    Neat! This is a very comprehensive writeup! I found this part particularly interesting:

    Modern Technic bricks with pins, such as 42929, are dual-molded so the brick part is ABS and the pin is PA (this is why they show up in BrickSet as “multicombination”, even though it’s the same color throughout).

    I didn’t know dual-molding was possible, and I’ve never noticed a visible seam or difference in colouration.
