stlux · December 2018

Looks like the Duplo Railing part 4668: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4668&in=S

Edit: Ninja'd by @Baby_Yoda

Bluefox1966 · December 2018

I think it must be for 9161 as I also have the clock face. Thanks for your help guys.

shikadi · December 2018

Anyone know where this minifig comes from?

I looked under Brickset Space category, also searched for "space" and don't see her.

Bumblepants · December 2018

^she is a collectable minifigure. Look in that category.

Here you go! https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=col093#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

shikadi · December 2018

@Bumblepants @oldtodd33 Thank you!

lady_bricker · December 2018

that shield is from #79008 pirate ship ambush (lord of the rings set) — https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3846pb37#T=C&C=85

edited to add — haha, sorry, for some reason my computer jumped to page 34 of this thread and i responded to a very old request!

@shikadi- Intergalactic Girl, a stand-alone minifig

gelkster · December 2018

Picked up in my last lot, cross-referenced the white liftarm, orange bionicle teeth, & checked under bionicle for "pincer" & "claw" to no avail. Looks too "professional" to be a personal build IMO

560Heliport · December 2018

It might be #9695 LEGO Mindstorms Education Resource Set. It has the orange teeth and the LBG claw, though the claw isn't listed in the inventory. You can see them in the 3-compartment tray.

datsunrobbie · December 2018

^Check out Mindstorms NXT #8527, it is in this manual https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/4499268.pdf

gelkster · December 2018

I think it's from #8527, what i thought was a white 1x9 liftarm is very light bluish grey, & the claw is considered a "fang".

palmers9grb · December 2018

Does anyone know what sh054 nova head looks like found a torso in a joblot but not use if I have the head. Cheers

PaulM · December 2018

Hi, anyone recognise any of this little lot? Thanks.

gmonkey76 · December 2018

^the black hose and White bits look like the come from #7749 Echo Base.

PaulM · December 2018

Thanks.

Think the police parts at the back belong to https://brickset.com/sets/7741-1/Police-Helicopter but with the sticker on the wrong piece.

And the assembly with the steering wheel looks like https://brickset.com/sets/6743-1/Street-Speeder.

gmonkey76 · December 2018

The red wedge with the dolphin is from #2536 Divers Jet Ski

The red wedge plate is from #4615 Red Recon Flyer

PaulM · December 2018

Thanks again.......

@Bluefox1966, the part is number 4668. It's not listed here on Brickset for some reason. @Bumblepants, the set you're thinking of is probably #1041-1 as it's the only Duplo Dacta set with a boat, and it happens to include the part.

I have found the mystery boat set I was remembering and isn't listed on Brickset. It was #9162 Duplo Ships in the Educational line. Bricklink link here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=9162-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

PaulM · December 2018

Any ideas on these?

The orange one on the left is from #4584 Hot Scorcher.
The orange one on the right is from #60034 Arctic Helicrane.
The two black pieces are from #8648 Buzz Saw.
The pullback motor seems to be this one:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=41857c01&in=S
which came in 10 sets.

Aanchir · December 2018

In no particular order…

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=45677pb071 from #7962
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41747pb006 from #4584
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=47753pb054 from #60034
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=45677pb035 and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=50948pb01 from #8648
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41857c01 which came in 10 different 2002–2003 Drome Racers sets.
At first I thought the blue piece was from one of the McDonalds Happy Meal/General Mills cereal box prizes (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=G&catString=679.179&itemBrand=1000), but at second glance I'm pretty sure it's non-LEGO.

PaulM · December 2018

Thanks Aanchir, much appreciated.

I think you mean 051? You can search using these numbers on bricklink then look at a minifig's inventory

Hello everyone! New here and hoping some of you experts might recognize some of the pictures I'll be posting. I was recently gifted with a huge bin of Lego parts, which comes in very handy as I have a 6 year old son and Christmas is near. Within this bin were several partially built items, and I'm hoping the rest of the parts are contained in the pile of thousands of pieces.

