  1. To restore the color of ABS plastic that has yellowed over time, you have to place it in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and oxiclean under the sun or UV light for a couple of hours. I have tried this with a handful of old white yellowed lego bricks and it worked. I used 9% hydrogen peroxide (50ml) with a table spoon of oxiclean (this only made a small amount, enough for a couple bricks to soak in the solution for 5 hours under the sun). Don't use bleach it makes the bricks brittle and they will break. If you want to know more about how to make the solution and the chemistry behind the reaction there is a website called Retr0Bright where it is all explained. -TopHat
  2. I started off taking my minifigs apart and sorting them by; heads, legs, torso, headgear etc. Then a year ago I had the urge to build them all back together as they originally came from TLG (with accessories) using all my set instructions. I placed each individual figure into a small zip-lock bag, which all go in one big box. At the moment I have most of them in their original form and some sorted into their parts so I can customize whenever I need to. As for the collectable minifigures, I keep them on their stands, those I will not mix (at least for now). Currently I am considering if I should take them apart again, as I can’t seem to make up my mind. -TopHat

  8. My wallet does not allow for 2 of the same set. Although I do make the exception if it is a set I really really like, there are good parts or it is something very exclusive. -TopHat

  14. Greetings everybody, finally decided to join eurobricks. I am a fan of the Town/City theme. My favorite sets are the town diver sets and the modular building series. I plan on entering the minifigure series 3 building contest (category A), so you should be seeing me around soon. -TopHat
