In Catalog Identification, tEoS writes:
  This statement is false. There are plenty of legitimate parts that did not have
Lego on them.


  I am going off the basic understanding
that if a single part does NOT have the "LEGO" stamp on the plastic somewhere,
it is counterfeit.


tEoS,

I have found a lot of battle droid parts with no "LEGO" stamped on them. They
do have numbers stamped on them and a copyright "C" inside a circle.

Would you say they are legitimate? I just don't want to list them unless
I find a way to confirm.

Hi everyone,

I bid on eBay lots often and am always suspicious of counterfeit Lego. I absolutely
want to avoid mistakenly selling counterfeit Lego in my store and I inspect the
lots I win HEAVILY.

I received some Super Battle Droids - Pearl Dark Gray Item No: sw0092. I see
the lego stamp on the torso and both arms, but not anywhere on the legs:

Part No: 42687 Pearl Dark Gray Legs Mechanical, Super Battle Droid.

I am trying to search the internet but can't get a definitive answer. Could
ya'll help me out which determining? I am going off the basic understanding
that if a single part does NOT have the "LEGO" stamp on the plastic somewhere,
it is counterfeit.

Thank you in advance!

I can tell you that torso is Torso SW Armor Clone Trooper with Orange Bars Pattern
Item No: 973pb0503, which belongs only to Commander Cody. Both listed variants
of Cody, sw0341 & sw0196, have orange arms, which means someone switched out
the arms for white. Did you buy the set used?


Yep. I bought it awhile ago. I just noticed it today.

Dang, well at least "Orange Arm, (Matching Left and Right) Pair Item No: 981982"
only cost around $0.25!

Hope this helped and that you can get your cody figure back to fighting condition!
For the republic!

I have heard this issue before but that would not explain poly bags like this:
 
Set No: 5002948  Name: C-3PO polybag
* 
5002948-1 (Inv) C-3PO polybag
1 Minifigure, 2015
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 7
This poly bag was officially sold by TLG and was just one minifig. This would
violate that Hasbro issue if true? Idk

I would love a SW CMF series and I hope the MCU CMF does well in sales so it
will give TLG motivate to make a new series for SW. Especially since all these
new Disney+ SW shows are coming out in 2022! It would be a perfect run off of
the MCU Disney+ shows CMF!

Hi CSC!

Like tEoS said, I would try the refund method first (https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-request-a-refund-faq406).

If no action is taken there, you can open a dispute with the seller (https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/faq1344).

Hope this helped and best of luck to you!

Could you help me ID these heads? I bought a large used lot and these heads are
stumping me...

#2 is dual sided, the other head has a scared look, the lip is a squiggly line.

Thank you for you help!

KDSBRICKTOPIA,

Yes, you can advertise a sale or a listed lot in the forum, though the "Sales"
section may be a more appropriate place to post.

The issue with your post is this lot is not listed in your store and it appears
you may be offering this lot "off the record". To sell something on this website,
it must be listed in your store and officially hosted by BL. That is so if you
make the sale, BL can collect state sales tax and their commission fee, which
is clearly stated in the terms of the website.

I hope this helped and good luck with your lot!

This was kinda of my question about forwarding, you just worded it better lol

I suspect I have had 3 different buyers like this and I haven't had any PP/BL
issues with them. The only thing I have noticed with these sellers is they don't
leave any feedback for any of the orders they make, but that is their personal
choice.
