Help identify this unknown piece - black police torso, but it has the LEGO logo printed on the middle of the front
I've been looking on Bricklink for a while now, but I haven't found this piece yet, so I'm wondering if anyone knows what it is based on its description: it's a black police torso, but it has the LEGO logo printed on the middle of the front of the torso.

Welcome to Bricks.SE! I'm not familiar with a torso that fits that description. It may be helpful to add a photo to your question to help folks better identify this element.

Oddly enough, "Lego" is a difficult word to use to search for these things :-) To save others from searching, my googling for torso "lego pattern" and torso "lego and" pattern have not found it. Though there are some cool Lego House and Lego World 2012 torsos on BrickLink. A picture is definitely the way to go, here.

Here's a picture of the piece, still not sure what it is on Bricklink

Oh, I think I found it. It's from this keychain https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=101212

This is either from 2011's Flashlight, Dynamo Torch - Motor Police (which is not a minifig but rather a 20cm-high figurine with a flashlight inside a leg, and a crank in a shoulder)...

...or, as user @bgeorge has pointed out in a comment, Mini Torch Minifigure Flashlight Key Chain Police

Keep in mind that keychain minifigs are different from standard minifigs, and so the torso cannot be separated from the legs or head.

Does anybody know what this is? bag 3, black, light grey, red Technic bricks, large gold wheels
All I know is that it’s from 2011 bag 3 and I found number 135149 on it..

76012-1 Batman: The Riddler Chase
Based on Red Technic, Brick 1 x 2 with Holes with Light Bluish Gray Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom - only 5 sets. And one of them looked just right, so I grabbed the color and wheel code from that one. And it fit!

Dang, I was going the other way and looking for the unique-ish wheels (which ended up being hard to find) so I was too slow. Found them but your answer popped up while I was still composing. Good work :)

So many wheels look pretty much the same to me. I find it frustrating to be half-done an answer and find someone else has already posted it, so I usually just post the answer as soon as I have it, and then go back and edit it with pictures and links and justification, so that it doesn't waste anyone else's time. I didn't here. Sorry. I would prefer there to be a way to lock an answer for a few minutes to avoid this, but that's not the Stack Exchange way.

Is this "moon buggy" an official Lego set?
This six-wheeled "moon buggy" has been in approximately this form in our Lego box since the 1980s. Is it from / based on an official Lego set or something my brother made up?

The distinctive parts of that build are 4288 Wheel Full Rubber Balloon with Axle Hole and 3787 Vehicle, Mudguard 2 x 4 with Arch Smooth (in old grey colour). They do appear in several classic space sets.
But a search for sets which contains both of these parts together tells us that your buggy is not an official set.

questions on an Assembly Square fountain redesign
I'd like to reproduce the fountain posted here
Can anyone identify the parts used to make the wide blue/water rims on the 2nd and bottom level?
Also, how do I attach the squiggly water bursts on the 3rd level?

According to the YouTube link, the squiggly water bursts are just held by friction - they're not clipped in to anything.
The blue layers are just normal dishes (of different sizes, of course).

thanks - I missed the youtube link.

Has any non-Duplo LEGO set included Duplo components?
It’s not uncommon for LEGO Technic components to be included in LEGO builds - especially where motion or interaction is needed.
Has the same ever happened with a Duplo component being included in a ‘classic’ LEGO set? Perhaps using their extra size to help build up an area.
(In case clarification is needed, we can define Duplo components as being anything listed under Duplo in the LEGO pick-a-brick service. And any set not branded as Duplo or Technic can be considered a ‘classic’ LEGO set).

I feel I would be remiss if I did not mention such a near miss as set 30527 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=30527-1

Thanks for the comment @RSchulz - it's the closest to what I imagined - looking almost like an actual Duplo brick! Shame they didn't actual use Duplo pieces for it.

Does LEGO Serious Play count here?

Some of the bad guys in Lego Movie 2 were Duplo but when they made them into sets, they used actual Lego pieces instead. Go figure.

@MatthewGreen Yeah, but it makes sense when you consider that the target audience for The LEGO Movie 2 is beyond Duplo age, and would much rather have standard LEGO bricks that are inter-compatible with the rest of their collection. With that in mind, those sets achieved a pretty clever compromise if you ask me.

Not official sets, but: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/1156/which-duplo-bricks-have-practical-uses-in-system-building?rq=1

One instance I can think of is the 52 mm ball, usually used in the DUPLO Ball and Tube system, being present in a couple of "classic" sets. Most notably the Indiana Jones Temple Escape, 7623

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=41250&in=S

It's also present in quite a few Mindstorms and Technic sets, where it is usually used as an object to be grabbed by a gripping mechanism.

There was almost (probably) a Technic BIONICLE set with a Duplo tread piece.

That set would have been the Sand Tarakava (low-res, high-res, other), a smaller set that was meant to compliment the 8549 Tarakava set.

This prototype set was given to Saffire to develop the cancelled 2001 PC video game, and later changed hands.
Ultimately this set was not produced, so it's possible it would have undergone additional revisions if it had been. Changing the tread seems like it would have been a rather drastic change though, especially compared to the minor changes seen in other prototype models Saffire worked with.

Identify this figure - soccer shirt with a "VS" (or cut off "US") logo with soccer ball (football) on front, and "7" on back
Checked lots of different categories on BrickLink, but couldn't find anything on this figure, or even the torso by itself. Any help to get me closer to figuring out who this little guy is would be much appreciated!

My first guess would be that some fan of a sports team printed out its logo (or cut it out from a magazine or similar) and glued it onto a minifigure.

That sounds reasonable, but the 'stickers' are very similar to the type used in that era of minifigure (where the stickers put on torsos were often the type that would crack and peel with age).

Soccer Player White Team Player 5

This minifigure appeared only once in the 2002 set Grand Championship Cup - U.S. Men's Team Cup Edition (3425).

There are two sticker sheets included in the set (1, 2), the second sticker sheet shows the stickers used on the minifigures. However the sticker used is for player number 7, but BrickLink calls this minifig player 5 (which isn't a huge difference but possibly worth mentioning for identification).
The instructions don't provide any particular guidance as to which minifigure is which number, probably because none of them represent real football players. You probably couldn't find the exact Minifig on Bricklink because they use an image without the stickers.

Thank you very much for the informational and insightful answer! I figured it was one of those figures that isn't listed with sticker information (there are also some parts with that issue, especially in older sets with smaller 'sticker over assembly' builds). Anyway, now I know where he came from, much appreciated!

The "VS" is actually "US" and that is the logo used by US Soccer from 1995 to 2006. See history of crest logos here: https://news.sportslogos.net/2016/02/29/us-soccer-officially-unveils-new-crest/

Protecting a minifig from wear
I've purchased a few of the Lego keychain minifigs. Each time I've bought a new one was to replace the previous one because it had most or all of the paint rubbed off from going in and out of pockets and whatnot.
Here is my most recent example of the wear on my minifig keychain.

You can see that the mouth is almost completely missing.
Is there something that I can do to protect the paint and keep it from rubbing off?

I was going to say don't keep them in the same place as your keys but I realise how stupid that sounds. I'm just curious, do you know what Minifigure it is?

Yep, I have to say I've resigned myself to replacing my keychains every year or so as they tend to lose their hands and printing.

I actually lost a hand on this one and then my wife mysteriously found it in the back seat of her car a few months later. It's a shame they have to be replaced instead of just 'retired'.

This guide here (off-site backup) in the BrickJournal magazine has a section titled "Step Three: Protecting Your New Figure – Application of a clear top coat". It recommends Future’s floor wax or Badger overcoats and discourages the use of nail polish due to its tendency to yellow when exposed to sunlight.
They suggest applying two layers, each dried with a hair dryer to achieve a smooth, bubble-free surface.
Admittedly, these instructions are for display models, not figures that are going to endure the wear during play or everyday carrying along several keys, but these layers can be reapplied when they are damaged and will protect the figure and its paint while the overcoat is intact.

The link is 404

@JonasStein Thanks, I have no idea whether the error is transient or if the site is gone forever, so I have added another link to the same document stored on another site.

zovits recommends not using nail polish. I once had a chipped tile floor that I painted with nail polish. It stayed looking good for over 5 years. This was in a high-traffic part of my kitchen. The polish stayed shiny and prevented the tile from chipping further.
I suspect that a keychain probably isn't going to be sitting in the sun too much, but even so, the ABS plastic will discolour anyway, irrespective of the nail polish.

I would think a clear coat of paint would protect it fairly well, until the clear coat rubs off, so you may need to reapply periodically or apply multiple coats.  Just make sure whatever you use is approved for plastics and it should work fine.
A thin coating should still allow most of the joints to work, if that isn't a requirement you could apply a thicker coating of a clear epoxy.

