Great little FOTD: Yellow Castle sticker!

Hey all,

This actually happened last week, but I'm still smiling over it.  My local
consignment shop often has $25 to $30 bags of used Lego in Ziploc bags, most
of which I pass on now because my collection is pretty solid and I still
have much sorting and rearranging to do.

However, last week was different.  I stopped and found only one bag, but it
contained an old 1x6 yellow brick with the paper banner sticker from the
entrance of the Yellow Castle!   WOOT!  The fact that the bag also contained
some choice Classic Space decorated pieces was gravy.

The best part is that the sticker is in excellent shape given its age, and
the fact that whoever applied the sticker knew that it would last longer if
it was applied on just the 1x6 as opposed to the way it is depicted in the
instructions (where it covers several brick).  I know I'll never find the
other stickers for the set as they also cover mutiple bricks, but it sure is
nice to have that extra detail on the set that I've rebuilt.

Dave S.

In my case, I "found" it because it is one of my favorite parts, I own at least 40-50,
if not more.  And I happened to have a copy of 7239 in my office to reference ;-)

These are my first two copies of the part(s), but I've seen them in a bunch of
MOCs and am glad to get my hands on them (even if my actual LEGO building has
waned lately).

Dave!

These sound like the 1x4x4 doors in 7239 but very few other sets -

It's a decently rare part. Not very useful without the 1x4x4 frame (6154) to go with
it, though.

Actually, I didn't recognize the part until reading your reply, but I do have
two of the 6154 in red.  Since I also have about half a dozen of those
trans-light-blue roller-door elements (4219), I'm guessing that this represents
part of the 6571 Flame Fighters set.

Thanks for the info!

Dave!

These parts look like they came in a fire engine-ish set, but that's the best I
can do.  Any guesses?
Is this it?

Good grief, how did you find it?  I looked under "door," "hatch," "panel,"
"shutter," "fire," "firetruck," etc. etc. etc.

But that's it--thanks for the help.

Dave!

The single best find, IMO, was this piece in not-terrible condition, though the paint is slightly chipped. I didn’t see any other Classic Space elements to prove exactly which set this came from, but I’m still glad to have it.

Upon further inspection, I found the 1x4 blue brick with the tell-tale “LL924,” so that’s one mystery solved, but here’s another one.

I found a tow-truck hook assembly that looks a lot like the one in this set, but the hook is metal and may be a non-LEGO element. Can anyone tell me what other sets included this part? It’s red as in 601 and has a textured slope face similar to (but not exactly like) that of standard LEGO slope elements.

Also, I found two vertically-mounted doors that I can’t locate in a parts reference search (and they don’t come up under “door”). They’re gray and have horizontal slats kind of like the classic shutter element. This is a terrible description.
