LEGO Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if light bulbs will effect fading on my displayed lego? Right now I just put a shelf up in my office to display my imperial flagship, Hogwarts, and my Arkham asylum. I am worried if these will fade since pretty close to a ceiling can light using a florescent bulbs. Will these have any effect, should I switch to Led bulbs. Any information or experience would be greatly appreciated. Derek

So before Christmas someone sent me a link to a Facebook ad for Harry Potter LEGO on sale. I followed the link and it looked legit, so I took a chance against my better judgement and ordered what I thought was going to be 75954: Hogwarts Great Hall, and 71043: Hogwarts Castle. After not receiving my order (or getting any communication from the vendor) for over a month, I filed a claim with my bank. In the time it took them to process the claim I received the order... shipped directly from China. We all know what that means: bogus bricks... So, I tried to contact the seller, but the website was gone and the phone number disconnected. I fell for their scam (hence the "stupi…

New to the site. How can I upload a list of my inventory and keep track of price changes or even keep track of the estimated value? I plan to keep them for a long time but I do from time to time buy some for resell. And i know of similar sites for the Pops that you can do this.

Hey guys, I wanted to get some advice from you experts. I recently purchased a lego from target. It has a target Security Sticker on it. I tried to remove it with hair dryer, but was not unsuccessful. I partially removed it, but once I saw the tape removed a tiny speck of paint I stopped away. If I leave the security sticker would it affect the price in anyway if I decide to sell it later? Thank you all in advance.

I will be moving in the next year and half back to the mainland. How do you guys move with completed sets? How do you store them? I have started working on a small city using mostly creator 3-1 sets and houses. I am thinking about stopping these builds knowing that I have to move next year, it almost seems pointless. I have some SW sets that I can build in the meantime and I am sure other builds will come up too. Just not sure if working on the city makes sense. Do I tear all the buildings I have already built down or do I just try to pack them and store them in a container?

Hello, I'm waiting to hear back from ITD orders for approval. But I have a few questions for anyone who's had an ITD account: 1. How much do they discount the sets? 10%, 15%, 40%? 2. Is there a minimum order quantity? 3. How long does an order take to arrive? 4. What are the buying requirements when purchasing sets? 5. Can I buy a few sets of a certain theme, and a few sets from other themes? Or just one or two themes? 6. Is there a yearly minimum order quantity that I have to meet each year? I'm a online subscription business, and I would use ITD for my inventory. I would be shipping LEGO sets every month to my subscribers. …

i want to invest in some new lego as a financial investment. what do you think the best current sets are to buy and keep boxed as an investment?

After the holidays are over, I’m curious do you leave your holiday sets together or take them apart to build again the following year?

Hi: I am looking for Lego pieces that would represent sandbags.....I have searched but cannot find anything even close...Advice would be appreciated! Thanks...

I am looking to get either the Red Leader X-Wing, the Sandcrawler, the Slave I, or the TIE fighter UCS. Which one is the best in build and appearance?

I have this old LEGO set that I was given and I have put is away as I don't want it damaged. However the pictures that I find have two very different images for the same item. I have been trying to find out a average value for this set. Mine is the very plain one with two figures and the snack bar sign. Unfortunately as I was quite young I no longer have the instructions or box for this model. The other model has two bikes, a coke machine and three figures. Plus it comes with extra base plates. Is the difference in the sets due to it being purchased in either Australia or UK? Hope someone can help? Thanks

I recently bought a few minifigures and notice there were vent holes in the head and the logo was a lil different.... Are these fakes

I've noticed on a few sets on Amazon, there is an option to purchase the set with "frustration-free packaging." I'm assuming I should stay away from these if I'm looking to resell the set, but we all know what happens when you assume so I figured I would ask. What do you guys think?

Hello People. New to the forum but happy to find it. I've have a number of LEGO items that were given to me at least 20 years ago by a manager of LEGO in Enfield CT. They have for the most part sitting in a closet never opened. One in particular I have not been able to find any info on. A LEGO Master Watch from 1997. What is the value and why haven't I been able to find anything about it? Any help would be appreciated. I attached some pics. Thank you in advance. j12

Not that I’m trying to get him, just curious.

Hey guys, I've gotten in to designing and building MOC's only recently and have been loving the speed champions series so I wanted to make something in the same sort of style. However for the car I am currently designing to work I need to use piece 50745 (the lego city type of wheel arches) for some colouring detail. Now in LDD (Lego Digital Designer) they allow me to use the speed champions style of wheels (part: 18976 with rubber part: 18977) underneath these, however I can see a little bit of clipping. This might just be due to it being low poly models (low detail). Now I was wondering if someone could test in real life wether or not these wheels would fit or…

I'm sure there's already an answer, but I don't know where to look. I have decided to Frankenstein my very own Green Grocer 10185. I am curious to know if there is a way to cross reference the inventory of a specific set vs. the pieces on my wish list. For example, I have a 10197 Creative Tower. I would like to use a function to find which pieces I should pull out to put towards my project. Is there a mechanism for this already? Via Bricklink or elsewhere? Please advise. Thanks!

I just saw a post on Instagram showcasing some knockoff BrickHeadz models, and whaddya know! Two of them are very similar if not directly taken from mine! The originals are here, click the pics and they should take you to the MONTHS OLD pictures Does anyone know if I can do anything about this?

I have a 1999 promo R2-D2 I won at target. I was 9 it has been in storage for 25 years and I’m just curious what they are worth?

Hi, I picked up a Lego Star Wars Death Star 10188 as a store return. All four boxes are present. Box 1, 2 are factory sealed. Box 4 is open with 11 bags in it that have the number 7 on them. The box seems to be full. Box 3 also seems opened so I would be looking for number of bags there as well. I am wondering if anyone can tell me if this is the complete contents of boxes 3 and 4. Thank you, Terri

Hello! Each Christmas my wife and I participate in the "Angel Tree" project by buying gifts for children whose parents are in prison. This year I immediately focused on one for a 14 year-old male who desires LEGO. The gift has to be valued at $25-$30. So I need to fight my desire to use Kmart Voodoo and get a $60 set since the goal is that all children (when there are multiple in a family) feel like they are being treated equally. With that said, I'm not 100% sure I know what a 14 year-old male would be interested in. I feel like that is too old for Ninjago. Am I wrong? Was leaning towards Super Heroes or maybe Star Wars. The price range has me look…

I have some old Legos of my husband’s. I saw a blue brick with LL 928 on it. There is also a spaceman minifig. Not sure how much more of that set is in the box. I was planning to just sell the bags for a bulk price per pound. Any advice? My 2 photos failed to upload for some reason. Thank you!

Hello all, I am new to this forum, however, not new to the world of F1 or Legos. I am interested in getting the Lego 8458 F1 Technic Car. - I have heard that it's loosely based off of the McLaren MP4/14. - So my question is how would I go about finding or creating custom stickers/decals for this build?

Lego is relaunching 21309 and 76020 in November 2020 and January of next year. Will the prices drop instantly?
