Navy Trooper Fenson Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) My 8970 Robo-Attack arrived yesterday and look what I´ve found between the many 1x1 tiles with measurement printing. The tile is only printed on the inside, the studless surface is plain grey. Because I only found one thread for misprints on Star Wars figures, I think one thread for all other parts and figs could be useful too. I would like to know how much such a misprint could be worth.

ILikePi Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) isn't there already a topic like this? Because I only found one thread for misprints on Star Wars figures, I think one thread for all other parts and figs could be useful too. That's a cool misprint you got there, Navy Trooper Fenson. I don't have any misprints, since they're extremely rare. Edited June 7, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
Ricecracker Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Can we also post mis-molded parts here? I have a 1x1 brown plate that has excess plastic that I can photograph later today. Edited June 7, 2009 by Ricecracker Quote
chris_austin Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Can we also post mis-molded parts here? I have a 1x1 brown plate that has excess plastic that I can photograph later today. Yes, mis-molded would be cool to look at I would like to know how much such a misprint could be worth. It is rare but it doesn't have much use so I personally wouldn't put a very high value on it. Still cool to see though! Quote
JCC1004 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I think the last one was only about minifig misprints. Personally, I find minifig ones alot more intereasting. It looks like another print was put overtop of the gauge. I would still love to see pics. Quote
LEGOMAN132 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I have a padme with one eyebrow. she is one of my coolest mini figures. Quote

Shadows Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Misprints are rarely valuable in LEGO, unless they serve a purpose. A face that has a different expression would be considered potentially useful, a tile printed on the wrong side is basically useless outside of a bit of curiosity factor, so you can't really expect any value. I prefer marbled bricks, a completely different kind of mistake resulting from bricks being made during a colour change and having some of the old and new colour mixed together. I would be interested in buying any that are out there, feel free to PM me. They aren't really useful either, but at least they look interesting. For example: My current collection Quote
Shadows Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 How? How what? As I said, it's just what happens when they are switching the machines from one colour to another. Usually, they're tossed out, I guess. I'd love the definitive answer on that, better yet, a big bucket of them. Hello LEGO factory? Quote
The Who Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 For example: Exacly where do you find these bricks? Bricklink, buying sets hoping for them? Quote
Shadows Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Exacly where do you find these bricks? Bricklink, buying sets hoping for them? I've heard of them appearing in sets, but never found one (I had a technic arm that was very vaguely marbled once, but really useless). As for where... it's a secret. Can't have everyone beating me to them. Quote
Lord Admiral Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Never had a misprint (and those marble bricks look really cool), but I did receive a second bag that contained armor, sheilds, spears, and some other pieces in 8877 Valdek's Dark Fortress. IMHO, one of the few respectable sets in the KKII line, BTW (made only better by having paid only half MSRP for the set), but that's neither here nor there. I'm still not sure what I want to do with the extra pieces. Right now, I have the armor on top of spikes (spears) set high on the fortress, in the way that cities might put heads on a spike as a deterrent. The rest I've bagged up. I'm waiting for the pieces in the bag to reach critical mass when I can build something with them. I'm not sure I'd like misprints. They may be of no consequence (e.g. if the minifig has a dual head, and only one side is messed up), but I can see how they'd be annoying, as in this case. But those marble bricks...here's hoping TLG doesn't throw them out but would opt to sell them as a novelty item instead. I'd love to pick some up just to have around. Quote
Shadows Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I hand type them these days, it's faster, and usually more efficient. Quote
Izzy Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Nothing special, just looks like the paint was smudged before drying. That vomit slope would make an awesome tie dyed pillow for a 70's/80's MOC. Quote

I heard somewhere that people who build things at LEGOLands use the marbled bricks to support the inside of the sculptures and whatnot that are made, since they won't be seen from the outside. I wish I could get some cool looking messed up/marbled bricks and misprints. Edited June 8, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
ILikePi Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Your a vomit brick You're all vomit bricks :sick: Quote
HumanPackMule Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 The brick made me think of bananas for some reason when I saw it. Quote
VBBN Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Back on topic... I have had various misprints, productin errors, extras, and such in my time of collecting. Let me go over some of what I know (pics later) -Second silver winged helmet in dwarves mine(only in the first wave of them) -A off-gray brick. -Black Epaulette(not sure how this happened, but I love it! Got it in an edventurers set, which was supposed to have a white one.) -2x6 plate with the bottom all messed up(studs were "mushed" and morphed.) -Red EpIII Clone Helmet Quote