Have you tried something like this? I figured this would be the answer but I was hoping to hear something a little more definitive with relation to using on a minifig of some kind.

http://www.customminifig.co.uk/custom-lego-painting-guide/
Here's someone that paints LEGO's. The seal they use should work for you. You should apply more coats for more protection.

How about sealer?
Yes, always. If you spend this much time working on something, you want it to last. Sealer should be the last thing you do to your custom, painted parts before they are complete. I recommend an acrylic matte finish, but some people use gloss for certain things (it is supposed to protect better). I personally don’t want a “shiny” look on finished parts.
Another option is to use a gloss coat, allow to dry, then apply a flat coat for “maximum protection without the shine” (sounds like a commercial!), but I usually just stick with flat sealer only.

Tip: You should include the name of the sealer in your answer in case the link ever breaks.

My solution to preserving your LEGO figures graphics would be to use translucent plasti-dip, which is normally used for tools to give them a grip as well as color code them. Assuming, of course, that you're using the figure as a key fob and not actually playing with it.
My first idea was that a clear, squeeze self-sealing coin pouch would work, but couldn't find one, then plasti-dip came to mind.

Seeking inventory of Mega Bloks set 9815
I have Mega Bloks set 9815. My children have lost the booklet that came with this set. I am looking for either in PDF or in Jpeg images a copy of the booklet. I hope to restore this set replacing missing pieces and to do this I need to know what was in this set.

Welcome to Bricks.SE.  It looks like this was a bulk bricks/blocks bucket.  If you are missing a few pieces or have a few different pieces it changes things, but you still get to play with it.

What set are these bags from? bearded mini-fig head, tan, dark tan, maroon, white and black bricks, some small black windows
I picked up two sealed bags up from the church thrift store. Markings are 2017, 515R8, 13149, bag numbers 3 and 4, Each bag has at least one flesh colored, bearded mini-fig head, tan, dark tan, maroon, white and black bricks, some small black windows. Can anyone identify the set?

I am no expert brick sleuth, but I see a white Dinosaur Tail End Section / Horn and a dark tan 4x12 plate, which I believe narrows this to 75930-1 Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate. That set apparently has six bags total, so if that is correct you're indeed missing most of it.

That seems to be correct. Thanks!

Based on the

Black Window 2 x 6 x 2 Train Front / Boat
Dark Red Slope 75 2 x 2 x 3 - Solid Studs
White Dinosaur Tail End Section / Horn

these bags should be from
75930: Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate

Does anyone know what this piece is? 3224730, with a bar at right angles to two more-rectancular bits
I found this piece and don't have any idea where it came from or what it would be used for. The number "3224730 2" is stamped on the side. For scale reference, the long round bar portion fits in a minifigure's hands.

Does it also have a LEGO logo stamped on it anywhere? My first guess is that's it's a sprue but it's hard to tell.

@NathanStohlmann No, it does not have LEGO stamped on it.  Maybe it's not LEGO?  The circular part is the same diameter as LEGO bars.  It was mixed in with all my other LEGO parts.

@NathanStohlmann Looking closer, there are some fine mold seams visible along the length which I would not expect on a LEGO part.  It seems like not being LEGO or being a sprue are probably good guesses.

The texture also doesn't resemble LEGO.

I'm somewhat skeptical about this piece being LEGO as well. However, the font is very similar to the one used by LEGO - all of the digits are the same on my LEGO elements. But then again, the number of digits (8+1) is just too much for any known LEGO element.

Long shot, but 3224730 matches the part number for a turn signal component used in a number of Chevy vehicles which is large enough to feasibly contain this part inside. Perhaps this is an internal part (specifically internal part #2)? Found the part number via this Ebay listing and it appears to be sold under a more generic Chevy part number (20962250) elsewhere. I can't find any good diagrams and I don't have one to tear down to verify this hypothesis.

This is not a Lego piece, If you look at the colour (or a trained eye does) This is probably a knock off lego set, as well as lego doesn't make these sort of pieces and lastly with every Lego piece ever made the have the icon, try to find it, If it isn't there it's a fake.

"every Lego piece ever made the have the icon" - that is not true!

Just to emphasize the previous comment, not all official LEGO parts have the LEGO logo on them. The vast majority do, but there are plenty of examples that do not.

How can you identify this is non-LEGO element by relying on it being made in Black color? It may be obvious with some other colors and color shades, but Black is a common color for lots of LEGO elements.

Does anyone know or can identify these pieces? Lots of long tan, and blue, and white

I bought this from an auction the box that came with it was from LEGO city but judging from the colors it seems like its the wrong box. Can anyone identify?

Related: Problems with set identification questions. E.g., "Usually I will re-word the title to be more descriptive"

The canonical is How can I identify Lego sets from a box of parts?.

The color scheme immediately reminded me of London Tower Bridge (10214). Since this isn't a sealed set, it is not possible to tell if this belongs to one or several sets. However, the combination of some objects like the assembly in Yellow and Pearl Gold as well as Technic pulley wheels in Tan, the 2x10 brick in Blue and, as I mentioned, the overall color scheme all leads to this set.

From the photo OP posted, I thought the tan wheels (semi-hidden behind gray wheels) might be semi-unique. Turns out this is one of the few sets they are found in: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4185&colorID=2&in=A

In fact, their combined use with the gray wheels is more obvious now that I've looked through other pictures: https://www.bricklink.com/TL/2611.jpg?1

If this is correct, what a great find at the auction OP!

Bagged Set Identification from 2011 - 3 bags somewhat separated into color themes (blue/green, white/brown, pink/yellow/orange)

I managed to score some (partial) Lego sets still in the bags. All the bags are marked 2011, but I'm struggling to ID them after leafing through 24 pages of 2011 Lego sets on Brickset. The left bag has "135149" on it, but nothing in the search results seems to match the colors. The colors in the right and left bag, plus the flowers/florals, look like maybe they came from Lego Friends series? None of the Lego Friends sets I saw seemed to fit. The middle set I'm even more lost on. The arches, doors, and gray ribbed pieces make it seem like it could be part of a building set.

The year and number on the bag refer to the bag itself, not the set it was used for, so the only thing they can be used for is setting a lower bound on when the set was made (they can't have put parts in a bag that wasn't designed until later).

Looks like 10692 Creative Bricks
Justification addendum:
The first picture has a blue 2x10 plate. It's not that unique (113 sets on BrickLink). There's also a 6x12 plate which I initially thought was green, but it seems not to be, as no set on BrickLink has both those pieces. But if it's bright green, there are 3 matches. I can't at all be certain of the color of the 6x6 round plate by looking at it, but when I cross-reference BrickLink for sets that have

at least 1 of Blue 2x10 plate
at least 1 of Bright Green 6x12 plate
at least 1 of 6x6 round plate with hole (in any color)

there is only this set.

Can you add some detail as to Why you think it is this set? That might be helpful to others learning how to identify sets from just bags.

@PhilB. The fact that the parts seem to be color-sorted into the 3 bags suggests this is not a set for building  a specific model, where the parts are usually bagged corresponding to the building sequence.

The inclusion of a brick separator seems unusual to me too, also hinting at a creative set rather than a specific model

Can anyone identify this set or sets - printed tile with a wooden path, lots of browns and tans and oranges
Can someone help me identify this set that I found at a consignment shop? It has some unique pieces and all of the bags were sealed (I opened two bags to get out a couple bricks for pictures). I have been scouring the Lego website and can't seem to locate the set. It could be missing bags, but I have quite a collection and want to make this mystery set.

Welcome to Bricks.SE.  Thanks for the good pictures.  Good pictures make the identification job much more practical.

Both sets are from 2014, which is why you couldn't find them on LEGO website.
Elements included in first picture and first three polybags on second picture are from Battle Towers (21205) set.

Identified by unique modified printed tile.
The rest looks like it comes from Forest Animals (31019)

Identified by round 2x2 tile with eye pattern together with round slope in Lime color, Red slope and Yellow bits.

"Both sets are from 2014, which is why you couldn't find them on LEGO website." - what's the connection between the year 2014 and not finding stuff on the LEGO website?

@user2357112supportsMonica LEGO.com only list sets they currently have for sale, recently sold out and the ones that have been announced, but yet to be sold. Since usual lifetime of LEGO sets is 2 years it is natural that these sets from 2014 are no longer listed for sale, thus "couldn't be found" on website. Support page (service.lego.com) is unaffected and provides instructions for sets above.

Wow! Thank you so much. We will start building right away :-)

Unknown set bags - long yellow plate, lots of brown
I have 2 bags that are not opened and I am unsure what set they are from, they could be the same set but I am unsure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bag 1 looks to have an orange wing and a purple disc in the bag.
Bag 5 looks to have a wheel axel and a 16x2 long yellow piece.

