LEGO Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if I can buy the nameplates for the architecture sets online anywhere?

I am not good at MOCing things from scratch (modding official sets is as good as I get?) I was wondering if there are any reputable MOCers that will MOC me up a set if I pay them. What i'm looking for is a Microscale model of the USS Stark or just a set of instructions. I looked at the moc shop on bricklink but it looks to be dead.

Hi all, I am owning all Town City themes from 2004 onwards except of Fire and Police sets, from these both themes I have only few. Nevertheless there are still around 300 sets and several repeated themes like (City Guards 3 times, Airplane 4 times etc...) What would be the best option to build a large LEGO city display in your opinion? Should I include only one of the repeated themes and exchange it after a while or would you include them all at one time into display? It would be difficult for me to decide for one theme and sell all the other related without using them (at least temporarily) in my display. (By the way I am not sure how much place do I …

I was wondering how to handle a shipment from eBay. I have not experienced this before. I get this message after he payed for a lot of 3 of the same items. The first request I can do but i'm not sure if i'm reading the 2nd one correctly. "Thank you for your accepting my offer. I would like to ask you two things mentioned below when you make shipment of the item. 1. I would like to receive the items as beautiful as it can be. Please pack the items firmly so that it does not hurt. 2. I let you know the postal code of the receiver as 34249, but it seems that some delivery agency cannot register this number as postal code. In such case, please make shipment with the alt…

I recently purchased a large store display and on the back there is a place where I can plug in a 5V AC Power Adapter. However, I'm having troubles actually finding the right type of adapter that fits the plug. Before I go out and buy something, could someone point me in the right direction on the type of Power Adapter that typically works for these larger Store Display's.

Title says it all.....

I have a cousin graduating high school that has managed not to enter his dark ages yet.? I am going to be giving him a 21309 and am planning on MOCing an inspirational quote to go in front of it. So far I have: "Always shoot for the moon....... it IS possible" "Aim for moon ..... you might reach it" "Shoot for the moon, if you miss you are in the stars" and I am looking for looking for others. Any suggestions?

I have been scrolling and can not find a value on a 6901 lego land space system set. This is a unopened box with plastic still around it. No holes in the plastic etc. there are 123 pieces in this set.

So today I was able to sell a Lego Carousel 10196 for $1300. Not bad at all. The problem is I don't like to ship outside the U.S, id have to ship to Hong Kong. To avoid shipping problems, but then again I only had 1 bid on my auction. So I'm afraid if I relist, I'll get less then $1300. Does anybody use Usps to ship prize the U.S. Or have stories that my put me at ease, thanks. Btw, I clearly stated in my auction that I dont ship internationally.

While cleaning out some boxes in storage recently, I came across two LEGO pieces that my wife got about a decade ago from a friend. She had completely forgotten about them, and we knew nothing about them other than where they came from. I have the male and female Nvidia LEGO keychains from E3 in 2005. I tried to do some research on them to learn more them, but there was a surprisingly small amount of info on the internet. All I learned was that they were a promotional give away at E3. The only real article on them that I could find said that they were "extremely rare", and currently there is only one of them listed on eBay, and it's just for the male. Anyways, c…

I'm currently trying to figure out for four days now what that lego piece I have the arrow pointing to any help with this would be appreciated thank you

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.

Hello. I'm new here and seeking some advice. My son is wanting to sell some of his Legos. I am having a yard sale this coming weekend and am trying to decide whether or not to add them in the sale. He has various product lines--space police, alien conquest, Star Wars etc. They are in tubs but I'm not sure if all the tubs are sorted by product line and all the pieces are there. Some manuals are available. These tubs were used just to keep different lines separated. Sizes of the tubs vary from shoe box size and 25qt. Should I cut my losses and sell them as is at a yard sale? If so, what would be a good price? Or clean/sort and potentially rebuild them or sell…

Picture below. I'm pretty certain that I have Dark Bluish Gray on the bottom and Dark Gray above those, but the two in the middle that are off-centered, what are these? They seem lighter than the Dark Gray around them unless I have my colors wrong?? These are my 1st Dark Gray and later on I'm sure I'll have a question about LIght Gray. Thanks for the help.

