Then don\u2019t let anything untoward happen to them, alright? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What_to_do_before_packing_LEGO_sets_for_moving\">What to do before packing LEGO sets for moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you\nstart packing your LEGO sets, there are a few important steps that you are advised\nto take in order to have a smooth packing experience from start to finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, you\u2019ll probably feel the urge to skip some of those preliminary steps, especially when one of them suggests that you leave some of the LEGO builds behind. Of course, you wouldn\u2019t want to even hear about NOT taking ALL of your LEGO sets with you, would you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Inventory_your_LEGO_sets\">Step 1. Inventory your LEGO sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Examine each\nindividual LEGO set in the house and ask yourself whether it will be worth the\ntime and effort to pack them up for transport. If the LEGOs belong to your\nkids, then do the inventory together with them to avoid possible\nmisunderstandings at a later stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most\nmove-it-or-leave-it decisions will be super-easy to make, especially when it\ncomes to the more expensive sets or the ones everybody loves. The trouble is\nthat there are likely to be some specific LEGO kits that will be in serious\ndoubt as to whether they are worth the packing and moving hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are\nsome good reasons why a LEGO set may have lost its assumed right to be\ntransported to the new house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Children are known to lose interest in LEGO builds over time. You, as a parent, may have already noticed that trend, and that\u2019s ok. LEGO can still remain a lifelong passion for some but the majority of kids will eventually grow out of it and turn their attention to other more high-tech hobbies. <br>Speak with your young children about how strongly they feel about keeping each of their LEGO sets.<\/li><li>Some of the construction sets in the house may already be damaged (broken) or have missing pieces &#8211; something that happens all the time. And it\u2019s up to you to assess whether or not such incomplete LEGO sets will continue to bring fun and enjoyment for your kids and for yourself after the move. <br>If you just know that a LEGO build has already served its purpose, then paying to transport it to the new home won\u2019t make much sense in the end.<\/li><li>It\u2019s possible that you may not have enough storage space for all the LEGO sets in the new house. That\u2019s really unfortunate but it\u2019s also quite likely if you happen to be moving into a smaller place (downsizing). Plan ahead so that you don\u2019t end up wondering where to store built LEGO sets and their boxes after the move. <br>Unfortunately, moving house often requires plenty of sacrifices when it comes down to what to take with you and what to leave behind. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/moving-inventory-sheet\/\">How to Make a Moving Inventory List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Do_the_right_thing_with_the_leave-behind\nLEGOs_\">Step 2.

You\u2019ll need those to keep the small LEGO elements from getting lost during the chaotic move. <\/li><li><strong>FIND <\/strong>the original LEGO boxes, if you can. They are great for transporting disassembled LEGO sets &#8211; after all, those boxes did survive an international move to reach your home, remember? <br>In case you have no idea where those original containers are, any small or medium-sized moving boxes in good condition should do the trick.<\/li><li><strong>TRANSFER <\/strong>the individual LEGO pieces into the resealable plastic bags. Be careful as you do it to avoid spilling any LEGO bits on the floor and possibly losing some in the process. Use a different plastic bag for any construction pieces that have been pre-sorted and pre-grouped by color, type, or purpose.<\/li><li><strong>USE <\/strong>soft packing paper to wrap any LEGO pieces that have relatively sharp edges or protruding parts that could rip the plastic bag in which they will be transported. <\/li><li><strong>SEAL <\/strong>the plastic bags well, and use packing tape whenever necessary to make sure they won\u2019t open in transit.<\/li><li><strong>USE <\/strong>a marker to label each plastic bag with the exact LEGO model <strong><em>only<\/em><\/strong> if you intend to ship several models inside a single box. When transporting each model in a separate container, then you don\u2019t need to do any labeling at all.<\/li><li><strong>ARRANGE<\/strong> the filled sealable bags either into the original LEGO boxes or into standard cardboard boxes of similar sizes. For best results, you can fit plenty of pre-labeled plastic bags into a larger transparent plastic bin for extra protection. That way, even if the content of a bag gets spilled out, the LEGO pieces will remain inside the plastic storage container and you will be able to quickly identify the set model by the label on the ripped bag.<\/li><li><strong>SEAL <\/strong>the cardboard boxes using packing tape.