I agree with @IvanSanchez - it looks like both bags have been re-made: In bag 1 that rudder/tail element has had it's sticker applied, but the bag it's in contains a number of parts that aren't in the one set that combination came from. Similarly, bag 5 appears to contain a Dark Blue Slope, Inverted 45 6 x 4 Double with 4 x 4 Cutout, which also only appeared in one set, but again, with many extra parts that don't appear in that set.

To add to the evidence that these are resealed bags with random, used parts: Bag 5 contains a wheel base with a wheel hub already connected to it. Those  would never be packed like that by LEGO.

In the bag marked "5" I can peek:

A "©2017" mark.
A yellow 2x16 plate.
A dark blue 6x4 double inverted slope.

There are no (known) sets containing both those bricks.
The bag marked "1" has a dark orange tail shuttle with sticker applied (making it 6239pb067). Note that there exists a sticker sheet for the only set featuring that tail part.
My guess therefore is: those bags have been opened before, filled with parts from several sets, and possibly have been resealed.

Thank you all so much for your help! I really appreciate it!

@Ali If the answer has helped you, please mark it with a check to indicate that no further answers are required. Thanks!

Can anyone identify this Hasbro part? 2x2 circle with a ball on a short bar
Description: A 2x2 round tile with a ball sticking out in the middle of it, the ball being slightly smaller than a LEGO axle with ball. I’ve searched Bricklink extensively before, and the brick has Hasbro written on it, which has led me to believe it is a Kre-O brick of some kind.

Definitely not Lego, as you saw. I have this part (I saved it in my "interesting non-Lego pieces") but I don't know from what set(s) it originally came.

One of mine says 38955-009-01 (which I assume is a manufacturing code to track malformed pieces back to the factory it came from) and 10162 (which I assume is an actual part number). Neither identifier seems to help.

This is the KRE-O 10162, which first appeared in a blue version from the early version of KRE-O Transformers Optimus Prime Dino Hauler, working as a ball for the midsection of the truck. Sadly, this has later been altered to be black.
White and gray versions can be found below:

I'm having trouble discerning from your photo if the piece is gray, blue, or white, but my guess is that yours is from the USS Missouri.

The codes only identify the bag itself, not the contents. With a clear picture (or three), you are almost definitely going to get a good answer.

Sorry im new in this, im adding some pics hopefully can help, thanks

Once it's opened again, I'll answer with my justification for 21119-1 The Dungeon (based on Light Bluish Gray Plate 4 x 10, Tan Brick 2 x 8, Tan Brick 2 x 4).

@RSchulz : I concur - I find the same.

inventory of Nifeliz sets
Is there any pre-made inventory that I can use to add the Nifeliz sets I bought to Rebrickable, as I do with the Lego branded sets?
I'm very surprised that a search for Nifeliz finds no posts, as they are getting some trending on Amazon.com now.

There is are reasons this won't be added to Rebrickable: sets are not made of LEGO, sets are using other people's work without crediting them. Based on this I assume MOC authors don't get paid as well, which doesn't add any respect to this "brand". So basically, you are asking "Lepin"-like sets/MOCs to be listed on Rebrickable.

Yes, given that it's been documented that Nifeliz steals Rebrickable designs its a bit of a provocative question to ask how to import Nifeliz inventories into Rebrickable... I am inclined to think this is a troll post...

NOT a troll... if nobody talks about it I would have no idea, right?  In-house credit seems to be mentioned in the ads for the ones I bought (two purple cars). Amazon.com is suggesting them and there is an Easter sale. Instead of finding no posts why didn't I find that when I searched here before posting?

That is not how Amazon works. Suggestions and discounts like you mentioned are paid for by the seller or manufacturer. Add that it is well documented how simple Amazon's sales and review systems can be gamed, there is little reason to consider promotion on that site to be anything but paid placement using internal or external systems.
If you are an actual fan of this clone brand's products perhaps you would be best served by producing your own inventories.

@Closevoters: Note that while the question topic itself could be considered divisive or controversial, the question as a whole is objectively answerable (either by a positive confirmation or by explaining why a negative is likely).

@zovits, Contrary to what I earlier stated, I can't find any proof that they steal their designs from Rebrickable, it's more likely they contact people and pay them to retract their MOCs from public sources.
Nevertheless they certainly steal the element designs from LEGO and certainly do not make the proper licensing deals with the car brands.
As such I find their activities immoral and illegal and entertaining questions about these brands should be avoided.
Hence I like to see this question closed, but there seems to be no option to close a question about illegal activities...

@MichaelVerschaeve exactly that's what I mean. The spirit of the question might be repulsive, but it is a correctly formed question that can be answered appropriately and factually.

I suppose one can flag a question rather than vote to close it. It's the admins responsibility then whether or not they want to ban such content

Help identifying sealed LEGO bag - 4 large yellow wheels, a windshield, a motor and a figure in an olive green shirt
I bought this bag of LEGO bricks at a yard sale. It is sealed and I thought I could identify it by the number on that bag but got nothing. It appears to be a car and has 4 large yellow wheels, a windshield, a motor and a figure in an olive green shirt.

Can anyone help me in finding what set this goes to? It has the large number 3 followed by 627S0. I tried the QR codes and they didn't help either.

FYI: Bag numbers/QR codes are useless. They are only for production tracking at the Lego factories. Those numbers get re-used every couple of months/years and have no firm relationship with the set itself. It is even possible that a Lego set contains 2 identical bags with different numbers. (42055 even has 2 pairs of identical bags. In my own case 1 pair had identical numbers and the other pair had different numbers on the bags.)

This bag is from :
75940: Gallimimus and Pteranodon Breakout

keyparts:

Windscreen 8 x 4 x 2 with 2 Studs and Bar Handle
Torso Female Jacket with Pockets over Sand Green Shirt with Green Stripes, Reddish Brown Belt Pattern / Olive Green Arms / Light Nougat Hands

Identify unusual parts - 1x2 with a circle on the end
I found 8 of these in a box of miscellaneous Lego but they don't have a part number on them. Anyone seen these before? Any idea what the part number might be so that I might be able to identify the set they are from? Thank you

Bricklink just gives them the part name buffer. They're for trains.

lovely thank you. train buffer! about the only thing I didn't think of!!! :)

Looks like this piece's part number is "3488" as seen on Rebrickable.

lovely thank you.

Unidentified Lego bags in set 11015 (Around the World)
I’ve found some extra bags in a Lego set (11015). Qr codes are 6201540 and 6172064. Any ideas? Thanks!

Welcome to Bricks.SE! Please be advised that QR codes are irrelevant when it comes to set identification. Take couple of clear pictures of you bags you have and edit your question to include them.

How have you determined they're extra bags ? Are you sure they're not just a normal part of the set ?

Set 11015 "Around the World" contains three instruction booklets (PDFs available from this LEGO webpage over here).
Two of the three booklets show a relation between numbered bag and mini-models:

It's possible that OP misplaced or is missing one of the instruction booklets, hence the confusion.
(Though, IMO, being a "classic" set of mostly generic bricks, the fun is forgetting about the instructions).

What is the reference of this part? Two short rounded bars with a circle between
It is similar to a lipstick piece but a bit shorter.
I'm starting to wonder if it's even Lego but if seems pretty compatible
with everything.

If that was in my house, it'd be part of a remote-control or slot-racing car.

"Compatible with everything" you mean bars/3.18mm, studs, other System or Duplo elements? Which portion of the pictured element is "compatible" shaft ends or its middle? It would be helpful to have another LEGO element placed nearby.

Actually I retested it and it seems to be a little smaller that the bars. It does not hold as good. It must not be a lego part

Makes me think of a lego pneumatic piece to connect tubes, but probably isn't... also inclined to think it's not Lego

Today I discovered part 78258 https://store.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=78258 which looks very similar, but the ends are longer on the Lego piece.

Whatever brand it is, I don't think it's Mega Bloks, because I got a bulk lot of those recently and found a Mega Bloks piece like this, except its ends aren't rounded like your one (I know my piece is Mega Bloks because it's the same dark speckled grey as the other piece in the photo which says Mega Bloks on it).

Hope this helps with your search

Help identify minifig Pharaoh-like headdress
Recently found this minifig headdress in a bag with mixed LEGO and analogs. Not sure if it belongs to LEGO, but quality is great and it perfectly fits minifigure head. The sets in bag was belong to periods from 1994 to 2000 and from 2011 to 2017.
I tried Google Lens. Tried to search it in Adventurers, Pharaoh Quest, Castle, Prince of Persia, Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean and collectible minifigs serieses, but have not found any thing similar to it.
Any suggestions of sets or even serieses is appreciated.

