5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your LEGO set, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe down LEGO bricks. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive water, as these can damage the plastic or printed elements.
- Storage: Store the assembled model or loose bricks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause plastic to become brittle and colors to fade.
- Disassembly: When disassembling the set, carefully separate bricks to avoid stress on connection points. A brick separator tool (often included in larger LEGO sets) can be very helpful for this.
6. Troubleshooting
Encountering issues with your LEGO set? Here are some common solutions:
6.1 Missing Pieces
If you find any missing pieces during or after assembly, please contact LEGO Customer Service directly via their official website. Provide the set number (70605) and the specific part number if known. LEGO is known for excellent customer support regarding missing parts.
6.2 Loose Connections
Ensure all bricks are firmly pressed together during assembly. If parts become loose during play, re-attach them securely. Sometimes, a slight twist while pressing can help create a tighter connection.
6.3 Difficulty with Features
If a feature like rotating engines or disc shooters isn't working as expected, refer back to the assembly instructions for that specific section. Double-check that all mechanisms are correctly built and that no misplaced bricks are obstructing movement.
