| | Over the years my knowledge of what is Lego and what is another brand (or fake
Lego as I like to call it!) has increased dramatically. But today I found another
piece that I had thrown into the "get rid of Megabloks pile" was actually Lego.
This is the piece (I remember also throwing out a dark red one away about 6 months
ago):
The first piece that I recall not knowing was Lego only to find out later (once
it was given away in the fake Lego pile) that it was:

Parts: Bar |
So I am asking others to share which pieces they can remember that they though
were not Lego. Hopefully this can help me an others not make the same mistake.
Probably someone has already made a list of these pieces already!!!

Oh yes, took some time to identify - the first ones went into the Playmobil box:

I have this set and this box, but it isn`t Bright Pink.

Good question.
BO's Light Pink translates to Lego #17 Rose, or ParaPink and Paradisa Pink
in other parlances
|
This tread have made me curios how a made in 2005-2006 can be listed
with a outdated color that where discontinued 1994.
The image for "Light Pink" is just a way to dark "Bright Pink".
The main image for the set confirm this.
Someone with the know-how can ask for a fix of that.

That set is one of only two Clikits sets (out of the over 120 of them) that has
not been verified from a sealed set by either member axaday or myself. If we
ever find a sealed one, we will correct it immediately. Until that time, it is
a sad reminder that neither him nor I can find this wonderful set.
|
I have two used sets. Here are some pics:
The box has the same color as:
[p=clikits115]
(Looking at the colors of listed clikits boxes, there`s a mess...)
Color comparison (from left to right): Bright Pink, Pink, Mx Pink Red (which
is according to Ryan very close to Light Pink), Paradisa Pink and Dark Pink.
So definitely no Light Pink ( like the Scala necklace too, which is Light Salmon).
|
Thank you for providing the photos! 
When I said Mx Pink Red is similar to Light Pink, I meant TLG's "223 Light
Pink", which (as far as I can tell) was never actually used in sets. Not to be
confused with what BrickLink calls "Light Pink".

I would prefer to see them in the catalog.
Used parts will show up in random lots in a few years time anyway.
Now that LEGO is using them like this, maybe it is time to reconsider.

Exactly what I think. They`re already listed in BL custom lots, on feebay...

So Lawrence at brickowl was able to deal with this and set it up so brickowl
takes the VAT required from sales and pays it to the relevant tax authorities
(just like Ebay, Etsy, displate, cgtrader) and I`m sure most other online sales
portals. But Bricklink once again has to be a little different.
I really want to rant about this, but what's the point. My trade has been

Als deutsches Kleingewerbe bin ich verpflichtet, eine USt-IdNr. zu hinterlegen
- egal, ob meine Umsätze in den letzten 12 Monaten über dem neuen Schwellenwert
von 10 000 EUR für den Fernabsatz von Waren liegen oder nicht. Das heisst jedoch
nicht, das ich Umsatzsteuerpflichtig bin (meine Umsätze liegen weit darunter).
Warum soll ich also die Mehrwertsteuer in meinen Eisnstellungen aktivieren?
As a German small business, I am obliged to submit a VAT ID number. to be deposited
- regardless of whether my sales in the last 12 months are above the new threshold
of 10,000 EUR for the distance selling of goods or not. However, that does not
mean that I am liable to sales tax (my sales are far below that). So why should
I activate VAT in my settings?

Pink, and the pink used in Paradisa sets, is subtly different, so beware.

3001 in pink is known, 3001 in Paradisa pink isn't (only as test brick).

question, does the plain ol 2 x 4 brick actually come in pink? I listed one in
error, someone bought it and then notified me that it was not pink, that it was
"bright Pink" cool, i refunded them and apologized for my inventory error,
but my bigger question is this, why did the system assign a picture of that
part in "pink" to the listing when "pink" is not listed in the known colors for
that part?
i checked the catalog and the 2 cx 4 is not shown as being in the inventory of
any set.
usually, if I list a part in a color that is not in the known color list, there
will be no image on the listing.. sooooo what gives ?
was there really a 2 x 4 brick made in "pink"?

Having checked the part on the Lego site, Lego refer to its colour as Trans White
which translates to Trans Clear on Bricklink and the important thing here is
to always catalog the colour not as we see it but as the colour description given
by Lego/Bricklink otherwise you end up creating additional sub-categories of
colour which Lego themselves don't recognise and which leave sellers with
no clear indication of where they should list their item for sale also there
are other colours that vary in shade such as Pearl Gold and yellow and if you
start doing sub categoris for one colour I'm not sure where it would end?
Bricklink would have an even bigger colour pallette with no clear certainty as
to where an item should be listed?

The world is colorful!
