It looks brand new, so don't think that it's one where the printing has worn off.

Perhaps the printing was intentionally removed.

So I am looking to build something I found on YouTube but I have no idea what most of these part are I tried to find a parts list online and tried contacting the creator but had no luck with either below is the a link to the video of it being built Lego by Lego I would really appreciate any help on the parts and then would you recommend just buying all of them individually?

My only suggestion would be to pause the video and write down which parts you will need and then go to Bricklink and fill out a parts wanted form to see who has most of the parts you will need. The larger stores should have all or most of them.

Any ideas who this yellow and red guy is ?

binaryeye

The headdress is not from a minifigure, but is in two sets. The other is a Squid Warrior.

AceCobra1

Any ideas if these guys are lego mini figs? I kinda know the guy on the right is probably not but I have been trying to search the torso of the other guy to no avail... Maybe it is a megablok character?

binaryeye

The red torso is this, but it looks like it was never used in a minifigure with black hands.

oldtodd33

Do you mean the guy in the back ground with the LEGO space logo? He never came with black hands though. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=973pb0298c01

Looks like it may have come from a poly bag I guess - the green guy is not lego/ duplo right ?

If it had come in a polybag, it would be cataloged like any other minifigure. The only time the torso was used with a flesh head was in a Spiderman set, and it wasn't that head. It's a minifigure built from various parts.

It's a Character Building figure.

AceCobra1

Any ideas if this Captain Rex and the right (boba Fett I assume?) are genuine or fake legos? I can't seem to find similar mini figs on bricklink/ brickipedia ?

binaryeye

It's difficult to tell if they're real or fake based on relatively small photos.

501st Clone Trooper
Kit Fisto
Mandalorian Super Commando

If you're not aware, you can browse all minifigures from a particular theme at BrickLink. Click on the Catalog tab, click on Minifigs, then click on Star Wars. This might help you find some of these in the future.

Thanks buddy

Give that guy on the right a cape, and he'd be Lord Farquaad.

AceCobra1

Any ideas what this brown vehical might be from? Doesn't seem to be a Jabba's sail..

AceCobra1

Sorry found its from: 7662

What figures are these? Can't seem to find it on bricklink

Looks like a slightly modified version of one of these "Fantasy Era" Castle trolls.  Search for "troll" and you'll see it along with all the other normal-size minifigures:

It's not modified. The black armour versions came in the Troll mountain fortress.

Looks like most of it came in these sets.  http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=973pb0113c01&in=S

It's hard to tell which style of plate you have because of the picture quality. Looks to be an older plate. If it doesn't have the Lego logo on the bottom it is a lot older than the rest of the parts you have.

Thanks. Found pieces to Roadside Repair and Police Headquarters. But I still have one question what is with #1? Most 4 x 6 plates I have seen don't have the lines on the underside. The top is the same as any other piece, with the Lego logo on top of each stud. Anyone know why this is so?

For a start, the one pictured is 4 x 8.

There are countless variations for some parts, some more noticeable than others. I think 4 x 8 plates with the additional ribs, presumably as reinforcements, appeared in about 1973.

Again, the pictures aren't very good for identifying those parts but you can look on this page.  http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catID=113

I am looking for a lot of help.  I have a box of Minifigures that some took apart.  Is there anyone on right now to help?

Another thought: So if this plate is generally old, does that mean it could belong with these older windows I found today? (I've been sorting them for a couple days and still are discovering pieces)

From a quick look (and assuming the plate is light grey) I think there was only one set containing both - #080. The track and baseplates should be quite obvious in the remaining unsorted parts if you have that set.

Plates of that vintage (1967) didn't have the ridges.

The windows went out of production at about the same time the ridges appeared on the plates.

oldtodd33

I'm thinking that plate is from the late 70's.

Shane Dilday

I have more of these than I would like to admit, but here is number 1

I looked at it, but it does not list anything with regard to part number or what minifigure it goes to.  I will post another.

Shane Dilday

I have a couple of these.

oldtodd33

The arm is wrong but this is the torso. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=973pb0695c01

Ok, here is the long arm donor. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?M=toy005

Here is the other torso. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=973pb0615c01

It looks like your second figure is a diver from Atlantis: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=atl008

Shane Dilday

Outstanding.  I have four of those dive helmets.  I should be able to piece together a couple from it.  I know that I have four or five torso(s) as well.  Now just to get them back to the way they should be...I have said this before but it warrants being said again.  I will never buy from someone who says "I don't know they belonged to my kid"

Shane Dilday

Thanks guys.  I will be one later tonight and get some more posted I have about 50+ that are in pieces.  Lord help us all.

I don't have enough of him to put anything together.  So just an arm is all he is...

MODVLEX

Happy to be helpful! I might recommend that you photograph some of the other mystery-figs in a group, that may speed things up.

@Shane Dilday  - put them all (or a bunch of them) in a picture together with numbers and let people identify them batch by batch. It's quicker/more economical and people often do it. ;-)

(Dang, the space in your username makes you almost impossible to tag!)

Shane Dilday

Ok I will post more of them this evening.

Shane Dilday

And go...thank you in advance. More...many more to come. This is all my white torsos

Round two. Thank you for the previous reply. 4 complete, 6 that need parts and 9 that are beyond help (missing too much)

As a side note: it does appear that you're getting into lego for the very first time. If your intentions are to sell it on, I would strongly recommend you avoid buying mixed lots of random stuff from unknown third parties, at least until you've developed some basic knowledge-base of what Lego is.

My advice would be to restrict your initial enterprises to store sales and bargain buys only, you'll then know without doubt what sets you've picked up and parted out from, where the parts have come from, and all secure in the knowledge that everything is genuine lego.

Then, once you've got to know the products a bit better, you will start looking at secondary market buys with a bit more confidence. Otherwise, i fear you might start unwittingly handling fakes and/or polluting your inventory with clone brand/knock-off parts and figs. And nobody wants that. :)

Hi! I recently bought this little spaceman, can someone help me identify from what set it could be from taking into consideration its little accessories. Brickset does not have any sets with the little yellow spaceman and those accessories. Also, being that it is old, how do you find out if it's legit? The material is definitely very different from the plastic now but since I have no experience with old Lego sets, I'm quite ignorant in that respect.  Thanks for any help!:)
