Moriboe Posted January 20, 2021 I like to rotate the sets I have on display and make alternative builds, so I'll be breaking apart sets often. Problem I found is that old bricks (as often the case with classic space) can be fragile and lock together too firmly, resulting in the occasional broken piece. For some sets I don't dare follow the instructions out of fear it won't come apart again with the pieces intact, usually when pressing down plate upon plate. So after another incident today I was wondering if it is a known issue and how others deal with it? Considering for neo classic space usually blueish gray is used, maybe you don't use your old sets for MOCS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuppylodders Posted January 20, 2021 I haven't tested it, but I wonder if it might be an idea to submerge the build in warm water to warm the plastic up a bit to help loosen the material a little...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moriboe Posted January 21, 2021 I'll keep it in mind next time there's a pressing need :). Thanks for the tip! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted January 27, 2021 Actually, you're right... I have the same problem with the lego bricks of late 70's to mid 80's. Especially the sides of plates easily break. Be very careful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