Minifigure bellow is from 2021 creator castle is just for example of how it looks.

If someone has the full BrickLink catalog handy, it would probably be easy to filter on Minifigure, Headgear and sort by weight. That thing is huge. I don't personally recognize it as a Lego piece, and I searched that category by release year back a while, and nothing seemed to match.

Do you find any numbers or other markings on it (on the inside of the cap eg.) ?

Only number i found is "2" at the bottom of the cap. No markings.

I scanned through bricklink's black headgear, no hits. Suspecting a clone brand. Perhaps there's a theme to the clone sets in OP's bags that can help narrow down the search?

Thanks for the fun challenge, Ivan.  Can you add any info about the quality of the plastic?  Are there any seams you can see or feel?

I don't have any of clone-brands pieces from that bag left (only LEGO's and the ones I'm not sure about, like that one). I remember, there was a classic pirate clone set, something like western themed set and a lot of modern warfare sets (few tank's and truck, I guess). Plastic quality is very good, I would say it's LEGO quality or very close to it. There is one seam at the back of the headpiece, I added photo to OP.

I think the sole small number 2 printed inside is a good indication this is off brand. I just inspected a minifig headwear (police mans hat) and in the case of Lego, there's much more printed inside (at least two numbers and a  copyright notice) around the stud recess...

That's almost always true today, but historically, Lego has had a... variety... of methods they used to mark pieces like this. I'm fairly sure I've seen a bare number like that in pieces that were definitely Lego brand.

I can confirm that - I have several headgear in my collection that just have a single digit number (likely the mould id) on them. These are mostly from the late eighties, early nineties.

This looks to be a custom creation by BrickTW. They are apparently no longer in operation though (closed down early 2020).
Found through google image search with keywords "lego compatible headdress". This search turned up this element sold under the name "BrickTW - Nanman Priests Headdress" at Firestarter Toys (albeit not available in black).

Looks like it is, thank you! It's a pity that this is not from some set, this part is very unusual.

Great find! My searches for "minifigure headdress" yielded less useful results. I've put in a link to the image that's on their website, but that link may go bad, so I'll save a copy locally just in case. I would prefer a BrickTW image directly, but haven't found that either.

@RSchulz : thanks for the edit - I've been looking unsuccessfully for an image closer to the source. I'll keep my eyes open, but am not hopeful.

Also available in some shade of Brown/Tan

Identify set by bag 4 - lots of circular pieces

Can anyone help me with what set this bag belongs to? brown door, some flowers, a $100, an envelope
There is a brown door, some flowers, a $100, an envelope

According to BrickLink, the only set with all of:

2 x 2 corner brick in yellow
wedge plate 3 x 3 in dark bluish grey
1 x 8 plate in yellow

is 31108 Caravan Family Holiday

Is that a 1x2x2 brick in white on the left, though? If it is, I have no idea what set this could be. I feel it has to be a panel, but it doesn't totally look like a panel to me.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

@RSchulz that is https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=22885&idColor=1 , a 1x2x1 2/3 brick with studs on the side.

Gah! So it is. I don't know why I didn't just look through all the white pieces.

What set does this unopened bag belong to? Lots of grey and brown

I found this bag number 7, but cannot figure out what Lego set it belongs to.

Based on having a lot of Light Bley 1x4 with studs on the side and black ladder with clips and a boat steering wheel of some sort, it must be 21310 Old Fishing Store.

Thank you.  But this set doesn’t look familiar at all.  My kids have never had this type of set. I appreciate any additional help you could give.  Thanks!

I have looked at all sets that were in production in 2017 (seal code on your bag ends in 7 which means 2017) and that were large enough, AND had Black Plate 4x10 in it, as well as the LBG brick 1x4 with studs on side AND the tan windows, and as @RSchulz already concluded, only 21130 qualifies.

@PhilB. That number is for production date, which doesn't always relate to year set was introduced into market. For example, all sets manufactured for beginning of 2022 will have 2021 marking. Pictured bag could have also been an additional production of something that has been introduced in 2016. Apart from that, spot on!

@Alex - I never said I looked only at sets that came out in 2017. I said I looked at sets that were IN PRODUCTION in 2017, which indeed includes sets that came out in 2016 and even 2015, and even 2018.

@PhilB. In case of 21310, yes, it is highly unlikely it was produced in 2016. But I don't think there is a good way of knowing what was in production in 2017. Say 10220, it was available for over 9 years. So if you find it sitting on a shelf in 2017 you cannot tell if it was produced same year or sometime in past 6 years.

Not sure what this is - bag 2, whites, purples, light blues
I got this at the thrift store and have no instructions. Does anyone know what it is?

41332-1 Emma's Art Stand
Based on

White Plate, Modified 2 x 2 x 2/3 with 2 Studs on Side
Medium Lavender Plate, Round Corner 2 x 6 Double
White Plate 2 x 2 Corner

That yields 3 sets, only 1 of which is a Friends set, and it's one that has that mini-doll in it.

...but that set doesn't cover all the parts seen. The 8x8 tan plate, 1x3x1 and 1x2x3 white slopes, and other parts from the bag at the top of the photograph are probably from different set(s).

Yup; trying to ID a set from an unclear photo of a loose collection of parts in an open bag seems like a fool's errand. I concentrated on the do-able task of identifying the sealed bag.

I wouldn't bet money on that being an 8x8 plate in tan - I can not be at all certain just how big it really is.

I found these parts but have no idea what sets - lots of grey and black, looks like Star Wars
Can anyone identify what sets these parts belong to?

That dish in the baggie was only ever in one set: 7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid

The decorated windscreen below seems to be Windscreen 6 x 6 x 3 Canopy Half Sphere with Dual 2 Fingers with SW Sith Fighter Pattern which was only in one set: 9500 Sith Fury-class Interceptor

I wonder if that base on the lower left is 10186 General Grievous - UCS

The one at the top is cut off. But based on

Dark Bluish Gray Tile, Modified 4 x 4 with Studs on Edge
Dark Bluish Gray Wedge, Plate 4 x 2 Left
Light Bluish Gray Technic, Liftarm, Modified Bent Thin L-Shape 3 x 3

The only set with all 3 seems to be 75104-1 75104-1 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle

The one on the lower right with the orange seems to be a freezing chamber, but I might not know which one:
Based on

Dark Bluish Gray Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud with Groove and Bottom Stud Holder (Jumper)
Dark Bluish Gray Wedge, Plate 4 x 4
Trans-Clear Plate 1 x 2

it would either be 75222-1 Betrayal at Cloud City or, more likely, 75137-1 Carbon-Freezing Chamber as Cloud City doesn't have any 32474 Black Technic Ball Joint which I think I see in the photo.

Nice finds! The blue tower on the left is from 6873, the black curved slope construct looks much like the top of 75227, and the small build with door on the right looks like the 'fridge' in 41119.

What is this 2x2 figure called? I want another one but I don't even know what to search for. Is it something before minifigures? Is it even LEGO?

I got some clues from my sister. It's not a boy, it's a girl. Basic Figure Finger Puppet Female (bfp001) from 1980's LEGO Basic set
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=4224c01#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}

They can be ever so fun to put on your fingers.

I remember those from my childhood!

I picked up these bags of Lego - mostly greys and black
I picked up these bags of legos at a garage sale but don't know what the set is they belong to.
Can you help me with identifying what set they belong to?

The top right bag has a rare windscreen and a half-cylinder. In those colors, they still only show up in 10188-1 Death Star - UCS.

Set 10188 has a lot more parts than are in this bag.

Yup. Obviously, bags 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 aren't in the photo.

So your saying that the 6 bags are shown as one bag 7 in the instructions?

Identify unnumbered bags from 11015 - with pictures
I bought LEGO Classic 11015 set. I have 7 unnumbered bags that came with the set all other numbered bags have been completed so I'm unsure what set they are from.

I took a sampling of the most interesting parts visible in your bags, and all are contained in the 11015 set inventory in the correct amounts. Based on this I'd conclude that these simply came with the set, just not in numbered bags. This is further supported by the existence of parts like SKI STICK 3M, W/SHAFT Ø3,2, two of which are clearly visible in your photo, but none is included in any of the official models buildable from the seven numbered bags. Yet they are included in the set inventory, so they must be there for the creative play.

Can you identify this small round piece with 2 studs on opposite sides
Can anyone identify this part? I remember reading that it was part of a wheel, like a hub or something and it's got studs on both sides.
I've searched google for LEGO wheel hubs, and looked through the Bricklink wheels section but haven't found it.

