#set identifying

I salute you for your dedication to locating legos. I myself run @original-post-locator, a blog dedicated to locating original posts (ie finding links to twitter screenshots).

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you go about locating lego sets? Do you have certain lego databases or websites you consult?

Have a nice day. :3

Hiya, nice to meet another gimmick!

I’ve been building lego since I was firstborn (not a joke my first set was lego 5357 “large quarto bucket”) and I’ve always had a deep hyperfixation with lego since.

When I’m identifying I will first see if I know the part or set off the top of my head then I’ll use brickset or bricklink which are lego database sites to confirm details on them!

If I do not know them, I’ll take everything I know about what’s in them (the theme, color, type of part, etc) and backwards search through those till I find it!

This one’s lego set is 6776 “Ogel control center” and released in 2001!

It released under the Alpha Team theme for 50.00$ and has 410 parts!

now to talk about the unfortunate timing of this set and the comic that came in its instructions... the comic shows Ogel launching his rocket and bombing a city to make evil zombies for his army, he then returns to his base to plot his next attacks...

In future releases of this set the comic would be replaced with panels that couldn't be associated with 9/11 and previous sets that had the old box art would get a sticker placed right over

I’m @trans-bright-green-machine and @trans-bright-green-machine is me, we are one in the same, two sides of a coin, mirror images (they’re my other account)

Sadly I’m not a bot and just have a deep hyperfixation with lego

I’ll be using the tags: Set identifying, Part identifying, That’s not a set nor a part…, Qna Along with whatever theme they’re from! If I’m identifying parts in a moc I’ll use Moc parts!