Hello everyone, I am going to visit Paris on this weekend and I am hoping to buy some sets from LEGO Store located in Les Halles. I am trying to call them for last 3 days but an automated message tells me that the number is wrong. Can someone help me with a solution? The number I am calling is : +33 1 49 27 94 25

I wonder, as EU citizen, and the Netherlands in particular, the benefits of exporting lego to other nations in the EU or abroad, like a hobby trader with few amounts It seems a lot of duty fees are set, not to mention shipping costs. Is there any trade route that doesnt eat up all your profit right away? I question if the differences in retailer prices can be exploited in this way. , so one should wait for articles to get real collectors value to be worth of exporting? sincerly CZ

I purchased 3825 (Krusty Krab) off a local CL seller. It has the older style box with no seals, but rather "punch holes"???? Anyways, on one of the box seams, I noticed a little glue residue which appears a little out of place. The box weight is 488 grams, so that checks out. I don't want to open the box, as it's in real nice condition, but may be forced to do so unless I can get some verification that a little bit of sloppy box glue may be normal. As you can see, the glue is at the right edge of the "punch hole"

Hello my (new) friends I was wondering if you know if these value packs were US Exclusives only: 1506 Town Value Pack (1528 Dragster+1572 Super Tow Truck) . Were 1528 and 1572 ever released by themselves (not in Value pack) ? 1967-2 Town Value Pack (6633 Family Car: Only found in pack+6653+6656) - US release 1675 Legoland Triple Pack (1875+1876+1877=Crusader's Cart - US release=1680) Do these sets exist only in the USA box? Were they a US release only, and so the European box does not exist? 1489 Mobile Car Crane 6591 Nitro-Dragsters 6387 Coastal Rescue Base 6046 Hemlock Stronghold 6079 Dark Forest Fortress Tha…

For the past year or so, I've been shipping from different post offices, depending on what I'm doing at work on that day. Most of the time I don't have any problems, I search for the best deal for shipping my items, print the label, whack it on the box and drop at the most convenient post office. Item sells yesterday to a Greek buyer, printed the label through PayPal at £15. I entered the weight and dimensions as usual, calculated cost, bought shipping, no problems arise. Fast forward to this morning, dropping box of at a place I'd used before but normally avoid as I had a few problems with them in the past. Usual smiley looking c***head watches me coming to th…

Just wondering is anyone has seen a bag like this before and what it may be worth? I've had it since 1984 and have no idea what it may be worth. Its in good condition. Thanks

Hello. While making our inventory (I always look at brikipedia for the background information about the set ) I noticed that there are classes ? Cild being I never wondered about such things but now AFOL I'm curious....

Looking for the head brick which could replace the yellowish white Lewis Hamilton head from my newly purchased 75883. I''m open for any suggestion, which head could eventualy replace the default head of Lewis Hamilton from this set since the original one is so inaccurate. Someone suggested me NBA heads but their faces looks amusing and won't match with the other figs from this theme/set, I have currently FInn from Takodana set but he is completely shaved and Lando Carlisiani is wearing moustaches. Does anyone know from where I can source head which might be the closest to the actual Lewis Hamilton face? Many Thanks.

I have been buying sets for years that had destroyed boxes, and or no boxes (from lost and damaged shipment auctions) for years. Initially I didnt think much about the boxes (except those I paid retail for). Now I have big boxes (20x20x20), and tubs (30gal) full of sealed bags, that are sort of sorted like "City" or Start wars, or Lego movie, etc. I do have sets that are pristine that are sealed and stored in plastic tubs that are in my "collecting" group. In any case what would be your next step? Just sort them? Keep them in their bags. For example I have 6 30gal tabs, and about 5 20x20x20 boxes just labeled "City". Mix of sealed bags from everything from…

Hi all Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere on forums. Haven't be able to find anything but please post link if it exists. So far all of my Lego investments are stored in the delivery boxes they arrived in. Half of these are direct from Lego SaH so are well packaged IMO. When storing should I leave them in the delivery boxes or take them out? Also should I be storing them on their ends or flat and on top of each other? Cheers Greg
