    Seventh is #6877 Vector Detector- one of the best set names ever, IMHO.

    I belive the third on is from #6270 Forbidden Island. Thank you for the fun challenge! I have all of these except the Formula 1 Racer.

    Hi all, just need some help identifying tbe character. My wife and kids brought it back from Legoland and it’s of sentimental value. Thanks!

    It’s a Nexo Knights ‘Lance’ Keychain #853524

    Welcome to the forums by the way!

    I found this minifigure in a recent lot from Savers. It has LEGO stamped on the top of the neck, on top of the hips, and in the stud on the head. The lightning bolt in a circle on the sides of the head and center of the chest are raised, as is the detailing on the torso and arms. 

    My guess is that it is a custom made from LEGO parts. Anybody know where this bizarre little guy came from?

    Looks like some kind of Flash villain as a custom, probably Zoom given the dark outfit and arcane look. It’s definitely not an official figure
  • andheandhe Member Posts: 3,941
    Are you sure it says Lego and not something else, either in the same lettering or like Lago? If it's a knock-off brand then yes, it's cheap garbage, but if it's actually custom printed on official Lego then those figures tend to be quite expensive/exclusive so would be bizarre to find it just thrown into a loose bag of Lego?? 
  • CCCCCC Member Posts: 20,526
    Do you have a close up photo of the stud in the head with the lego logo?
    And what is that raised section on the chest?
  • datsunrobbiedatsunrobbie Member Posts: 1,818



    I have more pix, this time showing the LEGO logo and the front of the figure. The emblem on the center of the chest and the lightning bolt patterns left and right are raised, as are the emblems on the sides of the head and arms. Center of torso and upper legs are textured.

    @andhe I've found several pricey minifgures at this shop just mixed in with random bricks, part of why I keep going back every week.

    That confirms it’s a ‘heavily customised custom’ using official Lego parts as a base, in my view.

    Did that gold C-3P0 come from this shop? Seems highly unlikely that would be a legit one just lobbed into a lot of loose bricks but you could just be insanely lucky.

  • datsunrobbiedatsunrobbie Member Posts: 1,818


    I think that C3PO is legit, here's a couple of close-ups.

    I've has very good luck at this shop, beginning with a #10188 Death Star for $56. The only thing it was missing was inner box #1 (all the parts were there, just missing the box). That was the set that ended my Dark Age.

    Maybe in America you’ve just got gold C-3P0s lying around! Any time I’ve ever seen one in the UK even in a secure case it’s been a fake.
  • Switchfoot55Switchfoot55 Member Posts: 3,357
    Luck and persistence pays off sometimes. I found a bin with a whole set of monorail tracks and parts for #7722 for $25. The same store has yielded several other great finds. 

    I'm definitely interested in that mystery fig, however. The raised portions in particular.

    Whatever that black figure is, it looks to be a good quality custom based on those raised parts.

    Anyone know what these chunks might be from? Looks fairly big but not finding anything.
  • 560Heliport560Heliport Member Posts: 3,910
    In the second photo, at the top, left of the red square that looks like three 1x4s stacked, I think you have #30542-1 Cute Pug. In the top right of that photo, that looks like something from Minecraft, on a blue 12x12 base (likely two 6x12 plates).

  • 560Heliport560Heliport Member Posts: 3,910
    The big chunk at the bottom of photo 2 looks like two train track pieces with tiles covering the studs, and sideways-built parts to each side- a MOC, perhaps for a streetcar or light-rail train? I'm sure the similar chunks in photo 1 go with it, and the big black chunks too- maybe the whole thing was raised, or even an elevated section.

    Your Minecraft bit looks like part of #21129 The Mushroom Island.

    First photo , that blue fin on the right seems to be from #3181 Passenger Plane, with sticker upside down.

    Middle of photo 2, the 4x4 dish with red, green, yellow, and blue segments was in three sets: #10264 Corner Garage, #31104 Monster Burger Truck, and #31079 Sunshine Surfer Van.

    Hello All,

    This is my first post and I'm looking forward to be able to explore all the different comments regarding the Lego sets. I have been organizing about 15 to 20 different sets that my 13 year old grand daughter built over the last 8 years. She has returned them to me and said to please give them to her cousin, my 5 year old grand daughter, for her to enjoy. I have been trying my best to reset which parts go to which set and have been able to match at least 85 percent so far. I have been stuck with a few pieces and hopefully someone will be able to identify the parts in these 2 photos and point out were they belong...   thanks in advance...   Pamma    (Pam plus Grandma  lol)

  • Switchfoot55Switchfoot55 Member Posts: 3,357
    I'm unsure of the top photo, but will keep looking. 

