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 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.

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.

Author: | Turez | Posted: | Nov 5, 2019 05:59 | Subject: | 772 Brick 1 x 2 x 2 without Inside Axle Holde | Viewed: | 114 times | Topic: | Catalog | Status: | Open | |
| 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 but I am talking about the plain variant.)
Regards
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.

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.
|
Most of the time that will work, but the foolproof way to search is to check
for "BA92*".
This will save you from "running over" a Left / Right pair, e.g.
[p=BA84pb01L]
[p=BA84pb01R]

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.

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

I prefer it this way. It's a rare occurrence and changing it would save only

how often this really happens?

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.

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.

Has anyone else ran into this? I have a sw0620 Tusken Raider mini but without
the markings on his shirt. He is super mint looking and doesn't look like
they have been removed. I will try to take a pic of him to show. So, has anyone
else ran into this one?? Thanks for any info.

If had to had guess, I say clone. Does it have LEGO printed on the neck?

I prefer it this way. It's a rare occurrence and changing it would save only
a few entries while making the entire sticker sheet database inconsistent.
I see how it can be a problem when you're looking to buy one, but I wonder
how often this really happens?

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.

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.
Regards,
Jonas

1) For parts, the color of the image may now be specified by adding a comma and
the BrickLink part number after the Item Number:
2) For sets, instructions and original boxes, the suffix is only needed when
it is not "-1":