It is definitely non-LEGO piece. Otherwise it would have made a lot of (positive) noise in LEGO community.

@Joost I was searching for that question but it had 4081b in the link URL only, so the search didn't find it. I've edited it now to (hopefully) make it more findable.

Sources of minifigures with plain, classical faces
For Reasons™, I am looking for current sets that have minifigures with the plain, classical faces:

However, if I look at the current selection on the Lego website, all the accompanying minifigs have stylized faces. The only currently sold set I have seen so far with plain minifigs is Ikea's BYGGLEK.
Short of hunting for deals for old, retired sets on eBay, are there ways for me to get sets that have plain minifigs?

(Also, I've last played with Lego as a kid, but only started to get back into it after 25 years, so I'm not hip on what's de rigueur these days, and would appreciate some handholding.)

There are several options (moulds) you can choose from:

Minifigure, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Hollow Stud is the latest,
currently available option. List of sets with this piece included.
Minifigure, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Blocked Open Stud was available up until 2016. List of sets with this piece included.
Minifigure, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Solid Stud was available up until 1996. List of sets with this piece included.

Adding to the answer provided by Alex, there is also the option to buy this head from the pick-a-brick section on the Lego website.
Specifically, part number 9336 "Minifigure, Head Standard Grin Pattern - Hollow Stud" can be found at https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?filters.i0.key=variants.attributes.designNumber&filters.i0.values.i0=9336

And cheaper than on Bricklink.

What brand is this brick with a logo that looks like an elongated C and a square?
Can anyone tell me about this brick? There is no Lego logo on it. It looks well made and fits perfectly with real Lego bricks.

I have an 8x8 plate I just got in a mix of Lego and knockoffs, without boxes or instructions. There's no markings anywhere else, except 4006B on the bottom. A lot of Google Image searching has not yielded any joy.

Looks like the Betty Crocker logo to me.

No idea but I think the logo looks like a person wearing a helmet, looking to the left

can anyone identify these bags of Lego? lots of dark and light grey, dark red
Found these Lego bags but don't the set they belong to.
What set are they part of?

It looks like two sets.
Top right bag seems to be a Death Star UCS.
Based on

at least 5 White Technic, Plate 2 x 4 with 3 Holes
Light Bluish Gray Brick 2 x 2 Corner
Dark Bluish Gray Technic Reel 3 x 2

Those pieces together seem to only belong to 10188-1 Death Star - UCS

The top left bag seems to have pieces from this, too:

Dark Bluish Gray Dish 2 x 2 Inverted (Radar)
Dark Bluish Gray Plate 2 x 2 Corner
Light Bluish Gray Minifigure, Weapon Lightsaber Hilt Straight
Light Bluish Gray Technic, Pin Connector Round 2L with Slot (Pin Joiner Round)

The middle left bag seems to have pieces from this, too:

Light Bluish Gray Bar 6L with Stop Ring
Dark Bluish Gray Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side - Free Ends
Tan Plate, Round 2 x 2 with Rounded Bottom (Boat Stud)
Light Bluish Gray Hinge Plate 1 x 2 Locking with 2 Fingers on Side and 9 Teeth
Red Plate, Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole

The bottom right bag seems to also have pieces from this set.
The bottom left bag, however seems to be from 76104-1 The Hulkbuster Smash-Up

Dark Bluish Gray Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Inverted
Pearl Gold Slope, Curved 2 x 2 x 2/3 with Two Studs and Curved Sides
Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Brick Modified 2 x 2 with Ball Socket and Axle Hole - Straight Forks with Round Ends and Open Sides

These 3 together only occur in 2 sets, and only 1 of them has all that Dark Red.

Issues with Move Hub and Controller: first connected device works, but not both
I'm having issues with the move hub 88006, the controller 88010 and the Powered Up app.
The issue is the same on multiple devices.
Basically, whatever I connect via Bluetooth first is what works, but I can't get them both to work.
If I connect the hub first, I can program the hub and it works fine, but the controller block doesn't work (any button presses don't appear to register)
If I connect the remote first, the button presses on the remote register, but the hub doesn't react.
They both appear to be connected in the Bluetooth menu.
I have unpaired and re-paired multiple times, changed batteries, and tried my phone and tablet and the issue is the same.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Dark Bluish Gray Slope, Curved 2 x 2 x 2/3
Light Bluish Gray Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with 2 Studs without Groove

That Trans-Light Blue Plate, Round 1 x 1 is in the inventory, as is the Light Bluish Gray Technic, Axle 1L with Tow Ball, and the Light Bluish Gray Brick, Round 1 x 1 Open Stud, and the hinges, and the White Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Pin, but not that blue-like cheese slope in the top right...

... or is that just a weird reflection on a Dark Bley piece?

Omg, that is it. Thank you so much!

@RSchulz : looks like a reflection to me. The shadows indicate a light source that is just about the right angle to reflect off that cheese slope into the camera.

@SanderDeDycker I'm so glad I didn't spend time hunting for that piece as a Light Blue or Sand Blue or Medium Azure or whatever color it seems to be...

It's called bluish grey for a reason I guess :)

where on each brick does LEGO put the branding and what do the identification markings on the underside look like?
I was given a mix of bricks which included bricks that have branding on the studs (Lego) as well as some other blocks. I was able to remove the bricks without branding as well as non-Lego bricks; however, the bricks with Lego studs don't all look like they are real.
I looked up text of Lego to compare for authenticity but results were rare. I have heard a about people selling "Lego bricks" that look so close the real ones and I can not tell the difference between them but I have a feeling that some or most of these might not be real. if I knew exactly what true Lego markings looked like, I would be able to get rid of the fakes. if I knew where the logo was printed and the style and sizes Lego used under the bricks it would give my collection more value.
Did Lego always have the branding inside the mini figure legs.
I know the letters and numbers inside Lego bricks are small but they should be able to be seen and read - is that correct? Please help so I can build a case against the companies I have been getting these bricks from so I can shut them down.

The word bricks means one thing, but sometimes people use it to mean any Lego piece, and I think perhaps you are doing that here. For Lego pieces (I almost wrote "authentic Lego pieces" but if they're not authentic, they're not Lego) the locations and fonts and font sizes have all changed over the years. I have seen one report of a company forging the word Lego on their bricks, but I am not convinced it was anything more nefarious than a bad manufacturing incident. Also, you say "printed", but the logos would have been molded, or stamped, not printed. To be continued...

Some pieces (like 1x1 round bricks and 1x1 round cones) have Lego markings on them on newly-produced pieces, but until recently, they did not. I have been pondering a question on here about what the most recent piece Lego makes isn't marked - I have not seen a Lego marking on any hot dog sausage piece I own, for instance. It took me a lot of effort to find them on the ice lolly, or Captain America's shield.

I think I used bricks as a way to indicate that the pieces are a variety or brands and yes the lego are molded as a technicality but I think that the location of the letters and numbers is what was in question because i have some suspected counterfeit bricks and I want to save the authentic for my collections

I have also spent a vast (vast) amount of time keeping Lego apart from imitation pieces, so I empathize with your plight.

Would you be able to post some macro shots of what you're seeing that makes you think it might be fake? It's very difficult to take clear photos of this unless you have the right equipment (which makes it easy).

Bag 2, 2011 135149 - 2 minifig heads, lime, brown, greys
Bag 2 has 2 minifigure heads, one black male and one tan female. Gray male hair and black male hair.

Does this answer your question? How can I identify Lego sets from a box of parts?

70912-1 Arkham Asylum
I based it on Lime Tile 1 x 6, Dark Bluish Gray Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side - Closed Ends, Tan Plate, Round 2 x 2 with Rounded Bottom (Boat Stud).

Ah, you beat me to it. Note also the minifig heads visible are Barbara Gordon and Aaron Cash

I ignored the minifig heads; there are so many subtle variations I find it's not worth identifying based on that.

Looking for the name of this really tiny 1x2 lego part. In microbuilds it is used as wheels, but I think it may officially be an axle

It's the black piece that I'm looking for the name or number of. Thank you in advance to anyone with information on this

Shouldn't that be 2x 2x 2x?

@candied_orange I assume it's step 2, and the other red pieces were placed in step 1

@RSchulz confusing out of context

BrickLink calls it 2496 Wheel Skateboard / Trolley

The name is a bit odd as they're also common in  "Creator" sets for micro models. They also make decent minifig scale dumbbells.

@Stephen FYI you can mark this as The Answer by clicking the check mark left of the post.

Lego's name for it pretty much has to be what they originally used it for, but it's nice to have pieces that have multiple good uses as people get creative.

