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.

A lot, because I would be bidding against you.
None of us has an intact sprue with the test parts attached.

  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?

Du klebst zusätzlich die BL Rechnung ans Paket, dicken Pfeil zu den bezahlten
Gebühren und mit dickem Edding über die Adresse: "Vat paid".
So gehts immer problemlos.

can fill out the Set Change Request form:

have to manually add it for you.

Interesting! Is there a sticker/label on the base of this item? I don’t think
it’s on Bricklink yet.

No, nothing.

I came across this soccer promotional box out of 2000 (found in Austria).
On the inside of the right edge ther`s a sensor which reacts to changes in light.
When the ball rolls into the goal, the crowd of Lego figures pictured on the
sides applaud.
Anyone ever saw?

Thanks for help

Once the set is approved, it can have an inventory added to it that will contain
this part. Since this functionality exists, I have marked this request as "Already
Exists".

Cheers,
Randy


Hi Randy

I thought it was agreed not to do this as this wasn't really a Lego promo.

If I'm correct, it was WDR itself that did the printing to hand it out to
the employees.

I could be wrong

China:

Chinas Anstrengungen gegen Covid in vielen Städten und Regionen hat vorübergehende
Auswirkungen auf den internationalen Warenversand von Deutschland nach China,
sowohl an Flughäfen als auch am Boden, und verursacht derzeit erhebliche Störungen
in der Bearbeitung. In vielen Fällen können Sendungen nicht zu den entsprechenden
Flughäfen in China geroutet oder für die Weiterbeförderung im Land bearbeitet
werden. Dazu gehört auch die Verfügbarkeit von Track-Events. Um einen weiteren
Aufbau von immer größeren Volumina zu vermeiden, die zu Engpässen bei der Bearbeitung
führen, möchten wir Sie darüber informieren, dass wir unseren Service für alle
Premium-Sendungen (verkürzte Laufzeit) oder solche mit speziellem Sendungsverfolgungsservice
bis auf Weiteres einstellen, da wir unsere Lieferfähigkeit für diese Dienste
nicht garantieren können. Wir bitten Sie, in der aktuellen Situation von Nachforschungen
Abstand zu nehmen.
Warenversand für Geschäftskunden/Vertragskunden: Der Versand von DHL Paket International
und Warenpost International Sendungen beschränkt sich auf den Standard (Economy)
Versand. Die derzeitige Laufzeit ist nicht vorhersehbar, rechnen Sie daher mit
einer Laufzeit von mindestens 50 Tagen. Ein Premium-Versand kann derzeit nicht
angeboten werden. Bitte beachten Sie, dass der Krisenzuschlag aktuell nicht erhoben
wird.

Hongkong:

Wegen der derzeit über Russland, der Ukraine und weiteren Staaten bestehenden
Überflugverboten sind einige Flugverbindungen unterbrochen und für viele weitere
müssen nun längere Strecken geflogen werden als bisher. Das erhöht den Treibstoffbedarf
und reduziert die zur Verfügung stehenden Transportkapazitäten auf diesen Flügen.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist für Sendungen nach Hongkong derzeit grundsätzlich
mit längeren Laufzeiten zu rechnen. Bitte haben Sie Verständnis dafür, dass wir
die konkreten Auswirkungen in der sich aktuell rasch verändernden Lage nicht
zuverlässig vorhersagen können

I found a small lot of these numbered heaters in a Modulex collection some time
ago. Made of metal and wood (corpus) and painted in Mx Pastel Green (really the
same color).
I'm still wondering about the history behind...

I just got this Bionicle mousepad. It`s filled with liquid and inside are 4 swimming
round pads with printed Bionicle characters.
I was told, this was a promo item - maybe anyone knows something about?
I'm not familiar with Bionicle at all...

  I was wondering if anyone had any insight into how some sellers have these massive
listings (sometimes 200, 500, even over 1000) of sealed LEGO kits to sell. Not
trying to point figures, but this comes off as inherently sketchy to me - there
have been some pretty well-documented instances of LEGO theft recently, and having
several hundred kits listed on a store raises a red flag for me as a buyer. If
there's a perfectly logical reason for this that I'm missing then I stand
corrected. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this regardless.

And some people are just well off!!! I love LEGO but love my little fleet of
BMWs more. I do know of someone from England that sells here that was going
to purchase a castle a few years back but decided to invest in LEGO. Now that’s
a lot of LEGO my friend.

What BMWs do you have?
Does this happen to you? Someone asks “You have a BMW, are you rich?” My reply
is “No. I am poor because I have a BMW.”

Can confirm: that`s true...

  What does it look like inside? Are there inner walls with round holes through
them as though it were drilled, or is there something else going on?

I've taken a picture of what the inside looks like. There are 8 sets of "walls"
that go up against each other - one coming from the top part of the brick, one
coming from the bottom. My guess is that they're glued together. There is
is one set of walls under each stud.

I split one of my old 7049b's today, and it's clear to me that they're
not the same inside. And 3907c has tubes inside, so it's not that either.
Because both top and bottom of my brick look official, my best guess is that
it's a prototype.

I don't know where I got it from, but my best guess it that it was in a box
of 6 kilos of used bricks I bought a couple of months ago. That box had approx.
1000 yellow minifig heads without print (and only a few other minifig parts)
and 72 blue left doors without a single right one, and around 500 maxifig parts
(heads/torsos/arms/hands but almost no hair/hats). So I bet those parts originally
came directly from the factory in Billund, and that white brick could have been
in that mix.

/Jan

Maybe this is the same one (without bottom and holes in the sides)?
Out of Billund too...

Hi folks,
I just added hundreds of Clikits parts.
Cause there`re lots of only-Clikits colors not listed separately on Bricklink,
I did my best to sort and describe them in the comments. I know there`re builders
of UV-lighted MOCs out there and I mentioned it in the comments too.
Jelly strings and rubber/foil icons are listed as custom lots.

Have a look: great colors, great stuff...

Technically it is possible to add an inventory for that set. However, BrickLink
inventories should be based on actual set contents so inventories for unreleased
items are a bit difficult and could be misleading. I honestly don't know
if there is any general guideline for such a case.

Maybe see also https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=243408&nID=1111566

Thanks!
