    ^Nice.

    I wonder what kind of equipment is used to do printing like this, especially printing onto curved parts.

    @Bcj5_10 The 2x3 plate is this. While the top rotor is this.

    I am busy sorting a 35lb lot of used lego. There are about ten partially built sets in the lot I can't identify as they are all made with fairly common pieces. Is there a way to search any of the Lego part databases for sets containing part xxxx AND part xxxx? If there isn't, I may be posting some pics here shortly...
  • plasmodiumplasmodium Member Posts: 1,956
    ^Not easily (that I know of). Most of the people here are quite happy to help (not to mention that half of them have a frighteningly encyclopaedic knowledge of Lego), so why not post it anyway.
  • oldtodd33oldtodd33 Member Posts: 2,696
    ^^ Besides, it's fun guessing what they are.
  • beegeedeebeegeedee Member Posts: 380
    ^^^ try looking for an unusual piece in the build. It helps to track them down or at least reduce the number of sets when searching for it.
  • CupIsHalfEmptyCupIsHalfEmpty Member Posts: 545
    To answer my own question, I've been partially successful using rebrickable. Before I started, I didn't have any loose parts tied to my account. I added a couple pieces and then selected "build" only using my loose parts. It then came back with only a couple sets that use those exact combination of parts. I'm not sure how complete the database is over at rebrickable, but it definitely has potential.

    p.s. Don't worry I have lot's of weird parts I can't identify and will post them here in the next couple days for your enjoyment.
  • plasmodiumplasmodium Member Posts: 1,956
    I was wondering whether Rebrickable would work, I was just trying to think how you would use it. ^That's a useful idea, though.

    @starwarfan77 Looks like some/most of the parts are from #6211.

    Need a bit of help here.
    No picture for this but I will do my best to describe what I have.
    Bought a box of lego with some instruction books, built up a police station,police lorry and several smaller creator sets, I am left with a snake made up of tan and grey Bionicle elbows linking eight body segments a definate head and tail and a fat middle in red/dark red (as if the snake is digesting a meal). 90% of the left over elements are red or dark red (the star wars colour) together with 4 caramel colour 3x8 wedge plates. Has anyone an idea what this could be- Ive been searching the database with no luck.
    Thanks in advance.

    @Jezzatheshed Is it #7325?

    No not that one- this one is more lifelike (if thats possible) and has dark red coverings.

    Sussed it. its the brontosaurus from 4507 minus its legs! time to count the bricks me thinks.
  • atkinsaratkinsar Member Posts: 4,258
    Looking for this on Bricklink, can anyone help please?
  • atkinsaratkinsar Member Posts: 4,258
    Picture for above!

  • peterlinddkpeterlinddk Member Posts: 170
    ^ is called a "Wedge 4 x 3 Cut Back with Cutout, Two Studs", but I prefer to think of it as a "motorcycle saddle", as used in Set #4893.

    The part number is 50948, and here it is on bricklink: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50948
  • kempo81kempo81 Member Posts: 961
    you've probably got a spare one in here mr polybag ;o) http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7800-1

    Darn enough to build a one legged T-Rex.

    That'll be why I don't recognise it, never did open that one!

    Hi!

    If anyone can give me a second pair of eyes on this, that would be awesome. I have identified almost all of my sets but I can't place these. I have scoured the town sets with no luck. I have tried looking by parts, but I can't find it.

    If it helps, on the back of the 2x2 it has numbers:
    on top: 12 38
    bottom: 3068

    Let's try this again.
  • oldtodd33oldtodd33 Member Posts: 2,696
    They look like they are from set 8818
  • lannyjacklannyjack Member Posts: 39
    They are!! Thank you so much! I thought they were part of my sets from when I was little. I never had any Technic sets, so I was stuck looking on town and racing sets.

    I did get a bunch of Technic parts in a thrift store buy, and this is where they go.

    thank you again!
  • JessyDooDahJessyDooDah Member Posts: 228
    Hi guys!
    Can you tell me if the dark tan 2x2 tile (see below) is available in any other set than the modular fire brigade?
    Cheers! Jess :)
  • atkinsaratkinsar Member Posts: 4,258
    ^ Here you go: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3068b&colorID=69&in=A
  • peterlinddkpeterlinddk Member Posts: 170
    ^^ If you need 2x2 dark tan tiles, they were recently in the PaB walls in the LEGO Store - if you live near one of those. Here in Copenhagen they still have lots of them, and according to http://www.brickbuildr.com/view/pab/ they are still around in many shops.
  • JessyDooDahJessyDooDah Member Posts: 228
    Perfect! Thanks @atkinsar &B @peterlinddk !
    I have lots of chances to get some. :D
  • lannyjacklannyjack Member Posts: 39
    So I have found most of my parts, but I have no idea what this is called. I have tried searching by curved slope or dome with no luck. I have just been looking at random sets on bricklink and peeron to try and find in an inventory.

    Any help with be great!

    ^ That's under Brick, Modified Facet 3 x 3 x 2 part # 2463.
  • lannyjacklannyjack Member Posts: 39
    Thank you!!
  • JT32JT32 Member Posts: 124
    Can someone please help me identify these, hopefully they are from the same set?
  • mressinmressin Member Posts: 843
    @jt32 They are all three in this set: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8059-1
  • JT32JT32 Member Posts: 124
    ^ thanks for that.
  • plasmodiumplasmodium Member Posts: 1,956
    I've answered a few times, but this is my first time asking a question on this thread.
    It's a slightly unusual question, too: What is the hairpiece used on Ewart in the Glomshire Knights brick comic? At first I thought it might be a "Gilderoy Lockhart" wig on upside down, but I'm not sure. Is it a custom piece?

    ^ It's the Hero Hair from Brickforge. Looks painted, though; I don't recognize it as one of the colors they offer (looks like light yellow rather than tan).
  • plasmodiumplasmodium Member Posts: 1,956
    Alright, thanks! That's been bugging me for quite a while. :P
  • LarkLark Member Posts: 3
    Hello - am a bit new to all of this :) Somebody near me is selling as attached in the following picture (I didn't take it and I do know not all the correct bits are together) what I was wondering is what are the two tiny figures in blue and yellow? Thank you !!
  • plasmodiumplasmodium Member Posts: 1,956
    edited October 2012
    They are microfigures from http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3838-1
  • andheandhe Member Posts: 3,940
    @lark as plasmodium said they are microfigs from the Lava Dragon game. Looks like a complete Studios Frankenstein as well! You know, if you fancy selling any bits on... :P
  • LarkLark Member Posts: 3
    Thank you both very much for the reply - ha yes I had only just figured out before I came back here that the Frankenstein is a nice hidden find among it but of course that is one of the one's I want to keep ! Cheers from Ireland

    That could just be a result of color adjustments to the photo. It's easy to shift around colors when editing.
  • HaenkHaenk Member Posts: 3
    Thanks for identifying those 3838 microfigs, I have those as well and couldn't even figure out if they are LEGO parts or not :)
  • lannyjacklannyjack Member Posts: 39
    Picture-4

    Here is one that's been stumping me.
  • peterlinddkpeterlinddk Member Posts: 170
    ^ that is a (or rather two) 4169 Train Signal Stand(s)

    Since they seem to be white, they are most likely from set #6828 - a small space-set from 1988.
