They come from set #0000 Test Bricks:

Joking aside, if I understand correctly, test bricks are produced as part of
TLG's manufacturing process. Some TLG employees like to keep test bricks
as souvenirs or to give to friends, much like retail store employees are allowed
to take cardboard boxes from work that would otherwise be discarded. Eventually,
some of them end up for sale on BrickLink. Some other types of rare items share
similar origins. I'm sure maxx3001, Stuart9, and other rare brick collectors
can provide more details about the origin of these bricks.

For 2x4 test bricks, produced in the 60s / 70s by chemical companies for Lego
( in moulds provided by Lego): they were given out as presents / were available
for employees for a few pennies.

| | Anyone know about a pink foam play sword I have come across. It has 2008 on
it but I cannot find it in the “gear” section anywhere. There is a large red
mock crystal in the handle and the part number printed on it appears to be 852223.
Any help much appreciated. Picture attached.

There`s a Lego logo at the hilt. This sword is part of this princess costume:

I can not...
But from your input (including pics) it's obviously a mold anomaly. Misprints,
there are galore. But mold mishaps are far fewer. Very nice collectible, imho

I listed them separately...

While they look like bubbles, they just seem too perfectly symmetric in the one
that has two and too reproducable in location to be random in the others.
|
|
As I said: I don`t think these are air bubbles, there`s a open cavity in the
inside.
Maybe someone who owns an orca could look at?