Parts with no part number how is it identified? (need help, but for future too)
So, the white piece has identification, but the front cover does not.  How are these identified? It's from an old space set from the 90's. I have tons of non typical parts that seem to have no identification.  It does have some numbers on it - 1-02 what is that referencing? I know this was from a few sets, probably

Answers to this question might help you

The box is part 4345 (or a variant). On BrickLink, that gives This Door, Frame fits with the following Door:. And those parts are 4346. But you want one with a pattern on it, so the BrickLink search you need is 4346p*. There's only 60 of them, and one looks right: 4346pb05 Container, Box 2 x 2 x 2 Door with Slot with Red and Yellow Controls Pattern

As for "1-02 what is that referencing" it is almost definitely a way for Lego to track which part of which mold made that part, so that if any are reported as mis-formed, they can track it down more easily.

Wow, I never knew you could search with a * match. That's going to be useful in the future!

The first time you see it, the potential is mind-blowing.

Thanks! I didn’t realize every part wasn’t identified!

@SQLALLSTAR the round 1x1 brick https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3062b has been in use since 1976 in this form, but only in the past few years has it had any marking on it saying Lego, let alone a part number.

These parts are Tile 1 x 2 with Groove with Red and Yellow Controls and Two White Stripes on Left Pattern,

Note the similarity to this part (below). You can see the left side is different.

Container, Box 2 x 2 x 2 Door with Slot with Red and Yellow Controls Pattern, attached to Container, Box 2 x 2 x 2

As for finding pieces yourself, I find the Bricklink search to be most useful. Obviously as you become more familiar it will be easier. Searching by colour is usually a good way to start.
To find your parts I searched "white tile 1 x 2 pattern red yellow" and "black container door"

Unfortunately, some of the pattern descriptions are just things like "Container, Box 2 x 2 x 2 Door with Slot with M:Tron Pattern" which does not help. That's why I recommend searching with google instead of BrickLink directly - if you have a way to describe a piece, google will show you where other people have used that wording to describe it, while BrickLink can only show you its one standard description. Peeron used to have alternate keywords, which helped find things where you didn't already know exactly the right phrase.

@RSchulz Good point. It's always possible to try both anyway. I probably find Bricklink easy because I have a pretty good understanding of their naming conventions (which is where gaining experience will help). Still, the number one best way is to search by part ID if you can find it (a 4-5 digit number).

Brick ID on the Mega Bloks - round building in 2 parts with door and window
please help with ID on the following parts. Would like to know set and eventually instructions. The Door has AM17450 on it and looks like Pego or something similar Copyright inside on yellow.
Would make a 5 year old very happy. Many thanks in advance.

It looks like Papa Smurf's House, but there may be many houses in that line. Do you have anything else from that set that could narrow it down?

Bionicle Tooth: Legal Connection?
I’m finishing a MOC on stud.IO and have found that it doesn’t recognize a couple connections as legal. This happens on occasion with connections I know are legal, but I’m not sure about these two. They are shown here:

The first one is my preferred, the second a backup. I tested them both out. The first clicks solidly into place, but I’m not sure if the peg fully expands. 16 clicks = 1 rotation.
The second I would be very confident in, but the materials may be problematic according to Lego’s official “Stressing the Elements” PDF.
What do you think? It’s just a MOC so I could go ahead and ignore the rules, but I try to follow the conventions of official sets.

This question could be further improved by linking the part and maybe having a photo that directly shows the hole. Once you know that it's an axel hole, the question boils down to "Is it legal to put a wheel axel or a bar into a Technic axel hole?", I think.

I think the 2nd connection can only be illegal if both pieces would be a transparent color (as the .pdf points out, PE connects too tightly with PE, ABS and PE is not a problem).

The second connection is between a "bar" element and a "technic axle hole". This is used in (yet unreleased) 10305 Lion's Knight Castle. A Brothers-Brick review of the set highlights the mace in the weapons rack:

...which is built with a bar element and a 8T technic gear.

In regards to the first element - the ring (outer edge) of the bar that originally keeps a wheel from sliding off is slightly larger than the "bar" element. While this will be enough to keep both together, the element will be in constant stress and eventually will become damaged.
I cannot think of a quick example where LEGO used second type of connection, but cannot remember this being illegal.

Identify 2017 Bag #2? Cash register and “I love HLC” stickers
Can anyone help identify this Friends set? Bag #2 has 2017 copyright with “511R8” on bag. Cash register and “I love HLC” stickers in set.

A photo would be ever so helpful if you could post one. I've taken a stab at it, but the set I found doesn't have a cash register. Almost all sticker sheets nowadays will have a long (like 8-digit) code on them, which will make identification super reliable.

The numbers on the bag concern the bag itself, not the set it was in, so that is worthless. "HLC" in "I love HLC" probably means "HeartLake City", placing the set in the Friends-theme - they have a lot of pieces/stickers with that text, there are also several shops with cash registers there. To be more precise I second RSchulz's request for a photo.

Is it this piece? That is 87552pb049 and only shows up in 10763 Stephanie's Lakeside House

This piece isn't a sticker, but shows up in multiple sets that have a cash register.

Help identifying bricks set - Tan brown black bricks, gold cones
I have bag of Lego but can’t identify what they are. Package number 7 with 728R0 on the bag. Tan brown black bricks some gold cones and single red piece

The bag numbering is not specific to any one set, so that will not help, alas. What does the single red piece look like? Even better, a photo (or three) will probably let us help you.

Does this answer your question? How can I identify Lego sets from a box of parts?

Based on the extremely scarce information provided (take photographs when asking for set identifications, please!), I've scoured sets containing 1x1 cone in pearl gold:

With more than one pearl gold cone
Big enough to have at least seven bags
With a predominance of tan/brown/black

Of those, the only possible match I could find is 7327-1 Scorpion Pyramid. According to the instructions, bag 7 builds the tip of the pyramid, an obelisk, and some decorations...

... with three pearl gold cones, quite a lot of tan and dark tan (easily mistaken with "brown") and some black, but also some blue parts (that OP doesn't mention), and not one but two red snakes.
I've looked at the instruction booklets of other sets, and bag 7 doesn't match my criteria.
Again, this is based on very limited information, and good photographs of the bag (or the parts themselves) are the reliable way of identifying sets.


text:
There is no bag number for this bag - all yellows and oranges and variants
This bag has yellow and orange parts and the lego tool.

Does this answer your question? How can I identify Lego sets from a box of parts?

The lack of a bag number hints strongly at it being a creativity-type set instead of a build-this-and-primarily-this set.

Does this answer your question? Only green parts and there is no bag number for this bag

This is your 8th or 9th bag question in short succession. And 5 of them only belonged to 2 sets. Just a tip: If you have 1 bag identified check first if any other un-identified bags that you have could belong to the same set. That saves you and us the trouble of another question.

It's also 31105 based on the green bag you also posted in another question, but also because only that set has all of Yellow Brick 2 x 8, Yellow Brick, Round 1 x 1 Open Stud, and some color of Brick 1 x 1 x 3.

and used BrickLink's set finder to find sets with both parts.

Well! I had no idea BrickLink had such a thing, or I wouldn't have written my own.

I didn't know it existed either, until this question prompted me to see if it existed. There is a certain charm in using one's own code.

When using Mindstorms Scratch-like development tool for EV3, is it possible to move a single or a few selected blocks somehow?
Say I have 10 random blocks in a line.
Is it possible to move number 4 to position 1 without also moving block 5-10?
As far as I have managed to move blocks all following blocks also gets moved even if I just want to move a single block.
Moving blocks seem really hard in Mindstorms software when working with loops and if blocks, at least when you want to decide the actual target position.

You have to break the blocks apart in two places so the one(s) you want to move are not attached to anything else. Then move the separated block(s) to where you want them. And finally put everything back together again.

Note: the screen shot is from the SPIKE programming software, not EV3 - in case you don't recognize some of the blocks.

Thanks for your answer! That’s sad. Then it’s worse than the EV3 Labview block programming. I guess I’ll have to change to EV3 python then.

Help identify this non-LEGO set - curvy slopes and stickers
I don't believe this is a LEGO set because there is no branding on the studs but hopefully someone recognizes the sticker and can tell me which set this is?
I'm looking for the exact set as I was handed down thousands of LEGO bricks for my kids with no instructions

With those blank studs it is definitely not Lego. The few hollow ones look a lot like Megabloks to me.

first impression was "transformers" .. no idea why .. happy hunting! or a spaceship .. or it's a ninja turtle .. or batman .. yes, always batman .. now someone will spend a lot of time to disprove those theories and get you the right part .. you're welcome! would it be possible to get a photo from the bottom side? is it one piece? looks assembled. maybe from different sets?

Can you clarify your question. Are you asking to find out if it is Lego or not, or do you want to know the exact brand and set?