Clean the assembled LEGO sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve\nhad the completed builds displayed in your home for some time, the chances are\nthat they will be somewhat dusty. And since it\u2019s not a good idea to transport\ndusty items into the new home, the first step is to clean the sets before\npacking them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do that, use\na soft brush with relatively long bristles to remove carefully the settled\ndust. Another way to do it is to use a can of compressed air in order to blow\naway the dust that\u2019s accumulated onto the sets &#8211; just make sure you hold the\ncan a few inches away from the set so that you don\u2019t blow away some of the interlocked\npieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter\nwhich method you use, it\u2019s best to remove that dust outside where the wind will\nhelp you do it even faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Warning: Do not use a vacuum cleaner to\nremove the dust for fear of having small pieces sucked into the machine. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Take_photos_of_your_completed_sets\">Step 2. Take photos of your completed sets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good\ntactic when packing and moving LEGO creations is to photograph the completed\nsets from various angles for reference if they do happen to get partially\ndisassembled during the move. That step is critically important when you\u2019re\npacking and moving <strong>original LEGO builds<\/strong>\n&#8211; ones that cannot be recreated using the standard LEGO building instructions\nbooklets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? Taking high-res photos of your assembled LEGOs can be fun. And even if everything goes smoothly while transporting your plastic construction sets (it should!), you\u2019ll have cool LEGO build photos to show proudly to your Facebook friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Step__Remove_super-delicate_parts\">Step 3. Remove super-delicate parts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is\nreally important because it will help you keep your LEGO builds safe throughout\nthe move. Think about this: most built LEGO sets have very delicate sections\nthat are likely to come off the main build and possibly get damaged during the\nmove. So, what\u2019s the best way to protect those? Remove them prior to packing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most\ncases, such LEGO sections are easy to spot &#8211; the wings of a plane, the antennas\nof a robot or a vehicle, the sails of a ship, and so on. They usually stick out\nfrom a set, making them even more susceptible to transportation damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the best\nway is to take off those extra fragile parts and pack them separately, using\nthe LEGO packing tips below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/moving-checklist\/\">The Greatest Moving Checklist of All Time<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_pack_assembled_LEGO_when_moving\">How to pack assembled LEGO when moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing built LEGO sets can be a bit tricky but you shouldn\u2019t worry too much because now you\u2019ll learn the secret of doing it quickly and, more importantly &#8211; safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wrapped-lego.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30168 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wrapped-lego.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/wrapped-lego-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>When packing LEGO for moving, stretch wrap and Bubble wrap should be your best friends. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And the\nsecret is to use<strong> stretch plastic film.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as Saran wrap, the thin plastic material will help you achieve a couple of key goals at the same time: 1) keep the interlocked LEGO pieces together, and 2) keep the wrapped-up LEGO builds from dust and moisture during transportation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the\nsteps to packing assembled LEGO for moving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>WRAP<\/strong> assembled LEGO sets in plastic film once you\u2019ve dusted them, photographed them, and removed the most fragile protruding sections from them. The stretchable plastic is safe to use directly onto the plastic LEGO elements and should keep them firmly in place until they reach the new house.<\/li><li><strong>WRAP <\/strong>the built LEGOs in large sheets of bubble wrap as the second layer of protection. Do this carefully without applying too much force onto the constructed sets. It\u2019s the bubble wrap that will provide the best protection for your valuable LEGO sets and will keep them 100% safe and intact by effectively absorbing any possible shocks or forces on the road. <\/li><li><strong>PLACE <\/strong>the protected LEGO creations into suitable containers &#8211; either cardboard boxes of the right size. The usage of large plastic bins is highly recommended as they will serve as a final hard-shell layer of protection. Also, consider using office paper boxes that should be deep enough to fit most small to medium-sized built sets. <\/li><li><strong>TRY <\/strong>fitting two cardboard boxes together in case a LEGO build ends up being too long, too wide, or too tall to fit into a single moving box. Seal those boxes together using plenty of packing tape. Remember that your customized moving containers don\u2019t have to be visually appealing &#8211; their sole purpose should be to add that final line of protection for your or your children\u2019s prized LEGOs.<\/li><li><strong>ADD <\/strong>soft packing paper or pieces of bubble wrap to fill in any empty spaces around the LEGO builds already positioned inside the moving container. The idea is to make sure the built sets do not move around in the box but stay practically immobilized, cushioned from all sides with soft filling materials.<\/li><li><strong>INSERT <\/strong>the matching LEGO building instructions booklets too.<\/li><li><strong>CLOSE <\/strong>the lids of the moving boxes or plastic containers, and seal them using pieces of packing tape.<\/li><li><strong>LABEL <\/strong>the boxes, if you deem it necessary.
