    Thanks, I think the bottom right baseplate is from 6090 as well?

    Yes, I'm not sure what number I meant to write when I wrote 6291. #6090 looks possible.

    Not enough tan/dark tan for there to be anything close to a complete Jabba's Palace. 

    I do see a sail in the bottom left. Maybe from #627 Caribbean Clipper? I see rigging in the middle/right side. Seems to be lots of the correct colors as well for the remainder of the ship.

    I think that sail is from #6280 Armada Flagship.

    I’ve just built #6090 and can confirm there’s at least two of the baseplates used for that set underneath all those bricks.

    The triceratops body might mean something like #5987 Dino Research Compound is there too, broken up.

    How do I tell if this is genuine or not...

    Cannot find a Lego logo, just "3338 03" on one side..

    The prominent mold number and mold mark on the neck make me strongly doubt it’s Lego.

    So, the piece is clearly modeled after the baby Norbert piece, which is a legit piece, but Rebrickable has a picture of the left profile of the piece here that show no mold marks on the neck or tail like the one shown.  However, that doesn't mean that they didn't necessarily change the mold later on.

    The the bricklink pictures don’t show the mold marks either, but they are small pics.

    Hi all! 

    Since this is my first post in this community, I'd like to say hi to all of you.

    I got here since I'm trying to identify the designer (and best, obtain an instruction) for the MOC set I literally found in the garage of the apartment I just bought. 

    It is a warship with a helicopter, it contains Star Wars printed elements, and I think it might have been built from an actual LEGO Star Wars set.

    I went through many MOC designers, however I was never able to find who designed and built it.

    Please see the links below.
    Many thanks!

    If it is dark (bluish) grey, it is almost certainly fake.

    Do you mean the overall set? I wouldn't say it's bluish, but I definitely think it might be fake. Although the quality of the bricks (and I spent hundreds of hours with LEGOs, mainly star wars in the past) is in my opinion flawless, and LEGO like quality. 

  • 560Heliport560Heliport Member Posts: 3,910
    It's not a set, it's just something someone built. It must not have been very important to the builder, since they left it behind. 
  • dangerousdavedangerousdave Member Posts: 4
    Yup, by the "set" I meant the whole thing. I'm aware it is not a set, but I'm certainly sure that no one could have just built it, as the level of complexity and planning is stunnig, there are hidden and visible features everywhere, hence I'm having some hopes on finding the designer and buying an instruction. Or maybe somebody was a plain genius and just built it :)

    I was replying to the Norbert part. Your post was only 2 minutes before mine, it wasn't there when I was typing.

    Why would you think someone couldn’t have “just built” it? That’s exactly what many MOC designers spend hours/weeks/months doing. Many use design software like stud.io to try things out and plan a design before doing it “in the brick”.

    You are exactly right, that's what I meant by "just built it", and hence I do have some hopes on obtaining the instruction from the designer, as I would love to take it apart and build it again. I can see that lots of time went into this design and I wish I could rebuild it, but not having an instruction leaves me unable to take it apart which makes mi sad.

    Can anyone identify any of the parts in the photo? I was given a box of mixed Lego; there seem to be a lot of Friends sets but potentially some other things too. Everything in the photo apart from the mushroom-like piece has “Lego” branded on it, so I think it’s all genuine, but there are some other brick brands in the box so it’s possible some pieces are fake.

    I put the big eye onto the tan piece just to show the size (I’ve only ever seen 1x1 eyes before); obviously I don’t need the tan piece identified.

    Thanks!

    The target and the red mushroom are found in Merida's Highland Games, if that helps.

    Any help with the following? The black torso and legs are clearly Star Wars, I just went over all the officers and gunners and didn't spot this one. I don't know if the white head is legit Lego or not.

    Thanks for your help!
  • 560Heliport560Heliport Member Posts: 3,910
    @flord the white head is from the Agents theme, Mission Deep Freeze subtheme from 2004; that piece was in all eight sets.

    Make your own instructions as you take it apart (because it appears to be in desperate need of cleaning too).

    I recently unpacked some MOCs that I made in 1996 and 1997.  I'm going to disassemble them and return the pieces to the original sets, but I used Stud.io to create a digital build (and then instructions) of these sets first.  It's nice to have a digital record of these in case I (or my son) ever want to re-assemble them.  I've posted copies on Rebrickable as a backup...and so everyone else can enjoy them too.  (I could have made improvements and some obvious piece replacements, but kept the digital models 100% accurate to my original 1990s builds.)

    Those stickered tiles with studs, the window and the 2 x 4 tile are from #41005 Heartlake High, the LURP is from a Town Divers set, possibly #6559 Deep Sea Bounty.

    The purple bricks might be from #41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel. The surfing stickered tile probably Friends too. Gold dish doesn’t look like a legit Lego part.
  • 560Heliport560Heliport Member Posts: 3,910
    The purple bricks are from #41077 Aira's Pegasus Sleigh, an Elves set. They're Medium Lavender, not Medium Lilac- Lego's names.

    Pretty sure that gold dish a couple posts up is Playmobil. I've gotten dozens of Playmobil pieces out of second hand Lego lots - at least I can add those to the Playmobil collection the kids have so not a total loss unlike some other things you can find in such lots :-)

    Yeah, that’s what I thought too, the design language is just different enough for it to be recognisable.

