    @snowhitie I'm not a technic expert, but looks like you have at least some of http://brickset.com/sets/8815-1/Speedway-Bandit there. I think three of the technic guys and the red chair thing are from http://brickset.com/sets/8712-1/Technic-Figures, if not this link may help http://brickset.com/sets/tag-Technic-Figs?

    I suppose they are from the nineties. I would look for the figurines, looks like 4 sets or more, judging by the number and types of wheels. you may have this : http://brickset.com/sets/8815-1/Speedway-Bandit

    Any ideas? I found this image but still cannot identify which set it is from:


    It's part of a Star Wars set from a few years ago. Something from the Clone Wars. A droid gunship, I think. I don't remember the set number.

    It's one of various models built with the LEGO SW BrickMaster "set" from Dorling-Kindersley (DK). This one is a Varied Terrain Speeder (VTS) from the "Forest Fight" chapter. Does not have an official LEGO set number.

    I think some of it is from one of these two:
    http://brickset.com/sets/8016-1/Hyena-Droid-Bomber
    http://brickset.com/sets/7678-1/Droid-Gunship
    It looks like a kid had the thing from the book, but built some of it into a MOC. The base of the first picture looks just like the second, but it is missing a bunch of parts and has other parts added to it. The thing off to the side looks like a vulture droid head, which led me to the two links, but it could also be from one of their vulture droids.

    Good eyes at @gelkster it can be clearly seen there

    The only official set with dark blue 4x4 dish is #8018 AAT but some of the pieces on that model are not in it (like the 1x1 yellow tiles)

  • gelkstergelkster MN, USAMember Posts: 641
    Yeah Im looking at the BrickMaster set I mentioned, comparing it to the posted pic, i' a match brick for brick, no pieces from other sets.

    Ahhh... nice one!
  • LordofLegoLordofLego Member Posts: 311
    I didn't know what was in the Brickmaster books, so the Hyena Bomber was what first came to mind.
  • SprinkleOtterSprinkleOtter Member Posts: 2,751
    Okay, here are the images. Anyone seen one before?
  • LordofLegoLordofLego Member Posts: 311
    It may be redundant, but those are Bionicle Bohroks.

  • SprinkleOtterSprinkleOtter Member Posts: 2,751
    Yes, but what about the box?
  • plasmodiumplasmodium UKMember Posts: 1,942
    edited July 2015
    It just looks like packaging for a six-pack of Bohrock. That said, it does say "FAO Schwarz exclusive" at the top left. I've never heard of FAO Schwarz before, but I'd guess they were a supermarket/shop of some sort and in the country of origin, they were the retailers of this 'collection'.

    If you're looking for a specific set number for the collection, it may be difficult. Brickset doesn't always keep note of product collections in great detail, and sometimes they don't even have a number anyway.

    Are all the Bohrock complete? Is there any indication of there having been a 'freebie' thrown in with the package, cause that would narrow things down.

    [Edit]: Just in case, I looked back through the Brickset database for Bionicle sets in 2001-2002, and no collection is mentioned. Though I do remember offers in catalogues back in the day for all 6 of certain Bionicles for the price of 5 (though not specifically the Bohrok), so that'd be my guess as to what it was.

    FAO Schwartz is America's oldest toy shop, although it's now owned by Toys'R'Us. It' a bit of 'an institution'.

    Thanks. I'm from the UK, which explains why I've never heard of it! I assumed it was German/European because of the name...but then it wouldn't have English writing on the box, would it!
  • LordofLegoLordofLego Member Posts: 311
    I saw a six-pack collection on Brickset somewhere, but I can' tinder it back now.

    So am I. But Americans have heard of Hamleys...

    English printing no longer tells you very much - many European countries now use English on packaging and in advertisements, although that wasn't the case when these were printed.
  • LordofLegoLordofLego Member Posts: 311
    I've never heard of Hamley's.

    Why doesn't that surprise me?
  • khmellymelkhmellymel United KingdomMember Posts: 1,291
    Heck I've never heard of Hamley's but I live in the UK (okay, I'm a transplant, but I've been here a while now...)
  • AanchirAanchir United StatesMember Posts: 2,921
    I'd never heard of Hamleys until a few years ago, to be honest. I think Brickset's the only place I've seen it mentioned. I think F.A.O. Schwartz and Hamley's might be a good comparison in that they're both classy specialty toy stores from major cities.

