Maintenance
To keep your LEGO BrickHeadz models in excellent condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust your models regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, gently wash individual bricks with mild soap and lukewarm water (not hot water), then rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store your LEGO models away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic.
- Handling: Handle the models carefully to prevent pieces from detaching. If pieces do come off, reattach them according to the instructions.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:
- Missing Pieces: If you find a piece missing, first double-check all packaging and surrounding areas. Sometimes small pieces can be overlooked. If still missing, contact LEGO Customer Service for replacement parts.
- Difficulty Assembling: Ensure you are following the instructions precisely. Sometimes a small error in an earlier step can affect later steps. Disassemble the problematic section and re-build carefully.
- Loose Connections: If pieces feel loose, ensure they are fully pressed together. LEGO bricks are designed to fit snugly.
