Hi princedraven. Yes i bought a small box of second hand. What is price of that.

sathorsteinson · September 2011

I bought a huge bag of legos off my work mate when her boy went to college. And my little boys and I are trying to figure out what all goes together. Hope someone can help us find these sets. Thanks!!

Enjoy :)

Megabl*ks, I know for a fact the second picture is, and that figure isn't LEGO

SutterCane · September 2011

Pic 8 and 11 are from the Land Jet 7 set

Howdy. I'm trying to identify the curved piece in the bottom right of this image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5608538263/

Can someone please tell me what to search under in BrickLink?
Cheers

Matthew · September 2011

I knew it by sight, but couldn't think what set it was in, so a search for simply 'curved 2x2' gave me this about halfway down the first page

sathorsteinson · September 2011

Thanks for your reply Matthew, I had no idea what you meant by Mega***** and only today when I saw the Mega etc symbol on the actual peice did I get it, LOL!! Obviously thats a dirty word on this site, hehe! Do you know if they have a site like this one where I can get instructions on how to put this together? Thanks again!!

bkpr · September 2011

Thanks matthew. I can't recall if I used 'curved' in my search (obviously not). I couldn't see the 2x2 size in the photo. Cheers!

Matthew · September 2011

^^ There's this http://bloks.hyperboards.com/
I've no idea about what's on there though.

andhe · September 2011

Has anyone seen one of these before?
I've only ever seen it a one that goes INTO a stud, rather than sits on top. Any idea what set it might be from if any? Couldn't see anything on bricklink.

Hob · September 2011

I've just got a load of these but in red and white, they go on the castle stuff and the knights helmets i believe. Normally held by the small semicircle bricks (so don't know correct term)

6086-1: Black Knight's Castle has red ones over main gate and in helmets.

andhe · September 2011

If you look this goes OVER a stud so isn't http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x47 :P...

Hob · September 2011

oh yeah your right must be a similar piece though.

davee123 · September 2011

Are you sure it goes over a stud? I can't tell from the picture, but if it's the same size as the typical dragon plume, then it's too small to fit over a stud. Also, given that it looks green (which the dragon plume never came in), I'm guessing this is probably a modified LEGO element (painted, with the bottom chopped and possibly hollowed out).

There's a chance it's a prototype, or a knock-off Chinese brand, but I'm pretty sure it was never actually sold by LEGO.

steelyglint · September 2011

I've got a batch of lego which looks like party of a grader/backhoe set, but there is a heavy 2 x 6 x 2 high black solid block with something magnetic inside, a dimple at each end, but no input/output options. Is it just ballast/counterweight? or is there some other function?

Hob · September 2011

I got some of these in a train set i bought the other day i wondered what they were for until i downloaded the instructions. One went in the main train car i suppose to add weight.

davee123 · September 2011

Yep, weight bricks!

DaveE

steelyglint · September 2011

Thanks for the prompt response ... I'll stop puzzling now, and see if i can make something with the bits that are in the bag!!

legomatt · September 2011

Can somebody tell me about this item:

It's a Legoland Windsor medal, with a pirate on one side, and 'legoland windsor' on the other. I've never been there, so i'm not certain how I came to own it, and I know nothing about it at all.

(the pictures are not mine, i found them via a google search.)

Thanks for any info.

emilewski · September 2011

OK. I found these in a lot of old stuff (classic space and some unidentifiable stuff). They are blue, 1 x 16 with a ridged track down the middle. I have two, and on one I have the part number of 1208 and the other 208 (why not the same?) and I was shocked that BrickLink had neither listed. Does anyone have any ideas? Which part number is correct if I try and add to Bricklink for my store? I am assuming I can add a part that does not exist to Bricklink. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

davee123 · September 2011

Unfortunately, I think that's not the Design ID (AKA "part number"). I think what you're seeing is probably the mold cavity number, and ... something else. The part you're looking at appears to be in BrickLink as 3228a, which could be pretty old. I'm not sure LEGO was in the habit of putting their Design IDs onto the elements back then.