    Movie buffs might know F.A.O. Schwartz from the movie Big starring Tom Hanks. It's the toy store from the giant piano keyboard scene.

    I have heard of F.A.O Schwartz, I'm happy to say.
  • plasmodiumplasmodium UKMember Posts: 1,942
    Flipping heck, I didn't mean to start a discussion about whether or not we've heard about each other's shops! And, in my defended, I grew up in Africa, and I expect very few of you have heard of Bamag or Rayan...

    FAO Schwartz and Hamleys (no apostrophe) are slightly different from others, being the oldest in America, and the oldest in the world, respectively. They're both tourist attractions.

    As others have said, FAO Schwartz is a pretty big, though rare, toy store in the US. The Bohrok are all complete in their canisters, but there isn't any room for a freebie in the box.

    Would the FAO Schwartz exclusivity increase the value of the boxed set? Keeping in mind, the box is in rough shape. I've just never seen anything like this sold before on ebay or the like.

    I have a couple of sticker pieces that I am struggling to identify. Can anyone help with either of these?

    @tigerfish the 1x4 stickered tile is this:

    the 2x2x2 stickered slope is this:

    (on a side note, I read that the FAO Schwarz flagship store is to close in New York
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33483247 EDIT: Having now watched the video, it's slightly mis-leading. The store is merely moving location dues to high rents.)

    4 I'm not sure on here. I don't think the far right one is Lego, but I'd like to know where it's from anyway!

  • ColoradoBricksColoradoBricks Denver, CO, USAMember Posts: 1,672
    @bobflip 3rd from left is a Hinge Coupling: http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=650#T=C

    I am not familiar with the other 3.

  • BobflipBobflip Member Posts: 611
    Oh yeah, a couple of tyres I'm not sure about as well!

    I keep getting those little orange/red things in my job lots. Annoying as I have no idea where they are from.
    Tried search for flexible tube, but nothing came up for purple.
  • FauchFauch FranceMember Posts: 2,543
    I doubt it's a lego flex tube, it's too long, also mines have cones at the extremity. I think the red yellow thing is lego and I've seen it on brickset, but I don't remember where. probably a bionicle thing or something.
  • DawnDawn GoldMember Posts: 247
    Disk in first picture of @Bobflip is http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=53993#T=C
    Bobflip
  • BobflipBobflip Member Posts: 611
    Yeah, I tried the flexible tube purple search as well, but found nothing! It definitely looks and feels pretty similar to the official ones, but no cones. Probably a Mega Bloks one as there was a bit of that in the lot as well.
  • plasmodiumplasmodium UKMember Posts: 1,942
    For the tires, something for scale (like a standard 2x4 brick or something) would be useful. It's a bit hard to tell how big they are from the picture!
  • GallardoLUGallardoLU USAMember Posts: 644
    those tires, look an awful lot like the old K'nex tires, but without scale I cant say for sure.

    looks like something for wheels. I have black ones with red tubes inside. wheels have a metal rod for inserting them.

    Thanks! Looks like a wheel brick that may be from a Samsonite set (?).

    Won't be necessary, that's what they are, thanks!

    But will do for future things that need it.

    Any ideas on this large dinosaur piece. It has 3265 on it but I can't match it to any sets. Stamped 2004

    When is this set from? It says 050, but does not appear to be the set 50. A friend is selling this and wants to now the value of it. I am thinking around £20.


  • ColoradoBricksColoradoBricks Denver, CO, USAMember Posts: 1,672
    There is a set 050 in BrickLink matching this one : http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=050-1
    Norlego
  • NorlegoNorlego ScotlandMember Posts: 449
    Thanks. I did a search for "50" and got something else up. But searching for "050" and it comes up. Should of done that. Not worth much it appears.
  • ColoradoBricksColoradoBricks Denver, CO, USAMember Posts: 1,672
    @Norlego price is hard to say for old set like that, there are none listed in BL just a box. Recently I came upon set #003 also hard to put a price tag, there was only one available on eBay for $100.
  • NorlegoNorlego ScotlandMember Posts: 449
    The main problem is that the bricks themselves are common. The box was not in good condition so wont have a value for collectors unless they would like a bad box until they stumble over a mint one. I suggested she sell it for £20. She has had it since childhood so need to give it away for nothing, might as well keep it a few years longer.