This looks very much like the rear end of set 8669 Fire Spinner 360:

Only differences being that the pieces are counterfeit and the red on the stickers has been replaced with green. This is therefore, presumably, from a clone-brand version of this set.

Need help identifying this non-Lego set - looks like a grey spaceship
This all came in a sealed pack. I can't seem to figure out which set it is - does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure there are more pieces to it.

Welcome to Bricks.SE. The set in the picture is a clone brand set, not a LEGO set, as there are no LEGO markings on the studs of the pieces. This will make it harder to identify, but there are some amazing set detectives on this forum who might be able to help.

Looks like a plane model of some kind from the tail fin, cockpit bubble, and turbines (a big model, since there are at least 3 turbines; guessing there's a 4th somewhere). May need more pieces to determine the set, if you can find them.

The tail fin looks similar to the ones used on the Kre-o Starscream and other models, which might help narrow it down a bit...

@TylerH There have been are plenty of real-world tri jet planes. e.g. Boeing 727, Lockheed Tristar, DC-10, MD-11, Dassault Falcon, etc, etc - not to mention fictional designs of course..

Thank you my boys got about 5000 Legos handed down to them but no books so I'm trying to find some of the unique pieces to figure out some sets thank you now I know if it doesn't say Lego it's a different brand

Tl;dr: most likely parts from Sluban or Oxford.

Original Post
@Zhaph is right that the tail fin looks like the one on the Kre-O Starscream:
Yours:

Kre-O:

I started looking for other Kre-O sets that use the piece. I found the Toy & Game Instructions page which included sets with strikingly similar pieces.
The Kre-O Star Trek USS Vengeance - A4364 Instructions (PDF) cockpit is eight studs long while the cockpit in your photo looks to be about six studs long, but they have the same geometry.
Yours:

Kre-O:

The Kre-O Transformers Battle for Energon - 98812 (PDF) includes six-by-two stud sloped bricks that look like they could match the upside down brick in your photo.
Yours:

Kre-O:

Unfortunately, it looks like the Kre-O inverted slopes (at least in Kre-O Transformers Destruction Site Devestator - 36951 (PDF)) are closer to LEGO's inverted slopes than the ones in your photo.
Yours:

Kre-O:

Yours:

Kre-O:

It's hard to tell if your six-stud-long slopes are curved or not, but they look closer to LEGO Slope, Curved 6 x 1 than they do the ones from Kre-O (at least the ones from the USS Vengeance).
Yours:

LEGO:

Kre-O:

I did find another similar match and in the correct color: the Ultimate Soldier XD F-18 Fighter Jet (Ad Blocker Warning) as referenced in this forum post.

Unfortunately again, the only details I can find about the brand (beyond the brick sets sold at Walmart and Amazon) seem to be about the figures, not building sets. There are a few sites archiving these figures if you're interested.

I would have thought that the turbine piece would have been the easiest to identify, but I haven't come across anything close. Do you have more pieces that might be unique enough to give a clue?

I'm curious to know if the molds from Kre-O's tailfin ended up being sold to someone else. That might explain both the nearly identical piece in the Ultimate Soldier sets (down to the injection sprue) and the obscurity of the set you're looking for.

Edit 1
According to the unsourced Wikipedia page for Ultimate Soldier, the Ultimate Soldier brand of die-cast figures was reintroduced as a line of military-themed building toys in 2014.
This forum thread contains conjecture about the acquisition of the die-cast tooling by either JSI or All-Go. No mention of the building toys.

JSI bought some of the 1/18 tooling, there are a couple of company's sniffing around the 1/32 molds, but on my friends last trip to China(he's been back about a week) the 1/32 molds are either crated up of sitting inside and outside :rolleyes: the plant :lol: while other projects have taken over the factories.
if they stay in weather to long they will be junk soon :huh:

For all intents and purposes, 21st Century is effectively gone. All-Go's attempt at resurrecting the line fell back into the mire it tried to spring from after reissuing the two 1/32 planes - the mistake they made there being twofold: they reissued paint schemes that had been done already (and at half the price) AND they no longer included a pilot figure. A lot of merchants dumped excess stock upon the failure of the planes to sell, and discounters like Tuesday Morning ended up with them.
JSI seems to possess the bulk of the 1/18 molds and have reissued several of 21C's vehicles in that scale.
As far as 1/32 goes, status remains unknown. Still a lot available on ebay, but obviously not at Wal-Mart prices. I have built several of the kits myself, and while plainly being more toy-like than your normal kit, they do clean up nice and if you get them at the right price are a bargain. I managed to snag a case of BF109F's for $20 a couple of years back.

If the date provided by the Wikipedia page is to be believed, then there must be another explanation for the identical parts. I doubt that Hasbro would be selling good molds in 2014 for a line of toys they were still producing in 2017.
So I checked who was actually making the toys for Hasbro. The Kre-O line is produced by the Oxford toy company in Korea. Their website is next to impossible to navigate in English, but with a little luck I came across this set with a familiar tailpiece.

I couldn't find any closer matches on their website, but Wikipedia mentions that they made a line of military-themed sets. Using Google Translate, I searched 옥스포드 군사 장난감 (oxford military toy) and found some sets that also contain pieces that appear to match the molds of your pieces.

There's your slope again (apologies for the poor quality):

They even have the square-shaped negatives in the bottoms of some pieces:

The Oxford military sets appear to be the source of the Ultimate Soldier sets still available on Amazon/Walmart. Just as they were rebranded "Kre-O" for Hasbro, it appears Oxford sets are/were rebranded "Ultimate Modern Soldier" for 21st Century Toys.
Oxford:

Ultimate Soldier (Amazon):

I'm still looking, but I'm nearly certain that your set was produced by Oxford. Either for one of their own lines or to be licensed by another company.

Edit 2
Completely by accident, I have stumbled on Sluban.

Tailfin:

What piece is this and what is its purpose?
I am very confused on what this is. The only numbers on it are 8-01 and I searched for this and nothing comes up.

A picture would be helpful.

Sorry I am new to this

We call them space binoculars. They're like binoculars, but in space!

They are supposed to look like the Macrobinoculars that Luke uses as well as some other similar "large fancy binoculars" from the series.

@JPhi1618 Really?  Because it doesn't look anything like the item in the link you posted.

They come in Star Wars sets. I know it’s not an exact visual match, but rather a lego interpretation of “bulky high tech” binoculars.

@DarrelHoffman Once you consider the constraints required to have a minifigure actually hold them up to their face, they actually seem remarkably close .That said, they also showed up in a few Rock Raiders sets the same year they were first introduced, and have been used in a couple of police-themed World City sets as well.

Lego Prototype or Megablok?
I came across this brick while sorting some Lego I purchased. It's similar to an Electric, Light Bulb Cover (colored globe), but with three major differences. It is a bit wider, the lower lip is a bit higher, and rather than being mostly hollow (to receive a bulb) it is designed to receive a bar. I was unable to find the part when searching Bricklink's trans-red part list.
The inside has what appear to be a part number of 10780 and a mold identifier of 1-8. Given there is no Lego stamp I'm guessing it is a knockoff, but I'd like other opinions as I'm unsure whether prototype bricks are all marked. Given the source of the parts there is a small chance it is a prototype.

Not all Lego pieces say Lego - even some rather recent ones are unadorned. I keep wondering if I should ask a question about what the most recent is, once I have some good examples to show.

There was a question here not too long ago regarding parts without a Lego stamp. I recall there were a scant few recent examples, but apparently they do exist.

I can no longer access the Bricks.SE account I used to submit the original question. But this piece is a Kreo element from the "Space Dive" set.

Great job on ID'ing the part :) To merge your accounts, take a look at the process described here. Play well!

The finish of the piece and the numbering scheme reminds me of Megabloks pieces, but it is far from a 100% sure, definitive answer. After half an hour of searching on Google and on the Megabloks website, I have seen no such product that would contain this piece, but based on its apparent age, this information is still not decisive.

I also looked through some Megablok sets at Bricker and the closest thing I saw was a missile tip, but it was much larger. The numbering scheme is similar to both Lego which makes it difficult to determine. Thanks for your input!

What is this Duplo-like Playmobil bag called?
I bought some random Duplo secondhand and can't figure out what set or name this piece is from/called

Are you SURE it's Duplo? It looks like a Playmobil bag in this 1-2-3 set https://i2.wp.com/canadianmomreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/My-Take-Along-Farm.jpg?resize=768%2C559 but I haven't been able to find one with the same pattern.

Good point - maybe it isn't Duplo. It came with the big assortment I bought but perhaps a piece from another brand was slipped in

I'd be interested in what the top and bottom look like.

@RSchulz you should post that as an answer, since you clearly identified the part.

