I’ve painstakingly reviewed every new LEGO part released in 2023, as well as older parts that I had missed. This is a major update to the collection!

Version 40 adds labels for 120 new parts and updates to 14 existing parts.

What’s in this update?

I work hard to make sure that every update makes the collection better and more complete. This includes a lot of work that you might not notice to ensure that each part is placed at an appropriate location in the collection, since many people use the contact sheet as a guide when building and when sorting.

The new labels are almost evenly distributed across three categories:

1. Brand new parts for 2023.
   This includes some parts that are already very popular, as well as some parts from the end of the year which I anticipate will be very popular soon.
2. Parts from 2022 which are becoming more popular.
   This includes parts which I was not sure if they would remain rare (or only used in a single theme), but have shown continued popularity.
3. Parts from earlier years that have shown longevity, even if they are not used in all that many sets.
   This include a review of fresh data showing the 1500 most common LEGO parts.

Whether you use my guide to help sort your collection into logical groups, or print the labels to make parts easier to find, I hope this update helps you get more organized!

Version 39 adds 74 new LEGO Labels and 43 new DUPLO Labels for a total of 1685 unique labels!

What’s new in this update?

1. 74 new LEGO labels — including a ton of new parts released in 2022.
2. 43 new labels for the Most Common DUPLO (and QUATRO) parts.
   There are many adult builders who use DUPLO and even retired QUATRO pieces as filler when building large models.
3. 51 updated labels.
   The biggest change is use of ‘Ø’ symbol instead of ‘Diameter’ or ‘Dia.’ for rounded parts.

This update uses ‘Ø’ symbol instead of ‘Diameter’ or ‘Dia.’ to make labels for rounded parts more concise.

How did I pick the Most Common DUPLO parts?
While much less popular than my article highlighting the Most Common LEGO Parts, I also created a similar list of the Most Common DUPLO Parts which was updated recently.

I’ve reviewed every new LEGO part added in the second half of 2022, plus the top ~1250 Most Common LEGO Parts, and found a lot of great parts that I’m excited to to add to the collection!

There will be at least 51 new labels in the upcoming release.

Proposed improvements in this update

I am constantly trying to improve the short text descriptions for each part. With this update, I’m exploring the consistent use of diameter (Ø) indicators on many round parts. This is especially relevant when you have a large part with a rounded corner – knowing the diameter/radius of the corner will help you determine which parts to use above or below it. As you can see from the example image, this should also improve parts which already show a diameter (such as tires and wheels).

Using “Ø” symbol to indicate diameter of rounded parts.

Examples:

• 1×2 Tile, Ø1 Rounded Ends (part 1126)
  When Ø is followed by a number without units, it means studs. I could have said “Ø1L” instead of “Ø1”, but I want to optimize for simple cases.
• Hose, Ribbed Ø7mm (part 78c**)
  When Ø is followed by a measurement in mm, I will clearly say so, as in this example “Ø7mm”.
• Ø24mm × 11mm Integrated Tire w/ Pin (part 72206)
  I will probably update wheels to use this format as well, as in this example.

This is similar to how I started indicating the angle (°) for slopes in version 3.2… I do worry that awareness of ‘Ø’ as the symbol for Diameter is low. While it is certainly something people can learn, I do not want to introduce too much confusion.

This is a potentially major change, so FEEDBACK IS WELCOME! (You can email me or leave a comment.)

P.S. This change was inspired by some official LEGO part names which also use the “Ø” symbol. That symbol happens to be a letter in Danish, but it is also used in mathematical circles (pun intended) to mean diameter.
