We inspect all sets against the photos in the instructions or online before taking it apart, as well as noting any issues while taking them apart.

They have been airing out in our house since January 2022, which has helped take some of the edge off the smell, but some sets were very dusty depending on where in the house they were kept.

Luckily Legos do usually clean up pretty well.
