LEGO Questions & Answers

Hello. I recently bought a lot of Legos from at least the 1960s, perhaps earlier, but there are some pieces that have elongated studs and have no circular studs; the studs are just 2 horizontal lines. Also, they have an S-like marking on the top that is shaped like a duck on wheels. Can't find the marking anywhere on the internet. Can some help?

Is a list somewhere of dates when older sets were retired? This seems like an important metric since that is when the CAGR starts going up. But I can't find historic retirement dates for most sets.

HI All Just wondering.. How much do you think Lego without the original box effects the second hand price? Obviously if its all there but no box - the play factor is still there. But for a serious collector - Would they even consider it?

Any info appreciated on likely inventory, yard sale find. No inventory on BrickLink thanks.

Why does Lego state early purchase of new sets for VIP memebers only and when you go to Toys r Us they are on the selves?

I have 501st decals that are apply-ready and I'm deciding about getting clones. If I were to get 10 Ep. 3 clones from Bricklink, and then add them to my other 7 501st clones would that be a decent battalion?

(I tried to post this earlier and wasn’t sure if it went though. If this is a duplicate I apologize!) We received a box of old duplo legos from a family member and had these doors (see pic). Anyone know what set these are from? He said he remember them being with pieces that make tunnel-like things and you could roll a ball though them and the ball would hit these doors and open them. (Not a great description, sorry!) Any ideas? Thank you! -Ally

Does anyone here use Amazon's Mechanical Turk to earn money towards Lego purchases? I used to be quite active and slowed down but it is another way to earn money to support your Lego habits.

Hey, I am clearing out a bunch of my old sets. I have been working for the past month to find all the pieces to each of them so I can sell them as full sets. Seeing as they are mostly good condition used sets that still have instructions, what time of the year would be the best time to sell? Thanks for any help! Thanks, camharvey

Seems LEGO can't do much against people selling the AUSINI Lego clone. Hard to imagine since they clearly are copying licensed material. I wondered if anyone has any experience with buying these Ausini figures and want to share what they think about the quality. Since LEGO nor the second hand sites Ausini-boy is flooding wants to do anything about it, I thought about writing a blog about it and spreading it. Except for a certain Beanmeister22, whose voice still rings thru my head and which I,with this post, also nominate for the most annoying youtube channel presenter, I can't find a single decent review of this Ausini material on the net. So if anyone can help.…

Hello, I have started running a Bricklink store over the past few months and I am growing well and making very good sales but I need some advice on how I can accurately figure profits. I keep great books and have all my costs/sales kept track of but when I am parting out there is no way to figure just one set when I sell individual parts. So as I sell, I am continually buying new sets with the money that comes out so essentially no matter how much I sell it appears as though I am losing money when truly I am just growing. Any advice on how I could actually figure a true profit amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi There I was wondering if anyone new the value of this car? Thanks

We have an NXT 2.0 all cords, most of the pieces, instructions, and stickers; used about 5 times, with the brain of course, and my son does not know what to ask for it? Anyone have any sound advice? Thanks!

My Brickfolio is in dollars. It's telling me it's set to GBP which is what I want it set at, but it's showing in dollars. I'm inputting prices in GBP and it's giving me value in dollars thus rendering it useless. Anyone know what to do?

Hey guys.. I can’t seem to find what set or what theme these minifigs are from. Two are starwars I know, but no idea which set. Any help would be appreciated.

I don`t know how much this set is and just want some clarification.

Hi, I've never purchased a retired set before but would really like to get a UCS Slave I. I've found one on Bricklink in my country but it has "loose seals". The seller has supplied a video which with my little experience looked fine to me but I don't want to chance it since the seals do look very weird! (https://youtu.be/3YdW_g1aedo) https://store.bricklink.com/bricknationtoys?itemID=315127405#/shop?o={"invID":"315127405"} Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated, never used Bricklink before but am familiar with it. Thanks in advance!

I used to be able to find the original retail value of a set on Brickpicker. Anyone know how I can find that information? Thanks

Here's my dumb, newbie question. What's the fastest way to find a specific piece I need... say a silly white hinge for my passenger airplane? I'd like to buy it so my $150 plane can be complete :-)

How to remove the bottom part of the tricycle (engine) from the body? Has anyone separated them successfully? and how did you do it?

Hey guys! I've found a guy selling a few of his legos for about 250 cad and I was wondering if it's worth it. He's got the sets: 8961, 7743, 7287, 8077, 2260, 8078, 8864, 2263, 9446 and 6175. None of these are in boxes. He's missing the 1st instruction book for 8864 and the one for 6175. Also, he's got a broken rotating piece on 8961. is it worth it? I've used the lot calculator but the price given to me doesn't include the broken pieces and missing instructions so I thought some of you guys could help . Thanks Narkk

Can anyone provide me information on where I can access a Philadelphia 76ers LEGO arena kit? Thanks!
