Looking up the more unique parts on Bricklink helps narrow it down a lot :thumbup:

Hi Black Falcon,

Yes it seems to be deleted but thanx for the solution, Do you have a special technique? And am I not allowed to have sets identified?

Thanx a Lott.

Probably a Mod saw both of your threats and thought you opened the same twice - well aside from the pictures linked, they were exactly the same and actually one thread for both would have been enough ;).

I basically used the same way Forged in Lego mentioned above, which is not that easy honestly, unless you know how the parts are named on Bricklink and which ones are rare. Well lets say it took me some trying around to find it lol.

Windshield parts are usually the best (most printed Star Wars ones are in 1-3 sets, unprinted a little more common) but difficult to look up the parts.  Generally I do it by figuring out length x width (eg. '10 x 4', '6 x 4') and searching for that.  Though ones with bars or clicky clips might be listed at a different size so I'll also try +-1 length if I don't see it.

With less rare parts where you have say 50 possible sets, knowing the general colour theme helps a lot.  E.g. if it's a grey piece, but you know the set's got a lot of blue and black in it.  You can scan sets for that.

 

Another option that's more effort is put all the parts you can identify on a Rebrickable part list and then use their Build button to search for sets that match that list.  I've only had wrong sets be better matches in the Minecraft theme, cause it sticks to a very limited set of pieces, and sometimes small sets have every piece present in a larger set, so the small set will look like a better match.  It lets you input quantities, which can help narrow it down if you think the set has a whole bunch of 2x2 slopes or something.

 

Mostly I'll take the first option (rare single pieces) if I'm shopping bulk lots and trying to get a better estimate of what's in them.  Or of course helping out other people online from photos.  Once I buy bulk Lego, I want to have it on a part list anyway so I maintain my (~25k) loose parts in Rebrickable lists, and from there it's convenient to see what sets are nearly complete.

On BL I searched the catalog BrickLink Reference Catalog Search for a slope, decorated in blue and there was already the desired slope: Slope 18 4 x 2 with SW Imperial Logo Pattern (Sticker) - Set 7667.

Anyway Iwas immediately thinking of this set but didn't know anymore the number (getting old). And of course, the others are right, first you should look for special parts where it helps if you know what is special. E.g. a plate 1*4 is not special and giving 1826 results for color black or 6050 sets altogether - this isn't narrowing down the results...

That doesn´t look like it is from any particular set, but more like someone just had fun building something from the bricks he had.

That looks like the escape pod from the 2006 playscale star destroyer set 6211.

Hi icm,

I do have some more parts of the 6211 in this lot. Thank you so much for putting me into this direction. I got some work to do :-)

GreetZ,
