I've been sharing videos about my LEGO builds and people started reaching out to me asking to help them ID LEGO sets. I realized I had a lot of knowledge about how to ID LEGO pieces from years working as a LEGO Master Model Builder at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Bay Area. It became a fun challenge to ID sets and I was glad to help people reconnect with something so meaningful to their childhood.
