Teethmarks...

[Darth Dino]

Hi

i am just that small brick (holding the fingers close together) far away been off my dark ages. So i am spending lot of time thinking of what to do when my "first"LEGO will arrive. I am wondering how adults get off small bricks e.g. two well clutched 2x1 plates. I former times i used my teeth in a professional way (without losing them)... But what about now? Are there tools or tricks to do so?

thanks

Dino

We use this:

You NEED one of these. It makes it really easy to remove attached plates and tiles that are hard to get apart.

I always just used my front teeth to pop them off when I was a child until I learned better. I was stuck for awhile before my parent's best friend gave me the Death Star and threw one of the separators in for good measure. It never leaves my sight now and I am always amazed at how simple it is.

This post just put a big smile on my face. You've got some good times comin' :)

Brick separator is worth getting. It makes disassembly so much faster. I never used my teeth. I always had enough fingernails to separate 1x2 plates.

Echoing the brick separator sentiment. I never used one until my son got one with his first tub, and now I don't know how I got along without it.

As a kid teeth, later on the seperator...

Hello!

A while back we had an interesting topic with many stuck bricks and solutuions how to separate them.

Parts that just can't be taken apart without swearing loudly
