My Brick Separators are starting a Family Or "WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY OF THEM!"

KingAlanI

They keep putting them in sets I want for the parts, like the little orange ones in the Creative boxes. I have a big green one, and I think I have a big light gray one somewhere.

I can't like this comment more than once but I wish I could. Someone calling him out for once, woop. 

Everytime you say something like that I think how sad your life must be for it to be of the slightest interest to you.

To be fair it is pretty boring. But that does feel a little rich coming from someone who argues with everything, and everyone on the forum who shares an opinion.
Thank you for thinking of me though.

Lego should start giving differnt colours of them instead of the standard orange I would love to see a seperator with a batman logo come from the batcave that would be cool.

I think, I have (or had) a dark grey one.

^I have a dark gray one as well.

SprinkleOtter

^ Yep. I have two, I think, from old RCX kits.

The local independent toy shop in Gerrards Cross still has the grey ones in individual packets for sale!

I expect to see them in the ridiculous ebay auction thread soon being sold for £100 as 'retired and ultra rare!!!!!!!!!'

I only have one of each, since I hardly ever buy new sets and rarely see the separators show up in my thrift-store purchases. Apparently people who are donating sets around here are keeping the separators.

I definitely think many sets are designed to a price point.

Going off topic, but I expect the majority of sets (specifically retail) are designed to a price point.

Impressive. Do they have any other stock from the 90's?

I like this MOC by Vaughn Medway called  Attack of the Brick Separators :-) 

Hello, Vaughn here, I must point out that this wasn't my moc - excellent though it is - it is Nicholas Geeraets (sorry can't spell his surname) 

chrisalddin

it's alive. the thread is alive!

well. i just like to add that i now have a stack of 35 brick separators.
any others have any words to say like the number of "evil brick separators" you now own.

dehnehsu

There is always non LEGO separators too.

VorpalRyu

According to Rebrickable, we now have 57 orange & 1 green, or at least we will have once we finish the Lego room & open all our sets...

Recce

Mine :) 

Grimlock

First time I encountered one was in 6869 and I thought it was supposed to be part of the Quinjet! :/

Now I have about 20. 

HangedSanchez

Mine all sit in a big bag on the edge of my table. No idea how many I've got, I think there's a fair few behind the table - it's far easier to get a new one from the bag than fish around to retrieve it!

catwrangler

I wonder where mine has got to... 

prevere

I would be nice if they re-designed it at this point and added some more buildable functionality to it.

chrisalddin

i dont see how a re-designed would work.
this is already V2 of this item. and i dont see how more studs could be added. and not lower it's use as a tool.

JudgeChuck

I keep mine in my storage containers, one per container, so that I always have one on hand while building or dismantling sets.
I have no idea how many I actually have, mind you. 

JooTog

Based on Brickset, I should have 89 of them (88 orange, 1 green). 36 of them are in unopened boxes.

I have all of them in a large PaB cup.

Oops my bad, sorry! It is excellent though :-) 

@OneWag you did do the Cluedo house model right? Or am I totally confusing you with somebody else?

Nope.  They do have some LotR,  Galaxy Squad,  Lego Movie and a Lone Ranger set though as of today,  when I went it to get....... this!

@LostInTranslation - yep Cluedo House was mine - 2014 Steam, My chubby hand and watch does appear in the photo of the Attack of the Brick Seperators as I was next to Nicholas.