Typically, the molds will have the Design ID of the part and/or the mold cavity number-- IE, the specific cavity of the mold from which they were injected, since each single mold can produce many parts at once. The other number I'm not sure about-- maybe the mold number, the batch number, facility number, or something else entirely.

Anyway, for the sake of BrickLink, I'm pretty sure you've got 3228a.

emilewski · September 2011

Thank you! I never would have found that.

Istokg · September 2011

Emilewski.... welcome to the world of blue track era trains... 1966-79. Not much in the way of specialty parts back then (fewer than 300 different LEGO elements)... but it could still build a nice layout...

AScaryOctopus · September 2011

Don't have picture, but it's a transparent treasure chest (There are no colors to it).

andhe · September 2011

It's a trans-clear treasure chest, probably from harry potter http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4738ac01&colorID=12&in=A

AScaryOctopus · September 2011

^

Yep. That's it. Thanks.

AScaryOctopus · September 2011

Just found another weird thing: One blue and one pink parrot, along with a jet black treasure chest.

luke_1_ · October 2011

hi all
first time here looking for some help
got a box of lego and found some C-3PO parts i cant identify
thanks for any help

andhe · October 2011

^ They're from a lego pen I think. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=P1711

luke_1_ · October 2011

thank you andhe
yes it is as have some of the other bits as well
i did not look at the pens forgot about them

andhe · October 2011

Anyone seen a samurai sword like this? I'm pretty sure it's not lego, but was bulked in with some other lego ebay stuff. The handle is a perfect fit.

beegeedee · October 2011

@andhe, the sword is sort of similar to the ones I just got in ninjago set 30082 but the tip is more blunt than in that set. See part 30173

mitch4834 · October 2011

This is my first entry. I am a Lego League coach and need more of a particular part for our robot. I just don't know what the name is so I can search. Help is greatly appreciated.

sidersdd · October 2011

^ 3x3 bent pin connector with 4 pins. Part #55615.

cavegod · October 2011

http://www.bricklink.com/PL/44359.jpg?0

it is a mix of red and white is it just a part produced during a colour change?

mitch4834 · October 2011

^ 3x3 bent pin connector with 4 pins. Part #55615.

Thank you

Jezzatheshed · October 2011

Found these in a super car-boot find -there were lots of construction vehicles easily identified by there Lego "numberplates" but I have lots of elements left and I'm sure the canopy at the top is from another construction vehicle.
Any ideas?

cavegod · October 2011

the trans black windscreen could be from any of these

Mandalore · October 2011

Hello All,

I was hoping for some assistance in identifying the piece in the picture the piece(s) is probably from 2001-2005. Thanks!

Mandalore · October 2011

Hello All,

Second of Three Items I am hoping to identify. A gold Helm, most likely from 2002-2005.

Item #2

Mandalore · October 2011

Hello All,

Item 3 of 3. It is an Octopus of some type the back of the head can attach to bricks, so I am not sure if this was a wall hanging in a set or not. There are three Octopus.

Item #3

Mandalore · October 2011

Sorry for all the posts, I have identified the Octopus set, 4799-1 Ogel Drone Octopus.

The other two are still unknown.

Thanks!

Matthew · October 2011

^^ This is where a 'Let me Bricklink that for you' would come in useful http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=octopus

EDIT: Ninja'd

malleable · October 2011

@Mandalore: The black quarter-saucers are from set 4795 (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=4795-1) and the helmet is from set 7419 (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7419-1).

Eric · October 2011

Sorry about the webcam quality picture, but I couldn't find my camera. I found these stickers in some boxes when clearing out. I'm 99% certain they're Lego. The sheet was bigger, but it has been cut down at some point. Any ideas what set they're for?

Endigo_Vandane · October 2011

@ Jezzatheshed: The trans black windscreen is actually from:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=47506&in=S

The black wedges are from:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8105-1
(number is printed on one of the stickers)

@ Eric: It is part of the stickersheet from the 8651 Jumping Giant.
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=8651-1

Endigo_Vandane · October 2011

Nope, it's from one of these two:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=44359pb01&in=S
(my guess would be the 7775)
