if i were you, i would fill up my sink with hot water and soak it, the dish washer will probably get it to hot.

i have melted some lego befor. and they dont have a very high melting point.

also once done in sink, let it dry in the sun or something lol

It will either melt or be smashed to pieces in the diswasher, they do use a fair bit of force/water pressure so dont do it bud.


Youre best bet is strip and rebuild, thats half the fun of lego so get it done:thumb:
