For those that don't know, Bret (starbeanie) is what I consider our resident
expert on Lego stickers. He long ago started specializing at it (don't know
if you still do, Bret) But I couldn't find this item either and thought about
asking you. Glad you showed-up here to answer both the OP's my curiosities.
-Thanks

Are they trash? Can I clean them?

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.

I just got some 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

| | Hey all,
Has there ever been a spot for custom minis? Any way we could add
a spot? Mainly MOC out of existing parts that are out there. Not hand made or
painted parts. Thanks.

I’d support it. I’s been put forth and discussed from time to time, but never
implemented.
As long as all the parts are genuine Lego, I vote yea.
But then again, I have skin in the game: https://store.bricklink.com/popsicle&itemID=132920648

Sorry for the late response, Mark.
I do truly enjoy your comic creations, they're superb satire. You sir, have
a gift, no doubt!
For the life of me, though, I don't understand this comic strip?
I see clearly Russell with his hair-on-fire, but don't get the storyline
or understand whom the others are? To be completely honest, I feel kinda stupid,
if it's a given for others!
