The LEGO wheels are most likely made from styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). To
process SBR, plasticizers are usually added to it to help with the flow of the
material into the molds (they literally make the SBR more plastic). These plasticizers
usually include some type of mineral oil derived from petroleum and some type
of ester (a type of chemical compound). Over time, these plasticizers can leach
out of the SBR under certain storage conditions. You are most likely seeing and
feeling mostly the mineral oil, but I would absolutely think that the ester is
also leaching out with the mineral oil. Why? Because esters can dissolve ABS.

Cheers,
Randy

Great to know, thank you Randy

Visually, they absolutely look like they are covered in mineral oil. These were
not commingled (they were in a set box/clean) so they are not covered in dirt,
the others I encounter were covered in *stuff*

I've run into various amounts of the tacky feel, so I would imagine that
is the second compound coming out in various amounts.

I'm guessing heat? I've run into this 3 times now one the lots also had
heat warped baseplates. I've never seen it on my own/original lego which
has never experienced a hot garage.

Are they trash? Can I clean them?

I just got some

2346 Tire 30 x 10.5 Offset Tread
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread

in light grey and was pretty stoked (only came in 3
sets) and they are awful gooey messes, I have more on the way and I don't
want it to be a total loss. The weird color on a common part is so neat in person.

Thanks everyone

Crystal

I often find it in old, old sealed sets. Sometimes the tire is ruined and sometimes
I don't think so. I think it can be fixed with armor-all, but I just sell
them as-is with a comment.

Weird! I've encountered oily tires before, but just assumed it was a coating
to help them pop out of the mold at the factory or a light coating to help guard
against dry rot.

I've seen the leaching before in my fishing tackle box when old plastic "twister
tails" would start to leach through the plastic baggies and even start to melt
the plastic in the utility box they were inside.

I didn't know this could happen to lego tires too!? Makes me nervous about
my stored childhood sets.

So too much air, and they dry out and get dry-rot, not enough, and they melt.

Nice....

I'll note that the tackle box spent many a thermal cycle in a garage, whereas
the lego temps have always been more stable.

Don't stress too much, I have TONS of old tires and I've only found this
buying lego from people who were obviously not collectors. I strongly suspect
some sort of really bad storage (decades in a hot cold hot cold garage or storage
unit (which are live ovens)

I think I'm going to toss these.

Page 15.

If they're SBS and the plasticizer is leaching from them, you probably ought
to handle them with nitrile gloves, double-plastic-bag them, and take them to
hazardous waste.

Honestly, I'm inclined to go this route, as I said in the OP, I've seen
whatever is "on" these tires MELT the neighboring bricks. My gut tells
me whatever is going on here is bad JuJu.

I don't think tackle box trouble has much to do with hot and cold temperature.
All of your soft plastic lures and worms seem to be a vinyl plastic that will
react strongly with styrene plastic. Fishing boxes of that material work well
for weights and hooks, and usually don't interact with the paint on your
jigs, bu they are trouble if they come into contact with . Good quality tackle
storage should not be that shiny clear styrene plastic.

Hello everyone,

772 Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Inside Axle Holder or Stud Holder
Parts: Brick
Marked for Deletion

I came across this brick while checking the inventory of 7623
and I am wondering, does this part variant actually exist? I do not have it in
my collection and I also haven't found a photo showing the bottom (BL doesn't
have one too). Moreover, the quantities for sale are very low. I have asked four
sellers to check this variant. Two of them replied instantly and said their parts
are 3245b/c. One seller didn't answer but moved his parts to 3245b/c and
one seller didn't react at all. Based on that it is very likely that the
other parts for sale are also sorted incorrectly. But I don't know how to
go on with this thing now. How can one be sure that this variant actually does
not exist?

(Yes, there is a printed brick

772p01 Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Bottom Tube with Window Pattern
Parts: Brick, Decorated

but I am talking about the plain variant.)

Jonas

I believe Lego uses Styrene-Butadiene Styrene (SBS rubber) for their tires. Pretty
much the same material used on your sneakers like vans or converse. The edging
around the bottom of the shoe, if you’ve ever had to clean them. Also used on
many of today’s automotive parts such as rubber molding, trim, etc.

Knowing this, you should be able to determine what products you could use to
clean and/or treat the tires, to stay stoked

Remembering the proclamations you made of placing me on your ignore list, if
you've actually done so, I guess this advise is for naught and I'm spinning
my wheels here

Maybe another can pass it on.

Most of the time that will work, but the foolproof way to search is to check

This is how I added a stickered assembly a few weeks ago:

First check if there already is an assembly like yours in the catalog by searching
for "assembly slopes".

Results: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=assembly%20slopes

As you can see, there is no assembly consisting of two curved slopes 4x1. So
your assembly is a new one. Now check the first free number for assembled parts
with stickers. Open the "Sticker Over Assembly" category and sort by item number:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&catString=582&itemBrand=1000&catType=P&v=1

The highest number is BA91pb01, so your part number would be BA92pb01.

To be sure this number is not used for a recent entry, check items pending approval:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?itemPend=Y

No results for "BA92pb01", so you can use this number.

For part name, I would suggest "Stickered Assembly 2 x 4 x 1 with Circled Number
9 Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8159 - 2 Slopes Curved 4 x 1 No Studs"
(I have used the name of similar part BA43pb02 as a template).

If exactly the same assembly (two curved slopes 4x1 in our example) is added
with another sticker later, that assembly will get number BA92pb02 etc. That
means "BAxx" stands for the speficic assembly and "pbxx" stands (as always) for
the sticker or imprint.

By the way, the stickered assemblies have to be renumbered in the near future
to get an extra 0.

