| | Dear BrickLink Sellers,
Over the past several months, we’ve seen a variety of Transparent and Glow-In-Dark
minifigures flood the market. We have determined these to be illegitimate LEGO
items, despite the fact that many of them are imprinted with the LEGO logo.
Of particular note are the Darth Vader minifigures, Batman, and other superheroes.
We will start removing these listings this week, both from the custom items section
and from listings under catalog entries. This includes whole minifigures and
minifigure parts. For those of you who regularly file Problem Item For Sale reports,
please add these to the things you screen for.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

Having run across a marbled brick yesterday, it got me to thinking. How does
this policy relate to Grangemouth Marbled 2 x 4 bricks?
It's fairly well known that those bricks were created by employees off the
record, much like these items here. So do they get the same treatment, or is
the statute of limitations up on Grangemouth bricks?

The difference in my eyes is that Grangemouths were not made to make a profit.
These new parts are clearly being made to create monetary value.
The test bricks are normally hard to find, sure batches show up every now and
then.
But these new parts are being sold to stores across the world in high numbers.
A fascinating problem.

If I was one of the employees there, I would find the current 2x4 mold and produce
for my self a modern 3001 in every color that exist!

I would love to have a black-with-glitter or trans dark-blue satin brick, but
I am happy that this niche collectors market has not been spoiled by this issue.

What about all the odd colored SW Blasters? Are they allowed legitimate Lego
parts?
|
Some are those are pretty funny. One seller lists as hard to find, then another
lists 100+ of them at about 50c each.
