[Master thread] Help identifying parts, sets and minifigs

adventure_al

My only thought is there hasn't been some ice queen statue in a Harry potter (I'm not a fan u see) set or something?

andhe

^It's also missing the rest of the plaits. If it's got a lego stamp on it, it's either a proto piece, or someone's cast their own mould from an original lego piece (I've seen customisers do that).

Ah well spotted. I hadn't dug my viking lady out yet, i was going from memory.

Im really intrigued by this piece I must say.

Other than the missing plaits, it's pretty accurate - it'd be pretty hard to make a mold so precise, right? (ie, precise enough that you can read the Lego stamp?)

Yes the lego stamp is on the inside. In the standard tiny font we'd expect. Right where the head stud would be.

I'm sure it's lego but no closer to identifying it.

adventure_al

Also the holes the horns go into are perfect and smooth and unobstructed.

If it is some sort of custom job it's absolutely immaculate.

Trying to find out about this particular promo. I call myself searching everything Dino related on BL. Unless I just missed it. Can anyone help out? The copyright date on back says 2007.

ColoradoBricks

I don't think it is in BL, looks like it is larger than usual minifig promo from LEGOLand

@jadedanc‌ I thought it rang a bell

jadedanc

Thank you so much @andhe‌ & @ColoradoBricks‌!!!

andhe

Apologies for my relinking. I hadn't seen Coloradobricks hidden link on my phone.

Drmnez

Does anyone know how to tell if this mini figure is legit or not?

BrickDancer

It has yellow neck printing on the torso while everything else is flesh.

Drmnez

well i looked at the pic of him in the vis dictionary and it has the yellow "under shirt" and looks like this. I do more research and see if I can find out some more info

ColoradoBricks

That torso is only currently used with yellow hands per today's Bricklink inventory.

mooman66

Hi all. I came across this part in a bulk lot. It's brick yellow, 1x16 and has part number 2465 printed inside. I can't seem to identify the set that uses this detail on it. Thoughts?

BrickDancer

It can be found in 4 different sets: #5958 , #5988 , #5919 or #3722

mooman66

Dohhh thanks. I was searching under brick yellow and didn't go to crazy town on the color options.

#7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid. :)

edgarallanpoe1422

Ah so it is! Thanks.

Andor

Was wondering what set or sets this was from. Whats got me confused is the metal inserted into the piece.

ColoradoBricks

@Andor, looks like an Electric, Plate 2 x 8 with Contacts

Andor

Thanks. Makes sense with the metal in it.

TheBrickLadd

Anyone know the part number for the two images attached?

ColoradoBricks

@heBrickLadd , Here is the hair (part 4614107) and the head (part 6025270)

TheBrickLadd

Legend Thanks @ColoradoBricks‌ :)

Drmnez

Can anyone tell me the part numbers and/or where I can find these half star tiles. 2x4 tile btw
Sorry for the sub par photo

edgarallanpoe14

That grey structure on the far right 2/3rds of the way up with the stormtrooper in it has me intrigued. Can anyone ID it?

edgarallanpoe14

Here's another image, at centre on the bottom.

Bumblepants

^an older AT-ST perhaps?

ColoradoBricks

Agree with @Bumblepants, looks like part of #7657

Yep that's definitely it. Thank you, excellent spotting!

Gurooo

Made an awesome flea market find today... Lots of lego from the 1950s! We have sorted and identified everything except these three.

The white headlight thingy has glass, the red one doesn't

Sorry, pic doesn't work, will post one in a couple of minutes.

Gurooo

There! Now off to the brag thread :)

plasmodium

The 1x1x1 windows are pretty rare and pretty sought-after! The translucent thing was used to couple trains together, I think...
@Istokg‌ Is the Lego historian around here, I'm sure he could tell you more!

ColoradoBricks

Here are the red and white parts.

The part on top is this hinge

Gurooo

Thanks a lot, guys!

I got these pieces at a TRU free build.
It was the Captain America Shield.

Bobflip

Just two random bits I'm not sure about. Don't think they're Lego but wanted to confirm before getting rid!

no clue what the larger item is, but the smaller looks like a brickarms Ammo clip (for belt feed machine guns)

andhe

Don't get rid of the clip! They're really useful!

Bobflip

Hehehe, fair play, will keep it by - it'll go in the same place as those Mega Bloks 1 x 2 plates with studs on both sides.

bortan88

Sorry I have no photos but the part is a black 4x2 plate but the 2 middle studs on one of the long sides are aout twice the height of a normal stud and both have holes right through them. They are also bigger in diameter than a normal stud and a brick cant be attached on top of them It also has a B and a 3 and Pat. pend. on the rear. It's not listed as a modified plate or a technic plate on bricklink so I'm at a bit of a loss to identify what it is and what set it came with. Thanks in advance.

ColoradoBricks

@bortan88, a picture would really help ;-) Try looking in the train section, they have parts like this that sound similar Train Brick 2 x 4 with Holder for Sliding Wheel Block

Natebw

In sorting my Lego, I have found dozens of these. I think of them as little space ladders. I looked, but don't know what the element number is for them. I also can't really think of anything functional to do with them - they aren't SNOT and they don't nest or anything. So I will occasionally just stick some on for additional greebling.

Can someone show me some awesome uses for these bricks? Thanks

Natebw

Holy cow that picture is big! :)

Link also shows the sets they have been in, as you can see A LOT of sets have had these.
They used them as grills on vehicles back in the day on LEGO city sets, they are also used as ladders, vents on the side of something.. whatever your imagination tells you to do with this.

Bumblepants

I love those parts.

bortan88

perfect, thats it, although the piece I have doesn't have the curved section and is just a plate
