LEGO Ideas 21110 Research Institute
Explore the world and beyond at the Research Institute!
The Research Institute has everything that you need to explore the world below, around and above us! Created by real-life geoscientist, Ellen Kooijman (alias:Alatariel), and selected by LEGO® Ideas members (formerly known as CUUSOO), this collection of scenes depicts three varied professions within the world of natural science. Help the paleontologist study the origin of dinosaurs with the magnifying glass, map the skies with the astronomer and her telescope, and assist the chemist as she carries out experiments in her lab. This set also includes building instructions, as well as a booklet containing information about the creator and an introduction to each of the professions featured in the set.

The default box condition is “Minimal Shelf-Wear” unless there is a drop down option/menu. Here at Brickollector we want you to make an informed purchase so we have developed our own box condition grading system below. This way you can have an idea (with our best intentions) of what to expect when you receive your LEGO from us. We will pack your order to the best of our ability but occasionally LEGO boxes can get damaged from courier services.
Sometimes boxes may have price sticker or security sticker on them. They are NOT treated as "damaged" at Brickollector. We do not remove these in fear of causing damage to the box. Please note that we are not brave enough to classify boxes as perfect (even if we think they are) so we will only go as far as 9.5/10. If you are a box collector and want us to send you close up photos of the box we may be able to accommodate such requests on a case by case basis.
If seals have been broken due to Customs inspection we will describe the box condition as such. We also reduce the prices accordingly based on how much damage the box has sustained.
| Box Condition | Rating Out Of 10 | Description |
| Minimal Shelf-Wear | 9 to 9.5 | Excellent box condition with minimal (if any) scratches/creases/ worn corners. |
| Minor Shelf-Wear | 7 to 8 | Overall very good box condition with some minor imperfections such as minor scratches/creases/ punctures/worn or squashed corners. May NOT be suitable for box collectors. |
| Moderate Shelf-Wear | 5 to 6 | Average box condition with moderate damage to some parts of the box. There may be moderate scratches/ creases/punctures/worn or squashed corners. NOT for box collectors. |
| Heavy Box Damage | 0 to 4 | Badly damaged box. Box may have water damage, or ripped open in some parts. However, inner bags will still be sealed and contents will be complete. Ideal for that brand new building experience without the brand new price tag (and throw that box away afterwards guilt-free). |
