My grandfather left a large collection of Modulex Bricks and Tiles. Is there
a demand for Modulex bricks? Is it worth the effort to record the stock and sell
it via Bricklink? Some bricks are not listed on Bricklink and many are still
sealed in their original packaging.

Depends on what you have and how much time you are willing to invest....

I'm in the same situation as Calle_P and I wonder what you mean Maxx. I have
a couple of thousand pieces of the first Modulex (Lego, pat. pend) and my wife
has sorted them by size, colour, etc. and number of course. I want to sell all
of it to the best price possible. Does it mean that selling them "piece by piece"
will yield the best price?

I think it is pretty high but I am not too familiar with that system. Certainly
from what I have seen in groups suggests there is demand.

this thread will work for me, I think.

Can you not attach the 1x1 M bricks into a clip? They wouldn't be upright
but at least they'd be attached.

They couldn't stand side by side because the clip is going to hold it crooked.

Buy a Modulex plate to add to your colorchart

Quite genius, I must say. Though there is always a bit of clash in colors since
Modulex uses a different color sceme (and plastic?)

Maybe there should be a new color in the Modulex color chart?

Missed this one

Yes, it is more like normal LEGO yellow.

Can you tell if it is ABS or CA?

Thank you , Starbeanie I agree, I think the picture is actually a 2 x 4 x
4 cupboard
So next step would be a change request to update the catalogue?


In Modulex, starbeanie writes:
  I'd have to dig out a catalog, but normally they didn't state sizes.
Looking at the picture and the fact that Modulex is cube based, I would agree
with you that it is 2 x 4 x 4

In Modulex, thebrickening writes:
  Ahh okay My bad... But from the picture it is quite difficult to make out
that this should be 2 x 6 x 6. Was that evident from the text accompanying the
picture or how?

  Hello everybody,

How sure are we about the entry for Mx1384 (Modulex Furniture Cupboard / Object
2 x 6 x 6 (Glued))? Does anybody own one?
Reason for asking is that I found an official Modulex box marked 1384 and filled
with 12x cupboards, but of size 2 x 4 x 4 and also guled except the top tile
is NOT glued. I don't believe this one is in the catalogue...
Also the current picture of the Mx1384, seems to be a picture of a box and not
of the actual cupboard...

I'd have to dig out a catalog, but normally they didn't state sizes.
Looking at the picture and the fact that Modulex is cube based, I would agree
with you that it is 2 x 4 x 4

  Ahh okay My bad... But from the picture it is quite difficult to make out
that this should be 2 x 6 x 6. Was that evident from the text accompanying the
picture or how?

I’d say “brass,” not “gold.”

Indeed, that's more accurate
  
Otherwise, nothing to add….

Nice picture.
It's amazing what is out there, and how you manage to collect all this bricks.

Hi there.
Maybe one of the modulex experts here knows how many colours this brick have?
I have 14 colours and I know that I'm missing at list 4: mx medium blue,
mx violet, mx pink-red & mx light bluish grey.
Is there more colours I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance,
Yoav

Hi,
Could you add the names of the colors to that picture of yours? I just started
uploading my Modulex bricks, and I have a hard time figuring out the colors,
and your photo is the best I saw so far to help.

Thanks,

According to the Priceguide (last 6 months) you have them all, 15. But who knows
what is out there, as test bricks perhaps?

Very commonly used for showing prices in say a hotdog stand back in the 80's
(in fact my local one still do that!) so I'm positive that the baseplates
where just cut down to whatever size needed

I fondly remember my grandma's workplace, they had a HUGE Modulex board with
loads of colours etc, used for meetings, scheduling etc. When I used to visit
her I always tried to sneak into that room and play with "little LEGOs" .. which
would completely mess up eveything for the company!

TLG did not (still don't?) make baseplates back then, another company in
Billund(?) did that. They probably also handled the Modulex plates

Now, why there's a plethora of 8x8 I have no idea about

Cheers,

Ole

letters avialible they might be used as door tags or name tags with changeble
letters. I've also seen huge planing boards with those letters based on modulex.
However I have never actually seen architectual use of Modulex bricks but I can't
see any use for an 8 x 8 square for this use in particular.

They seem to be so common in different lots that I would be surprised if they
were all custom made from larger baseplates by the users.

Does anyone know:
- If these were actually made by Modulex?
- How these were used?

They could be from the Planning board era, but I am not certain about that.
