I was wondering if this large display fig was ever released as a minifig?
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=displayfig04

I have the large one and would love a mini to sit next to him.

davee123 · February 2012

I'm pretty sure that the torso print doesn't exist exactly as it appears on the large fig. I think the print is probably closest to this print from 1995, which is the same timeframe that these large figs started showing up in store displays:

AstroBBoy · February 2012

Thanks DaveE - that looks pretty close.
Do you know what sort of figure this torso print is from? (So I can do a search for one and try and buy it)

AstroBBoy · February 2012

Ah, I just found it on the database looking under 1995.
Thanks again for the info!

davee123 · February 2012

Sorry, picture was a link to the BL page-- Guess it's hard to tell!

AstroBBoy · February 2012

Ah cool. thanks.

BrickDancer · February 2012

I love how knowledgeable the Lego-historians are on BrickSet. So much info resource all in one forum that spans decades. Thanks DaveE!

AstroBBoy · February 2012

Couldn't agree more!

ktmo · February 2012

I was going through my old sets and found a toy chest that says Wells Fargo & Co. and it is filled with 14 minifig heads, but none of them have faces. I don't think the chest is Lego. It is too big. Can anyone think of why I would have so many heads with no faces? Did minifig originally not have faces? I have a bunch of sets from the late 70s early 80s. Any ideas?

oldtodd33 · February 2012

The original lego minfigures with no arms or movable legs did not have faces but they also had solid stud tops just like any brick would

ktmo · February 2012

Thanks. I do have a bunch of the armless minifigs.

Brewer51 · February 2012

Can anyone help me with this little guy? I can't find him anywhere. Thanks.

bluemoose · February 2012

^ here you go -

He's from the 1997/1998 'UFO' theme, came in 4 different sets (6901/6902 being identical except for packaging - one was boxed, the other in a polybag)

Brewer51 · February 2012

Wonderful! Thankyou very much. I knew some-one had switched his hands!

U2A2 · February 2012

Hehe, you guys are good...

graphite · February 2012

Anyone know what this part is from? Or part number? It is stamped lego but it doesnt have a number anywhere visible.

oldtodd33 · February 2012

That's BL part #2605c01 used in 7 different sets from several different series.

graphite · February 2012

^ thanks!

teamladd · February 2012

Hob · February 2012

teamladd · February 2012

No answer about the SW Advent Calendar figure?

oldtodd33 · March 2012

You have to look in sets under Star Wars. BL breaks each calendar down by day, so you have to search the set since it's not a real minifigure. Anyway the catalog # is 7958-5.

JoeCrisp · March 2012

Hi there, I picked up a large collection of Lego Duplo from a charity shop, it had 450 picture bricks, but these 9 were a bit different, any help saying what they are would be greatly appreciated.

JoeCrisp · March 2012

Please ignore my question, I have used bricklink on someones reccomendation, to find out what they were.

prevere · March 2012

^KillDeer

That looks like a POTC pistol - but from the MegaBlok series.

The mouse droid has a minifig number and that's not a real minifig.

mrredpants · March 2012

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum to post - please let me know if it is incorrect and I will re categorize. This is my first post.

I have this brick and am trying to find out what it is so I can determine it's value if any.

Thank you.

graphite · March 2012

There is a sticky thread for on going part ID. An admin will probably move this. Your part is

2454px6 Brick 1 x 2 x 5 with Mayan Minifig Pattern

from 5936 and 5986

Diggydoes · March 2012

Hi there,
i´ve received a order from TLG incl. the Slope 75 2x1x3 i´m just not sure wether i have it received with a Hollow Stud, or a Completely open Stud. It´s def. a open stud, and on the ground it reads "Lego"but i have no idea if it´s Hollow, or Completely open. Help anyone?

Diggydoes · March 2012

Or can somebody define me the difference between a "Hollow Stud"and a "Completely open Stud"?

graphite · March 2012

Pretty sure "hollow stud" is when just the center of the stud is cut out but a "completely open stud" is when it is basically drilled through into the center of the brick. For example the typical "1x1 headlight" brick has the side stud drilled through so that would be a "completely open stud" and most technic bricks have the top studs "hollow" like http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/32064

Diggydoes · March 2012

Thanks for your fast answer! That makes sense! So my part is a "Hollow Stud"-one.

graphite · March 2012

Actually it appears "hollow" and "open" are both used (at least on Peeron) for ones that have a full hole so not sure. The only other thing I can think of for hollow is if it isnt solid from underneath. Someone else will probably chime in that has better knowledge of it than me =)

I love reading this thread. Learn SO much!

Bluefox1966 · April 2012

Hi guys, is this a panel or a fence ? Any idea what sets there in I need another 6 for my project.

This is a fence. You can view the Bricklink page here: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30077

oldtodd33 · April 2012

That's a fence 1x 6 x 2 BL part number 30077.

Bluefox1966 · April 2012

Cheers Guys.

legofan · April 2012

I'm a bit of a newbie to lego, and I've been trying to figure out this set for awhile. Any ideas? Are they even real lego, or imitation?

oldtodd33 · April 2012

M@%& B*%@* . Not LEGO.

LegobrandonCP · April 2012

^^ Seeing that makes me want to puke. That is definitely NOT LEGO.

Being snobby isn't a very nice way to attract new people into the hobby, y'know.

Oops, I certainly did not mean to be snobby. It was the Mega B_____ that disgusted me.

Well, welcome to Brickset and to the LEGO world. I'm sure you will enjoy this hobby, but not your wallet. ;-)

JoeCrisp · April 2012

Hi can someone tell me what this is, picked it up for 20p in charity shop.

peterlinddk · April 2012

@JoeCrisp - that looks very much like a LEGO Racer - one of the ones with an air-pump.
Actually, I think it is the 7971 - BAD racer: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=7971-1 - just missing the spoiler wings.

JoeCrisp · April 2012

@peterlinddk Thank You