  • WhyNotSmileWhyNotSmile Member Posts: 6
    Thanks! Yeah, the dish could be Playmobil. There’s definitely some Elves stuff in the box, so that would make sense for the purple to be from there.

    Any ideas on the green bit?

    Another fun fact- if any letters are.involved those are often the designer initials.

    That green bit is part 3688 (assuming I'm seeing the 2x2x2 size correctly). It has been used in 11 total sets, 9 of which it was the top of a tree of some sort, usually of the Christmas variety. 

    Most of the uses were in Friends foil packs or Friends Advent Calendars. Perhaps one of those makes most sense with the rest of the Friends pieces you have?

    An advent calendar would make sense because I’ve got a few random things like a penguin, skis and some hockey sticks that don’t seem to fit with an actual set.

    I’m not sure this is the right place to post this, but….

    Just looking through some parts on BaP on Lego after the new changes. Looking at element 6064834/ design I.D. 70885 Hippo. It has no picture on the Lego website and it doesn’t seem to exist here or on Bricklink (although I find Bricklink a nightmare to navigate). Can anyone help me out please ? Is it just a duplo hippo or some random part with a strange name ? It’s £18 odd so seems expensive.

    Oooh interesting. The last duplo hippon was 2020 so seems unlikely that they would be stocking that.


    With lego's strange termology it could very possibly be some hippo looking brick (??) but you may have stumbled onto the next City Wildlife set, hippo seems a logical next step.

    They also have blue forestmen hats in stock (from the cmf) so I'm secrectly hoping that's for some castle themed 90th doodad.

    I was hoping the same. With Lego animal pricing increases, £18 could be about right for a new regular hippo ? A hippo or rhino or something similar seems plausible for the next safari type animal too. 

    I figured if it was a strange random brick then surely at that price it would have to be mechanical and someone on here would point it out.

    Alas, I’ve been messaged by another member who said it’s the DUPLO hippo just packaged as a whole, hence the lack of an element number etc. 

    I’ve learnt some things about Bricklink at least and that DUPLO animals are super expensive. Good spot on the hat too, hopefully it’s not just a straight rehash of the CMF coming our way.

    Hi! Brand new member here. I assumed that this was a bit more involved than the general brick identification thread, and thus made a separate thread about it.

    A few years ago I took it upon myself to sort and sell our familys LEGO collection. Lots of 80s and 90s sets from when me and my brothers were young, but also some that obviously were from my parents youth. The older pieces i put aside, and this thread is mainly about identifying things about them. While I will be selling everything it won't be in this thread. 

    https://imgur.com/a/ecTfo96

    The standout piece is the marbled baseplate. No LEGO markings on the studs, but I have seen a few other similar examples while searching. Anything more to tell about it? Good condition? Anyone with a better eye than me that can use the observations here to tell anything?: https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/22052488091/

    The Bageri sign is noteworthy for not being on Bricklink (as far as I've seen), just german and danish ones. Anything known about that? As rare as that makes it seem? I have since seen two other examples on Flickr.

    Anything else that stands out to people in the know? I'll supply more pictures if you wish.


    After my own attempts of googling for clarity there are several people that I would love to hear from: The first two I know are on this forum, anyone with contact info to the others?

    You have some of the early Geas Prima bricks that were licensed by LEGO for production for the Swedish market. These are the slotted bricks without logo and the marbled baseplate that goes with it.

    Quoting Gary Istok https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/77152-unknown-lego-sets/

    Early 1954-56 PRIMA sets... These sets appear to have been produced by NORSKE LEGO A/S of Oslo Norway, an early producer of LEGO parts for Norway and Sweden. Why a PRIMA named set that had all the LEGO parts and brochures and box types, but with the PRIMA name (and not LEGO)... this mystery has never been explained. I talk about this in Chapter 2 of my LEGO DVD/download (early LEGO sets). The entire reason for PRIMA's existence is shrouded in mystery... neither TLG nor Norske LEGO has any information on these sets, which sometimes have parts with the LEGO logo, and an exact duplicate of the LEGO catalog. (down to the set designs and parts packs)... but with a PRIMA logon on the box and brochure. The only real oddity is that the parts are not made of Cellulose Acetate, but Polystyrene...

    I think that @DeMontes has pretty much covered it all... although in the many years since some of my posts there have been a few pieces of information that can be added.

    Geas Automatic Binding Bricks and PRIMA bricks are both productions of GEAS KONSTHARTS of Gislaved Sweden.  The first was sold from 1950-53, the latter from 1953-55.

    Also, the thin 10x20 bricks sold by the Norwegian LEGO Subsidiary...  called A/S Norske LEGIO... used mainly 10x20 baseplates that were nailed to a wooden base.  These all have this type of bottom...



    And were nailed to a wooden base...



    That was 1953-54.  In 1954 the thick 10x20 regular baseplate was introduced in Norway... but sometimes in some amazing colors... such as this one in a trans-blue color...

    Thank you so much Demontes and Istokg! You have been very helpful :-)

    For those interested I've dropped auction links in the Marketplace. I hope that they will find good new homes :-)
