| So I was inventorying an incomplete 7676 Republic Attack Gunship when I saw these
stickers that don't look like the quality of Lego stickers and I was wondering
if anyone could tell me they were fake?

| | I have a growing collection of LEGO parts and I am still looking for the perfect
storage solution.
Lately I have been thinking about designing my own set of storage solutions,
and this is kind of a market study to see if there is a real need for new LEGO
storage solutions.
I would appreciate it if as many people as possible would take the time to answer
the following questions:
1. What do you use to store your LEGO parts?
2. Are you happy with it? Why/Why not?
3. What do you expect from a good storage solution?
Thanks for your participation!
Below are my answers:
1. What do you use to store your LEGO parts?
I use Papimax StackX, I have 46 of them.
Website: https://papimax.com/
Seems to be discontinued now.
2. Are you happy with it? Why/Why not?
Upsides:
- light, compact and space efficient
- the modular and stackable design allows one to build a storage module that
adapts to the available space while being strong and stable
- the drawers can be easily taken away on to the construction area, and this
also allows to easily reconfigure the storage by swapping drawers with one another
- compartments have an ideal size, not to small, not too big, and it is possible
to remove dividers to create largers compartments
Downsides:
- not cheap
- made of plastic
- construction and materials feel cheap and low quality, the drawers don't
always slide smoothly, the dividers tend to let parts creep out underneeth from
their compartment to the ones next to it
- cannot take away individual compartments, have to take the whole drawer or
nothing
- cannot move compartments, if you want to reorganize your parts you have to
pick up the parts and put them in another compartment, can be tedious
3. What do you expect from a good storage solution?
- modular, lets me build a storage module that adapts to my available space and
that I can extend and reconfigure as my storage need and stragey evolve
- compartments of different sizes, and I can create custom layouts easily
- I can take away only the compartments with the parts I want, and I can easily
reconfigure the storage layout without having to pick up parts and throw them
in another compartment
- construction and materials feel strong and good quality, mecanics (if any)
are smooth and reliable
- looks nice and environement friendly
- I don't really care about the price if it does all of the above

I use Harbor Freight storage containers with 40 drawers because they are super
cheap and only cost $15 but I think Harbor Freight is only in the USA so for
everyone else I recommend they check the cheapest hardware store in their area.

| | So I took a chance and bought a 75288 AT-AT walker with a damaged/open box. When
I got it, there were nine sealed bags of parts: 7 bags numbered 1-7, and TWO
bags #8.
I assumed a wrong bag had been subbed in, but looking at it more closely, one
of the bag #8s has General Veers parts in it, and the other bag #8 has 2741 -
the DBG large steering wheels that make the AT-AT's "neck." Looking at the
instructions, both Veers are the steering wheel/neck assembly are included in
bag #8.
MY QUESTION IS: Have you ever seen this before where one bag (in the instructions)
was split into two bags with the same number in the box?
|
It is pretty common to see double bags with the same number on them and I think
you're supposed to combine them when building (or at least that's what
I've been doing for years).

Thanks, my camera is like 15 years old and the lighting in my house is weird.

The 75045 under the minifig is the set that the minifig comes in and the minifig
is

Yes, I know what set sw0537 comes in but what I was asking was, is there a different
version made in real life other than the one pictured on the BL catalog entry?
Maybe one that looks more like the 212th clones in 75036 with the cheek lines
on the side of the helmet.
