They don't feel like LEGO, but they say LEGO, but I can't find any regular
LEGO numbers on them...
anyone else had this recently??

If the logo is on them, they're real (the converse is not true, of course).
But:
- they could be cellulose acetate (CA) - old bricks
- they could be Samsonite (Samsonite made Lego bricks under license and they
used the "open O" logo on them - sometimes you'll see bricks with upside-down
or sideways logos on the studs)
- they could be one of the newer plastics used by TLG

| | Wow...
I guess it's a coincidence?
Last time was years ago when my daugther Mia was playing drums, LEGO released
Mia in her room with drums.
One thing's sure; we now have to buy this (wonderful, I must admit)
one...
Adios "savings"

That is what I wanted to ask: are you going to buy it?

| I’d love to try it but couldn’t justify the expense due to being out of work
with a serious illness.
Have the time though, maybe one day.

| I've been collecting/buying Lego for the past 20 years and I sometimes see
such differences between seemingly 'identical' parts. It could be mold
wear, but most likely parts made at various plants, and the molds do not always
have the same 'finish'. Also, in the past many parts were shiny, but
it seems lately Lego has switched to more 'matte' parts are those more
robust to scratches.

I got a batch of wide treads (part 42479) on Bricklink that do have the LEGO
logo on them, but are definitely fake (see picture - real on left). They are
shiny, not matte. I have the same part from a kit I bought at Legoland, and they
look totally different. I'd really like to know what to do next; should I
contact the vendor about it? Report it to someone on Bricklink? Post about it
and identify the vendor for everyone to see? This is my very first post on Bricklink,
so any guidance is much appreciated!