    The bottom photo to me looks more like MegaBloks sets instead of LEGO. You can tell which company by the "stamp" on top of the studs. I can see from at least the small assembly with the glitter trans-blue plate/bricks and the glitter trans-red brick that they do not have LEGO stamps (and aren't parts that LEGO makes in glitter that I'm aware of).

    First pic looks like parts of a Friends pet or horse riding set. If you scroll down to the ‘lime’ section here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3031&in=S you might find something you recognise
  • PammaPamma Member Posts: 4
    Switchfoot55...   The_Rancor...   thanks so much for sharing this information. I did see the MegaBlock stamp so that mystery is solved .   I looked at that other link but didn't see anything that I recognized...   again thanks so much and the search continues.

    @Pamma the pieces that make the light blue box thing are only in two sets, though I can't see that exact build in either of them 

    https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=6231&colorID=105&in=A

    Same with the long lime green 'plate' (Lego term for the flat brick) is only in 11

    https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3034&colorID=34&in=A


    A number of the parts seem to be in this https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=561411-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

    But most look like things that your granddaughter has probably created herself.

    Thanks again for all the help. Your help has made my matching a whole lot easier!  I just came across another small group that I set aside (hopefully my last lol), any thoughts on these pieces?   thanks   Pamma

    The minifigure is Emmet from the Lego Movie and the Minidoll is Emma from Friends (funnily enough) I think. The pink conch, heart and hat I don’t think are Lego but the vine might be on first glance.

    The vine is genuine Lego and that color is in just 5 sets...

    That Emma mini doll is made up of different figure parts ( that torso and those legs don’t seem to have come together in a set for Emma)

    Is there a way of searching bricklink for multiple parts? Eg sets that contain X, Y and Z.

    Yes, there is. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?viewMulti=Y

    Can anyone tell me where this is from? Or if it is a custom sticker? The shield is genuine, light bluish grey but I can't find the sticker anywhere.
  • The_RancorThe_Rancor Member Posts: 2,573
    I’m 99.9% sure that’s a custom shield, at least the decoration is. There’s never been a Lego faction with ‘W’ in their heraldry, at least not with the Fantasy era ‘King’s Knights’ colours in the background.

  • andheandhe Member Posts: 3,941
    @Tom79 do you have it in your possession. I'm assuming not as otherwise it being a sticker or not should be fairly obvious. It's not one Lego has produced so it could be a custom print (or sticker) someone had done themselves or for a project eg a custom build for a business or something.
  • Tom79Tom79 Member Posts: 45
    @andhe yes, I found another bag of Castle in a thrift store. This time it contained a nearly complete #8823 Mistlands Tower and #5615 The Knight. And a few other Castle accessories: sword, helmet and this stickered shield (which I know isn't from a faction but there are unprinted shields which receive a sticker in some sets). Plus a lot of orange and blue pieces which seem like they would form a set but according to bricklink there's no set which contains the parts which are there. There are two 2 x 2 bricks (one orange, one blue) with a white sticker saying ARCADIS so probably a custom set from that company? But these stickers are definitely not on the same level as the sticker on that shield...
  • oldtodd33oldtodd33 Member Posts: 2,696
    You might see a clue here.  https://www.brickloot.com/pages/custom-lego-kits-and-minifigures
    andheKungFuKenny
  • Tom79Tom79 Member Posts: 45
    @The_Rancor I know it's not from any faction but there are unstickered shields too. I can't find this one in bricklink but it wouldn't be the first time a stickered part was not listed...
    @oldtodd33 should be something like that, probably :-)
    Though these are different than the one from brickloot, I've added a photo so you can see for yourself ;-)
    Those bricks weren't stacked like that, the jumper plates and headlight bricks were. And you can see that these ARCADIS stickers are somewhat more basic. (shield and accessories are on the bottom right next to Shakespeare, hair and skull were included so just felt natural to give those to him :-D)

    The actor minifig is worth holding on to.

    @CCC now that you mention it, I hadn't looked at him that closely and thought I had 71004-8 William Shakespeare without accessories but it is 8834-14 Actor, thanks! And I thought the presence of that skull was a coincidence :-D
    EDIT: goes for almost as much as I paid for the entire bag on bricklink too :-)

    ^ I had no idea he was sought after.  How odd.  Relatedly, I don’t recognize that numbering.  To what site do those apply?

    That’s just the normal set numbering for CMFs. #71004 is the Lego Movie series, so #71004-8 is Shakespeare. #8833 is series 8 (8834 is a typo).