Jonas

never for any other types of plates.

I found that 2 of the 6 I have do not shown the markings on the front although

They are not clones as they have lego stamps and I parted them out new from sets

So are you saying it is preferable for the database but not for buying and selling.
This seems like the better solution?

Would you have 6 entries on your own webshop?

Well, buyers seem OK with puzzling around with minifigs buying them either whole
or in parts. That's also a situation where people are searching for two things
in parallel that come down to the same thing and it's much more common.
It would mess up my syncing software, for one thing. And I think generally item
names being adaptable depending on what is released next is not a good situation.
So yeah, if I can choose, I'd have multiple entries, but that's just
my opinion.

I thought that this door

64390 Door 1 x 4 x 6 Round Top with Window and Keyhole, Reinforced Edge
Parts: Door

fit onto this modified brick

60583b Brick, Modified 1 x 1 x 3 with 2 Clips (Vertical Grip) - Hollow Stud
Parts: Brick, Modified

(either version of the 1X1X3 brick.)

The catalog pages for both the brick and the door list other parts that they
are compatible with. I thought that these 2 parts worked together, but from
what I see here, they do not. Perhaps the relationship just hasn't been
added yet? Can anyone tell me for sure if that door will fit into the clips
of that brick?

Thanks,
David

It has the 4 slots, but I can't tell from the limited pics the long and short

The four I have are the same length but as one has two slots and the others 4,
I guess they are all “long.”
The length is a bit more than a stud: you can’t put a brick in front of the socket
and aligned on studs. (You can put a plate because the slots are high enough
for the tiny “bit more.”)

Oh, if you have

those are shorter, by around 1mm.

I can't discover anything panel-ish about this part. I'd say it's
window, door, technic, other, vehicle, or pretty much anything except a panel...

What do you think it should be?

Since

30528 Arch 1 x 8 x 6 (Portal)
Parts: Arch

is an arch, 49699 should perhaps just be a slope

I don’t quite follow the logic here

Half an arch might be a slope but, surely, an arch + an inverted arch is not
a slope, it’s a cylinder!

At least it has something in common with

30180 Slope 45 10 x 2 x 2 Double
Parts: Slope

Okay but then it should be a Slope AND a Slope Inverted. And both Double. So
does that make it Quadruple or Double-Double?

We really need a catmin who is used to deep and rigorous classifications.
I don’t know, maybe an entomologist or something like that?

So it's a door/window/panel/technic/vehicle/slope/arch/brick modified/cylinder..
I think this part just broke the catalog

Brickowl has it as: Parts/Uncategorized

So they don't know where to put it either.

70931 Electric, Train Speed Regulator 9V (12 VAC) Power Adapter 120V 60Hz

I can't discover anything panel-ish about this part. I'd say it's
window, door, technic, other, vehicle, or pretty much anything except a panel...

What do you think it should be?

Since

30528 Arch 1 x 8 x 6 (Portal)
Parts: Arch

is an arch, 49699 should perhaps just be a slope

I don’t quite follow the logic here

Half an arch might be a slope but, surely, an arch + an inverted arch is not
a slope, it’s a cylinder!

At least it has something in common with

30180 Slope 45 10 x 2 x 2 Double
Parts: Slope

So it's a door/window/panel/technic/vehicle/slope/arch/brick modified/cylinder..
I think this part just broke the catalog

My first thought is technic or window frame

Well:

1. Window (or door) frame implies you could put a glass or panel (or door)
inside. That seems very unlikely with the technic holes in the way.

2. It’s been used in System (City) sets for now BUT it sure looks like a Technic
Brick, yet not really.
So Technic could do but not really “Technic Brick” and there are no similar parts
(that I know of) in the other Technic categories, that would mean it should fall
in the general “Technic” category, which is already overpopulated.

I’m not envying the catmins

Yep certainly a tough one. It's very clear what it is: A hatch. But how to
catalog it in the existing categories?
I'm voting Door Frame. Alternatively, Vehicle. It may be used in space bases,
but the whole point of hatches is that things are built up from compartments
that have been vehicles at some point.
Hmm, anyone remember the days when we had a "Space" category?

Funny this one - Lego put it into their Bricks, Special category where most of
the modified bricks go. It does look a bit technic Panel, though.

Really do wish we could edit messages. Forgot to say technic bricks are also
in the Bricks, special Lego category - so technic panel could be the right answer????

Also, it doesn't make much sense to call this part a cylinder:

49949 Cylinder 6 x 10 x 4 1/3 with Open Sides and Pin Holes
Parts: Cylinder

When its own counterpart that fits into it is a Slope:

45411 Slope, Curved 6 x 8 x 2 Double
Parts: Slope, Curved

How about putting them both in Vehicle, Cylinder, or Aircraft?

I saw someone selling different colors of SW blasters like Orange, Dark Red,

I thought the listings might be from sets waiting to be catalogued, but some
are from April/March. They don't appear to be custom, so are they getting
from LEGO directly

Red one is for sure prototype/test color

Is there any point in the abbreviation PDG? I just checked, only three parts
use that, so as a search term isn't it useless? And if people need to know
what the assembly includes, the "item consists of" tells them that.

If they are too long for the submission form, that's an indication that they are simply too long.

These names are over the limit by only a few characters, and just the Torso Assemblies
are affected.

What are you trying to accomplish by describing every detail?

In the absence of a proper tag-system, I wanted to include searchable keywords
and use descriptive names, such that these pieces are easier to find/identify.
The existing names are fine if you are already familiar with the part/theme
in question - Part (973pb0619c01), for example, provides no searchable
material beyond names that are likely increasingly-unknown to AFOLs (since Blacktron
is roughly 30 years old!).
