Q-Elements have been defined as any element that was produced for a purpose other than inclusion in a production set, this could be for a park model build, a large subcontracted build for a brand promotion or any other number of builds where an element may be commissioned to be made in a color not previously released to the public by any means of consumer availability.

​

Recently this definition has been expanded to include elements or mold variations in colors that have been previously released in a set but have been retired or dormant for many years sometimes 30+ years but may resurface in bulk at a park PAB or in a LUGBULK buy.

​

Most often these elements make their way into the hands of the public by way of Legoland Park Pick a Brick (PAB) walls, presumably as a means of getting rid of large amounts of left over bricks from park builds and to a degree the lack of element knowledge possessed by those tasked with making such decisions.

​

However they are found they are wondrous pieces that are great for collecting and often demand a premium from secondary market sellers lucky or industrious enough to find them.
