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?

Hello, I have an old lego train of 40 years old, where can I see the value of how much it is worth now if I would sell it? I was recommended to see the value at this website.

I purchased Star Wars Captain Rex's AT-TE at GoodWill. At quick glance it seemed that all the bags were sealed and in the box. When I got home I noticed I was missing bag number 4. Is there a way to buy bag 4 or do I just need to buy the pieces individually?

Picked up a Death Star 75159. Seller shipped it without any box so it arrived absolutely trashed with packing tape all over it. I'm trying to figure out if it's all present. Does anyone have any recommendations or knowledge on what is contained inside the outer box? I have 2 unmarked bags and 4 bags for #5, #7, #9 and #10. Along with the 3 white boxes which should include the other bags along with the manual. So basically 16 marked bags and 2 unmarked. Plus the 3 white boxes, all of which appear to be factory sealed. I tried watching a bunch of unboxing videos but can't seen to find one that lays out just what's inside just the outer box.

I want to build a super big Lego model for the store. Is there anyone who can help me design the drawings?

Not sure where to post this. Wondering if anyone has info on 2021 GWP for January 1st and if there is any gift exclusive to in store only. Trying to decide if there is anything worth planning to get right away.

I'm rebuilding sets out of bulk lots I purchased this year use bricklink's inventory. I typically include the extra pieces in case I ever resell as I would consider that complete. But is it worth it? Should I just ditch including the extra pieces?

Is there a place where I can download set information? Set number, Year, Name, RRP, I would love to get the amazon ASIN, URLs, etc too, but that's a pipe dream I think.

Just wondering, I’ve not paid attention to them on prior years but are the LEGO advent calendars the same items each year?

ok, i mentioned it on here when the news broke about the re-release or the saturn v & ship in a bottle. have lego broken advertising laws by misleading the consumer? they have advertised a set as retiring soon, then retired only to re release it within a year? "its now or never, here is your last chance to buy these sets before they are gone forever' both these sets was advertised with this. now those who say what about taj and others etc, they are all different builds, these 2 re released ideas sets are said to be the EXACT same build? Under the Consumer Protection Act 2007, advertising is seen as misleading if it involves false, misleading …

(not sure where to put this topic) Is anyone else attending the online AFOL Day today (9/24)? My alarm is set for 4:15AM PST

Hi all, Is there a recommended source for "replica" stickers of Lego sets that are no longer available or too expensive to purchase on BL or similar? Mainly asking about older sets and UCS stickers. There are just so many out there that i was wondering if there is a reputable site/provider that you all can recommend. Thanks!

Hello everyone. First time poster here. I've been buying some Lego sets when I can find a nice discount since the end of 2018, and so far I've been keeping them aside (sold only 3 city sets so far at ~20% profit). Yesterday in a shop close to me I noticed they had the 60228 (2019's Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control) on sale at 60€ with its original price being the same as in the Lego website at 110€, and I bought it for my son. We just finished building it and it's pretty cool, with a lot of "special" parts that aren't very common (at least I don't see them much, but I could be wrong, since I'm still a noob in this). Here's what's crossing my mind: …

I bought this today assuming had long been opened. Then looking closer I notice the tape –very yellowed and poorly aged– hasn't been cut. This does not look like something that would have been at retail but since I don't know how these were originally packaged and sold in 1977, I figured I'd ask you experts before I open it up. On the unlikely chance this is actually legitimately sealed. Thanks for the help. I've been a long-time LEGO fan and a casual collector. It's always nice to learn more about my one of my favorite companies.

We are tearing the back of the house off so that I can build a big lego city in a new basement... (my wife will tell you we are doing it to add a family room and a laundry...) Anyhoo, I have to move and store for 3-4 months, built sets, modulars, mechs, etc. I was thinking about buying 12"x12"x18" boxes and stashing them in there, expecting some rebuilding to need to happen. Does anyone else have a suggestion?

I bought lego treehouse 21318 from amazon, sold & shipped. Was excited on its arrival, but noticed that the seal tag does NOT have any code. Is this normal? The box is good condition, have a crease on on side. Should I be of concern of the no seal code and box condition? Enclosed is pic of the seal tag.

We have a number of Lego sets including Duplo such as the various Thomas The Tank sets and we're looking to sell these but in the current CV19 climate we're not sure if the normal means (i.e. using Lego specific websites ) or if we're better off garage selling these. The items we're trying to sell like the Thomas The Train do not have the boxes or instructions but they are complete and the bricks are in very good condition and we are a smoker free household; these bricks have never known smoke. Attached is an image I took of one of the containers that we have the Thomas The Tank Train sets in while we're organizing the Lego/Play room. We are re-organizing the Legos/Duplos…

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

Back in my younger days I was a huge lego collector and fortunately I have stored each of my sets with their original instructions. A friend of mine brought it to my attention that a lot of my Star Wars set are probably worth something. I've been doing some research and it looks like most of my sets have seen a price increase since when I purchased them. Now most of my sets had been purchased between the years of 2004-2011. My question is when should I sell these sets? Have their prices plateaued or are they going to continue to increase? Will their prices decrease if I hold on to them too long? I would love to hear from some input from more experienced lego sellers!

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

(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

Hello! I just wanted to start this topic, because this Sets offers a lot of interesting pieces and a whole lot of opportunities for alternativs builds! My Son and me just build a beach house on stilts on the beach. Looking forward for your Ideas, because most of us have.....time.
