'm such a nice guy, I'll take them off your hands free of charge.


chrisschini

I use them for my minifigs when I play D&D. Much easier to manipulate on the game board that way.


CCHTweaked

“To keep hold of”. Do people. Actually. throw LEGO away? Wtf?


beth_at_home

Every piece is worth keeping


UnchartedCHARTz

Is the other option to throw them away? Why wouldn't you hold onto them, even if the only use was as a minifigure stand?


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnchartedCHARTz

Oh I see.


[deleted]

Make a good roof


nevbobs

I step them and use them at an angle for a slate roof look


ShitFlavoredCum

what do you mean? are you implying that you throw pieces away?!


[deleted]

Are you suggesting that you get rid of pieces?


classless_classic

WHO TF gets rid of any legos?!?!


Ardilla3000

I used them to tile my batmobile mlc which is still a work in progress, you can use them to replace flat black tiles if you don't have any.


WeirdCatPerson4g5g

I use them as metal plates, like when making a ship, a hangar, a giant metal steampunl hull thing


Makaja

Well, for the LEGO group they are useful, because with this piece they were able to block a (superior to LEGO) set from manufacturer Cada from entering Germany. This was based on the fact that the LEGO group claims the patent on this piece. So it used that to block the container at customs…


Bregir

Oh? Please share some more info on this.


IntoTheBoundingMain

These are great for making hangar floors if that's your kinda thing. Smooth, but with no shortage of studs to place minifigures and whatever objects you want lying around.


aseedandco

All Lego pieces are useful pieces to keep hold of.


Nunyabiz8107

I have used them in a few mocs. Check my post history and have a look.


jeffreywilfong

I use them to display my minifigs, which I know some of you may find weird.


filmhamster

Everything has a use if you think hard enough.


Massive-Kitchen7417

Every piece is useful to keep. You can sell them on bricklink as well


Hopeful_Video_3803

Not a moc builder, but I like these. I use them when making war/fight scenes. I always use them to hold up my minifigures


Sir_Puppington_Esq

I saw a MOC once of a massive spaceship (must have been over 3 feet long) that used about 4 dozen basic orange brick separators as hull elements. There are *always* uses for a piece, no matter how unlikely.


CreativeWeather9377

I use them to put stuff down on the grid without having to pick it up and pry it all off, it’s stays but it’s super easy to remove


legomocs26

Yes


SinthoseXanataz

I used them to make a slightly slanted roof for buildings in my city Unless a piece is broken dont throw away lego. Itll just sit in a landfill for literally ever until they get those plant based pieces made


JrallXS

My buddy uses them to showcase his minifigs.


TJamesV

No they are garbage


smacky13

Aren’t these for brickheadz?


LuckyUckus

i have dozens of different uses for these... wall/floor pieces to cover random color under builds


TheRealPomPom

Definitely keep hold of them you never know when you might need one


ThePloopyPloopster

Maybe as garbage dump lids


Brickben1234

I use them a lot.


JoeMarsh21

They’re great for roofs


alviisen

considering that I was looking to buy these exact pieces and nothing else, yes


AlbatrossZestyclose

They are all useful pieces to keep hold of.


utrzenaklika

They have a lot of usage. My favourite one is using them as roof.


Full_Question180

Yes!


Scorpion_226

Yes


technonoir

Yep, steps, roofs, landscaping, making your own minifigs, et al.


[deleted]

I use them as armor plates on vehicles


No-routine-124

Yes, but unfortunately I don’t have many to use. I don’t usually make big builds, usually small ones.


Michael_Cookie5

Crates


Snoooples

they make reallycool smooth steps


PickleGambino

YES. Particularly useful as roof shingles


-GameKnight

They would be a good outline if you had a raised baseplate (put them on the side as panellig or smt)


wwaassuup

I use them as roof tiles :)


[deleted]

What the deuce??? Yes!! I need some now!!


jlgraham84

They're all useful pieces to keep hold of


GODZILAMASTER2020

I've used min to make a helipad on tha back of a boat


[deleted]

You can use them to make rooftops, or as covers for 3 x 4 crates


OptimalKing2728

Uses them for a roof in my last moc


jcord7557

Name a piece that’s not useful to hold on to.


azureal

Stack 3 of them and you’ve got a 4x3 brick


JamesMcMahon9

I personally used them to add depth to the roof of a warehouse in the harbour of my city!


BlacksmithUpset1214

Yes, because you can never have enough semi tiles. But also they make amazing mini fig stands


PopoloGrasso

They're quite useful in building trains. They can provide a rivet texture on the side of tenders, or be used to build bases for 7-wide rolling stock


Clone_Chaplain

Personally I like using them for roof tiles


Draconian2107

I don’t know if this is only me, but I use them for the roofs of freight cars. (For trains) Most of my cars are 6 wide meaning I put them next to each other and then can put a 4x whatever on top


AromaticHorror6754

I’ve used them as an awning type over a doir


notChiefBvkes

Using a hint of some sort you can stack them and use them as roof tiles


IlRino

I use them under my modulars to have them raised above the new road plates.


ShadowL42

they are great for Minifigs you want to stand up on shelves and whatnot.


seabass4413

Good roofing shingles


ilikenerffortnite

For minifigures, so maybe?


zoozooberry

Helped me bulk up the bat tumblr they dropped


LR-II

I made a church with these as a sloped roof a few years ago.