With thanks to RSchulz,
This is  a Playmobil part
It belongs to : Playmobil 6774 - Garbage truck

Thank you very much for identifying it!

@SandraNelson remember to click the checkmark to indicate this is the right piece for any future searchers.

I searched for milk and cow and grapes and yogurt and toothpaste - turns out I should have just searched for garbage bag and it would've popped right up!

Lego Bag Identification?
My son has this bag of unopened lego with no instructions. Bag has numbers 135149 and says 2011. Colours are mostly brown and white. There are eye pieces included both open and closed with eyelashes.

Welcome to Bricks.SE Numbers found on bags, most of the time, are meaningless unlike pictures. Please update your question to include picture (or two) of the bag you have. This would help us identify unique pieces to narrow down search results.

I count 20 sets that have both "Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Eye Closed with Eyelashes Pattern" https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=98138pb028 and "Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Eye with Pupil Pattern" https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=98138pb007. But there are other eyes you might have meant instead. Really, we do need some photos.

Thanks for your reply, should I open it up to help?

Hopefully you don't NEED to open it, but if you're going to anyway, it might make it easier to see some of the pieces. I can't seem to spot the eye pieces in either photo, for example, so I'm guessing which ones they are.

Thanks again for your help!

According to BrickLink, only set 10692 Creative Bricks has all of:

Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Eye Closed with Eyelashes Pattern
Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Eye with Pupil Pattern
White Fence 1 x 4 x 1

Do those eyes look right?

Yes that’s it! Thank you.

How do I sync audio and movement on my NXT 2.0?
How do I sync audio and movement with my NXT 2.0? I'm building an animatronic head and I can't find a good way to sync it with external audio because the internal speaker is too quiet.

How long is your audio, what type of device are you using to play external audio and is there anything you have tried so far in regards to syncing?

Its pretty short audio, maybe only a few seconds. I did try having the audio play from the internal speaker but it was really quiet and the movements wouldn't sync up with the movements.

Is this playing through a computer or a device showing a screen?

Grapes on the vine
I'd like to build a lego winery, similar to
this one
It looks like he's using the purple ice cream scoops  for grapes, right?
How do you think those are attaching to the plants?
How might I create something more like a rectangular vine/trellis area with vines and grapes on the vines?
My current plan involves using a trellis fence and vines somehow, but I'm not sure about the specifics.  Any suggestions?

could you possible thread a hose, soft axle 7L through a trellis fence and then plug the ice cream scoops onto the other end?

There are a lot more pictures in the author's Flickr album for this model.

Leaves and grapes are attached using Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw

Thanks for the help Hugo. Can you elaborate on that just a bit?

Leaves holes are pushed into the bar part of "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw". The clip part is attached to the redish brown horizontal 3L bar that serve as support. Same thing for the grapes. And then you can give them the desire angle.

Thanks hugo.  I dont think the clip part will clip to a mesh fence right?

No it won't. An alternative if you really want to use a mesh fence is to use a "Carrot Top / Twig" or" Plant Stem with 3 Leaves and Bottom Pin" instead of the "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw". Simply push the bar part through the fence holes then push it in the leaves hole.

Might be a bit bulky (and my apologies for not verifying feasibility: my LEGO are all in storage for an upcoming move), but might something like this work, albeit bulkily?
1.) take a 1x1 brick with two SNOT studs on opposing sides and turn it upside down
2.) place a leaf on the top (hole end/"bottom" 'cause the 1x1's inverted) and one on one of the SNOT (side) studs
3.) place the grapes on the stud of the inverted 1x1
4.) Use the remaining SNOT (side) stud and attached the plant to the fence.  I believe that the diamond lattice can fit a stud.
5.) separately, wrap a string with studs on either end around various elements and the fence to create the vines.  (Though I like Monte Gardner's idea of hoses much better.  :))

Is there a brick with studs on both sides?

Yes, 47905.  https://brickset.com/parts/design-47905 .  You could also use one with four SNOT studs if you wanted more vegetation, https://brickset.com/parts/design-4733 .

What set do these LEGO parts belong to? Star Wars-type patterns, Bionicle connectors
Please help identify these Lego sets:

This is not one set. You have at least one Star Wars set, one Bionicle set, and a lot of very generic pieces. Are you interested in where a specific piece might have come from?

Yes. Please I want the sets first. Son got it for his cousin and we don't have idea where to get the instructions. Thanks!!

The round grey printed discs, the tan gears, the grey worm screw, the boat studs and the black rope in the first photo, the 6x4 and 6x12 grey plates from the third and fourth photo are found together in 10178: Motorised Walking AT-AT:  (Thanks to Chronocidal for the additional info)

The blue sloped piece with the hexagonal sticker motif in the second photo could be from 7667: Imperial Dropship:

The white Bionicle pieces on the third photo are definitely from 8747: Visorak Suukorak:

I believe the rest of the pieces are way too generic and could have come from many different sets, but somebody will definitely correct me if I'm wrong.

There are a few non-LEGO pieces as well:

And

The mostly-smooth plates in OP's fourth picture exist in the AT-AT set (as the side panels on the body), but not in the AT-TE set.  Same with the khaki gears in the first picture.

Just as an (obvious) comment: the fact that certain parts come from the above sets does NOT mean the complete set is in that bag of parts. Based on what I see I think none of these sets are there, you just have a random bag of parts.

Thank your so much for your input!

@Angel You are welcome, feel free to accept the answer if you believe this to be satisfactory.

Definitely parts of the motorised walking AT-AT, rather than the clone wars walker, other than that I agree with the above.

Thank you for the input Lex, could you please elaborate a bit on your answer? The reasoning behind your conclusion would make a huge difference to the value of this contribution.

Need help identifying or locating pieces - 4-stud T-shaped plates
I'm trying to find plates to build a baseball mascot with my kids. I can't find the actual set anywhere (it's actually a FOCO BRXLZ brand set), so I am trying to piecemeal the set. I'm not concerned with it being Lego brand, so long as the pieces will all work together to create the end product.
I've attached a picture from the instructions showing what I need in quantity and color. These are the only plates I can't find on the Lego Pick a Brick shop:

I can't speak for other brands, but I'm sure that there is no such LEGO element.
This would be a plate, but the Bricklink category has nothing exactly like this design.
The closest would be the Plate 2 x 2 Corner or Plate 3 x 3 Cross, but the first requires an additional plate, which could prove unfeasible due to the missing structural bonds, and the latter has an extra plate (which could be cut away if needed, even though that would be considered a bad choice by many).

Edit
As jpa noted below, if these parts should serve as structural support, the required strength could be achieved by attaching a Plate 1 X 3 and a Plate 1 X 1 together by their sides. These LEGO bricks are made of ABS, therefore the suitable binding agents would be acetone, cyanoacrylate (superglue), or epoxy.

Or a 1x3 beside a 1x1 in the middle; also a loss of structure, but perhaps between the two alternatives, one will work.

Thanks for reminding me that there are simple solutions as well :) Of course, there are several other possible combinations, like a 2x1 and two 1x1s, or just four 1x1s.

1x3 plate and 1x1 superglued or acetone-bonded in middle might be easier and better looking alteration than cutting 3x3 cross.

@jpa thanks, great suggestion!

I think aligning a cut cross piece would be a lot more reliable (because it's already aligned) than aligning a 1x1 glued onto the middle of a 1x3 though.

@RSchulz the best of both worlds would be to use another piece as guide to properly align the pieces before gluing then :)

What set does this bag belong to? Black, grey, orange, and blue rubber band
Code on bag is 5 number 127S
bricks are black, grey and a few orange
Contains small flat white box 6049725 which contains blue magic sand

Hi Nata, can you please add a photo of the bag or its contents? Especially the "blue magic sand" would be of interest, as I can't think of anything clearly fitting that description.

6049725 contains a blue rubber band. I think ‘sand’ is a typo by the OP.

Nata, we need a picture. Also, the seal code 127S either misses the last digit, or has some digits transposed (e.g. 12S7).

Based on the colors in the bag, the potential date code of 12S7 (you wrote 127S but I assume that is a transposition error in your post), and the fact that there is a box with blue rubber bands in it (box number 6049725) I am going out on a limb and suggest this is set 75102 Poe Dameron’s X-wing Fighter from 2015. The seal code points to a 2017 production date which is possible, as this set was still being sold all the way up to early 2018. It has 5 bags (so having a bag marked 5 fits) and the 5th bag does contain both rubber bands as well as black, grey and orange pieces.

The research you did is quite impressive. I think we might not even need to have a picture to confirm now.

Thanks for your help everyone. Hope you are right. My box did in fact contain blue powder which are perished rubber bands.  Really appreciate your research.
