Traditional LEGO bricks had the LEGO logo on top of every stud, however ever since the diversification ofLEGO elements this is not always the case. Sometimes the LEGO logo can be found in the more obscure and unnoticable places on the pieces.

The LEGO horse for example - I have no idea where to find the LEGO logo on this magnificent beast or if it even has one at all. Could someone point out where it is? If in fact there is one at all.

Now, are there anymore examples you can think of?

They are in fact hollow... That was the first place I checked. However I've checked under different lighting conditions and if you look closely enough the logo is there.

Ok, what about a mini-figures head? The head only.

The older heads (solid stud) had it printed right on the top of it... I don't think theres anywhere for it on the newer heads...

Yes, I know where it is on the cutlass, but where is it on the Castle Sword? Also, where is the logo on plumes? :-D

A guess: on plumes, it'll could the wheel they come attached to. I can't check because I don't keep them! Can anyone verify?

Uhhhh... I thought plumes were the feathers that could be attached to the mini-figures' hats. I'm not sure what a plume is in realtion to a wheel.

The plumes come on a 'wheel', three types of plumes per wheel... I think thats what he meant... ON that note, I have a few at home & I will look at them when I get off work :-D

Ahhhh yes... Now I'm with it... I forgot that's how plumes come. Come to think of it, I have several mint condition plume wheels except I've got them stored and right now I can't be bothered getting them out.

The moral to this story is never write and essay, prepare a slide show and watch Revenge of the Nerds II while posting here... You'll seem quite dopey.

I always have this problem when I receive a bulk lot purchased from someone through Ebay.

The auction listing will say "100% Lego" and things like that and they will swear up and down they checked twice, but inevitebaly when I received my "50 lbs of lego" or whatever that lot is it is always 49.8 lbs lego and .2 lbs junk....

I guess my point though is some junk is hard to tell. Especially for an AFOL like me just coming back from my dark ages in the past year or so. Many specialty pieces were released in the 7 or so years I was "away" and so sometimes I find myself thinking, "is this a Lego piece and I just can't find the logo, or there is no logo, or its a farking megablock!"

Sometimes I',m not sure and so for that reason I end up saving this pile of stuff that are the "maybes"

I keep the Megabloks and other copies as a sort of black museum or rogues gallery. Non-lego bricks are pretty easy to identify, but I usually end up with a load of non-brick plastic parts, most of which are broken bits of other toys completely, but some of which might be specialist parts, like unknown minifig tools, or maybe technic parts, or vehicle axles.

Unless one knew it was part of a LEGO sets, would the car wash brush be recognisable as a LEGO piece?

Is that piece also used in the street cleaning vehicle sets (whose numbers escape me, but we discussed them a while back)
