[Master thread] Help identifying parts, sets and minifigs

ktmo

I was going through my old sets and found a toy chest that says Wells Fargo & Co. and it is filled with 14 minifig heads, but none of them have faces. I don't think the chest is Lego. It is too big. Can anyone think of why I would have so many heads with no faces? Did minifig originally not have faces? I have a bunch of sets from the late 70s early 80s. Any ideas?

oldtodd33

The original lego minfigures with no arms or movable legs did not have faces but they also had solid stud tops just like any brick would

ktmo

Thanks. I do have a bunch of the armless minifigs.

He's from the 1997/1998 'UFO' theme, came in 4 different sets (6901/6902 being identical except for packaging - one was boxed, the other in a polybag)

Anyone know what this part is from? Or part number? It is stamped lego but it doesnt have a number anywhere visible.

oldtodd33

That's BL part #2605c01 used in 7 different sets from several different series.

No answer about the SW Advent Calendar figure?

oldtodd33

You have to look in sets under Star Wars. BL breaks each calendar down by day, so you have to search the set since it's not a real minifigure. Anyway the catalog # is 7958-5.

Hi there, I picked up a large collection of Lego Duplo from a charity shop, it had 450 picture bricks, but these 9 were a bit different, any help saying what they are would be greatly appreciated.

JoeCrisp

Please ignore my question, I have used bricklink on someones reccomendation, to find out what they were.

That looks like a POTC pistol - but from the MegaBlok series.

The mouse droid has a minifig number and that's not a real minifig.

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum to post - please let me know if it is incorrect and I will re categorize. This is my first post.

I have this brick and am trying to find out what it is so I can determine it's value if any.

Thank you.

There is a sticky thread for on going part ID. An admin will probably move this. Your part is

2454px6 Brick 1 x 2 x 5 with Mayan Minifig Pattern

from 5936 and 5986

Hi there,
i´ve received a order from TLG incl. the Slope 75 2x1x3 i´m just not sure wether i have it received with a Hollow Stud, or a Completely open Stud. It´s def. a open stud, and on the ground it reads "Lego"but i have no idea if it´s Hollow, or Completely open. Help anyone?

Diggydoes

Or can somebody define me the difference between a "Hollow Stud"and a "Completely open Stud"?

graphite

Pretty sure "hollow stud" is when just the center of the stud is cut out but a "completely open stud" is when it is basically drilled through into the center of the brick. For example the typical "1x1 headlight" brick has the side stud drilled through so that would be a "completely open stud" and most technic bricks have the top studs "hollow" like http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32064

Diggydoes

Thanks for your fast answer! That makes sense! So my part is a "Hollow Stud"-one.

graphite

Actually it appears "hollow" and "open" are both used (at least on Peeron) for ones that have a full hole so not sure. The only other thing I can think of for hollow is if it isnt solid from underneath. Someone else will probably chime in that has better knowledge of it than me =)

This is a fence. You can view the Bricklink page here: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30077

oldtodd33

That's a fence 1x 6 x 2 BL part number 30077.

Cheers Guys.

I'm a bit of a newbie to lego, and I've been trying to figure out this set for awhile. Any ideas? Are they even real lego, or imitation?

oldtodd33

M@%& B*%@* . Not LEGO.

LegobrandonCP

^^ Seeing that makes me want to puke. That is definitely NOT LEGO.

Being snobby isn't a very nice way to attract new people into the hobby, y'know.

Oops, I certainly did not mean to be snobby. It was the Mega B_____ that disgusted me.

Well, welcome to Brickset and to the LEGO world. I'm sure you will enjoy this hobby, but not your wallet. ;-)

JoeCrisp

Hi can someone tell me what this is, picked it up for 20p in charity shop.

peterlinddk

@JoeCrisp - that looks very much like a LEGO Racer - one of the ones with an air-pump.
Actually, I think it is the 7971 - BAD racer: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=7971-1 - just missing the spoiler wings.

JoeCrisp

@peterlinddk Thank You

^ and ^^ brilliant, thank you.

This piece was in my son's Forest Fire set, the Fire Plane set.

The plastic feels terribly cheap and looks like a Mega Bloks piece.

Bustin

Lego is sending me a replacement, but I feel it will have the same exact look and feel to it.