When I was a kid we just had very basic Legos, but now there are so many different sets and so many specialty parts. What I'd like to do is a) identify the sets, b) download the instruction manuals and part lists from lego.com, and then c) deconstruct the what's already build, add the missing parts in and bag them up as complete kits so that we can build them together. I looked on lego.com and was able to find a couple of the sets, which were from 2014 and 2017, but couldn't find anything that looked like these pictures and have no idea how to figure out how to identify them myself. Totally willing to do the work myself if there's a way for me to identify.

Switchfoot55 · December 2018

The first and last pictures (dark bluish gray and light bluish gray 12 x 3 wedge plates) is one of the roof segments from #75105 Millennium Falcon I believe.

The license plate and 24 hour service stickered pieces are from set #60081

The "ANJ" stickered piece and the vehicle base with yellow wheels are from set #79115

The vehicle with trans-light blue wheels is #70131

Still working on the red legs and batman sticker.

Switchfoot55 · December 2018

Sorry for the double post. I kept looking.

Red legs are from one of the alt builds on #31024.

The batman sticker still alludes me.

oldtodd33 · December 2018

The batman tile is this one. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=26603pb002#T=C&C=11

zekkiegogo · December 2018

I am gobsmacked. Did you just know this out of your heads? I was hoping at best to maybe get one of them and be pointed in the right direction to keep searching for the others. Wow. Thank you so much for this information. I will hunt down the manuals and get to work sorting out the pieces. I'm sure there are tons of amazing kits buried somewhere in this big bin. Is there something I could have done to find this information myself or are you simply lego geniuses?

gmonkey76 · December 2018

^it might be overwhelming at first, but I would play around on Bricklink.com. They have most set inventories, but the importance thing is they have all the parts by themselves. If you can find the part in their catalog you can usually narrow down the set.

One simple trick is that stickers with four or five digit numbers are almost always the set number that the part came from. So #60081 and #79115 were easy. Just enter that number in the search box on BrickSet and the set comes up.

Other stickers or printed parts with text or something identifiable like an animal, or flames, etc. are pretty easy to track down on BrickLink by searching the text or thing, such as “24-7 service sticker”, or “Batman pattern”.

oldtodd33 · December 2018

^ The search was tile, decorated 2 x 3 and it was easy to find, maybe 30 seconds. Unfortunately proper word descriptions still eludes bricklink admin and the word batman isn't even in the description so searching batman wouldn't have gotten me anywhere.

Switchfoot55 · December 2018

@zekkiegogo, I found all of them on Bricklink. I always thought people were Lego wizards who had memorized every set (some do exist). You can also use this great tool made by someone (can't remember who at the moment) on the forums:

http://www.spoofdata.com/setfinder/?id1=4199519&id2=4107637

Aside from stickers as the easiest way to identify something, I usually just look for the most unique piece in a sub-assembly or in the pile and start my search there.

For instance, I identified the piece from the Millennium Falcon from the 12x3 right wedge plate in dark gray. A search of the part narrowed it down to 169 total sets. Narrowing by color got it to 29. From there is was just scanning the thumbnails of set pictures until I saw something that looked familiar to your picture.

Others may have better methods, but I've found this works best and quickest for me. For trickier bits, I use the URL above and add in even the most simple elements. I identified the red legs photo you posted by adding in a red 2x4 plate, a red 4x2 wedge plate, and the red 3x3 wedge plate w/ cut corner.

The batman sticker may be from https://brickset.com/sets/41230-1/Batgirl-Batjet-Chase?

A little late to the party. See @oldtodd33’s response with BrickLink link above.

gelkster · December 2018

1x2 tiles with 2 letters followed by a (5-digit) # are almost always vehicle license plates. It's the designer's initials followed by the set #.

Oops - I scanned the thread and thought it still hadn't been found! Well done @oldtodd33 !

Mouse · December 2018

Anybody know what sets these belong to? Can't seem to find them listed anywhere.

I thank you guys immensely!

Astrobricks · December 2018

You’re welcome :)

This is going to sound self-serving, but I’ve noticed a seeming disinclination to give Likes to the kind folks who take time to identify parts here. It is it’s own reward in a way, since it’s like solving a puzzle, but recognition is always appreciated even if there’s no prize for most Likes.
