How you can help
Open the Open Requests below, look at the photo, and if you recognize the set (or even a clue — “that's definitely a Star Wars cockpit”) drop an answer. Identifications often come together from partial clues, and even a guess with the theme name helps the original poster.

Lost instructions for Hogwarts Express Collectors Edition — any tips?
I bought the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Collectors' Edition (76405) second-hand and it came without the instruction booklet. This set has over 5,000 pieces and the digital instructions on LEGO.com are 500+ pages. Has anyone found a good way to follow such long digital instructions? Any tips for organizing the build? I'm feeling overwhelmed just looking at the bag count.
Mystery medieval minifigures — what set do these belong to?
Found 6 minifigures in a box: there's a knight with silver armor and a red dragon shield, a blacksmith with a hammer, what looks like a king with a crown, a hooded archer figure, and two soldier-type figures with helmets. They all seem to be from the same medieval/castle-themed set. Any ideas?
Red Technic Ferrari — is this the Daytona SP3?
I'm looking at a partially built red Technic car. It's clearly a Ferrari based on the badge piece, and it looks like it has butterfly doors. There are a LOT of pieces — this seems like a big set. The red and black color scheme is striking. Is this the Ferrari Daytona SP3 or one of the other Technic Ferraris?
LEGO City police station — which version is this?
I have what appears to be a LEGO City police station that's partially disassembled. It has a jail cell with a breakaway wall feature, a helicopter landing pad on the roof, and blue and white building elements. There are police minifigures with printed vests and a police motorcycle. The station seems fairly large — maybe 700-800 pieces?
What Ninjago set has this gold and green dragon?
My kid has a partially built gold and green dragon figure made of LEGO bricks. It has large green wings, a gold body with scale-like patterns, and a movable jaw. There are also some ninja minifigures — one in green and one in black. We lost the instructions during our last move. Can anyone tell me which Ninjago set this dragon is from so I can download the instructions?
Green botanical-looking LEGO pieces — is this the Bonsai Tree?
I received a bag of LEGO pieces as a gift but it came without a box or instructions. There are lots of green leaf pieces, some brown trunk-like elements, a dark blue round pot-shaped structure, and what appear to be tiny pink frog pieces. My friend thinks it might be the Bonsai Tree set but I want to make sure before I start building. Can anyone confirm?
Orange Technic car parts with gears — can anyone ID this set?
I have a bunch of orange and black Technic beams, several gears of different sizes, some axles, and what looks like a differential gear assembly. There's also an orange body panel that curves — possibly from a supercar model? My teenager started this build months ago and lost the instructions. Any idea which Technic set this is?
Old gray and brown castle pieces — which set are these from?
Bought a box of used LEGO at a garage sale and found a bunch of gray wall pieces, brown wooden-looking panels, and some knight minifigure parts. There are also turret-style round pieces and some flag elements. Looks like it could be from a Harry Potter set or maybe the old Castle theme. Can anyone help identify which specific set these belong to?
How I use LEGO Technic to teach my kids real engineering
I'm a mechanical engineer and I've been using LEGO Technic sets to teach my three kids (ages 8, 11, and 14) real engineering concepts. We started with the simpler sets — gear ratios with the small cars, then moved to differential gears with the larger car models. My 14-year-old just finished the Lamborghini Sián (42115) and can now explain how a sequential gearbox works better than some of my college students. The beauty of Technic is that everything is visible — you can see exactly how the gears mesh and transfer motion. I've started a small after-school LEGO engineering club at their school. Best parenting decision I ever made.
Found a complete UCS Star Destroyer at Goodwill for $15
I still can't believe this happened. I was browsing the toy section at Goodwill and spotted a huge bag of gray LEGO pieces. Something about the distinctive wedge-shaped pieces caught my eye. I took a chance and bought the bag for $15. When I got home, I sorted through everything and realized it was a near-complete LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer UCS (75252). Only missing about 20 small pieces — which I ordered from BrickLink for $8. This set retails for $700 and I got it for $23 total. Used LegoFinder's AI to confirm the identification. I'm still in shock.
I rebuilt my dad's original 1999 Millennium Falcon — here's the story
My dad bought the very first LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (7190) back in 1999 when I was born. He kept it built on a shelf in his office for 25 years. When he passed away last year, I inherited it. The set had yellowed a bit and had some dust damage, so I carefully disassembled it, cleaned every piece with warm soapy water, and rebuilt it from the original instructions I found on LEGO.com. It sits on my shelf now. Three generations of Star Wars fans — grandpa saw the originals in theaters, dad collected the LEGO sets, and I rebuild them. The set only has 656 pieces but it means the world to me.
Need instructions for a vintage 1980s LEGO space set
I found my old LEGO space set from the mid-1980s in my parents' attic. It has blue and gray pieces with transparent yellow windshield elements. I think it might be from the Classic Space theme. I can't find the set number anywhere on the pieces. Is there a way to get instructions for a set this old? LEGO.com doesn't seem to have instructions from the 80s.
Found these gray spaceship pieces — what LEGO set is this?
I found a bag of gray and dark gray pieces that look like they form some kind of spaceship or fighter. There are angled plates, a cockpit windshield piece, and what looks like wing sections. My son thinks it might be Star Wars but we're not sure. Any help identifying this set?
