agp548 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I like to file the end of my brick separators to a sharp point, kind of like a prison shank. I then sell them and use them as homemade weapons. SHHHH don't tell lego that I am turning brick separators into weapons or they might stop including them in sets.

Darth Lego Lover Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Always use the seperator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Lover Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wow! I'm 99.9% sure that the Lego plates are not supposed to do that. Maybe you are putting too much force on the brick separator. That's my thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yep, all the time. It's a nice tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard74 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I certainly do, the person who designed this thing is a genius. Getting too much of them though. I have more than 10 from sets that I built, that's just a waste of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I use mine all the time, they're great. So useful. Wish I had one as a kid, I could have avoided many a bleeding gum and cut finger. Not to mention it keeps the Lego in nice condition. I noticed lots of my old Lego had dings and little chew marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredgen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've been using the same one for over twenty years. Extremely useful, I can't recommend them enough. Should check out the minifig crowbar as well. Recently acquired one and it's quite handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubzero Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Yes. Best thing ever. Edit: I add one to every BrickLink order if the sellers have them. Edited November 22, 2014 by dubzero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toycrazedchris Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Just picked up a couple of these "Brick Poppers" since my daughter has hard time using the Lego separator. Really good purchase so far, much easier for her to use since it is easier to hold. On the downside, it is made of a metal (aluminum?), so it can damage the bricks (and fingers!) more easily if you are not careful.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather the separator get damaged than the lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I understand what you are saying but I don't worry too much about damaging a .03 cent brick. For us it was all bout enabling my daughter to take them apart. Especially tiles and plates on a baseplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
