Key word for me "LIKELY".
How are we supposed to know for sure if a item was not released if no one can
put one up for sale?!?
So my request is that you allow sellers to sell the item, but only in the conditions
of sealed or new.
|
If anyone has one of the unreleased items and would like to list it for sale,
they can inform us. Then we'll look into it and remove the "not released"
flag if necessary.
|
But most sellers won't think of that or have the time to bother.
|
Have you seen the BrickLink catalog? There is so much stuff here that is not
cataloged anywhere else. Over the 24 years that this site has existed, I would
say that almost anything that any user has had has found its way into the catalog
somehow. And we still get rare and old stuff submitted all of the time. If any
of these sets actually existed, they would have most likely turned up by now.
And like Jonas said, if they do turn up, all they have to do is send a message
or make a request like everyone else who wants to contribute.
|
Ok, but could you put a note on the items stating, that if you have one to contact
the admins?
| |
| | | | Since there isn't anything here that we can do from the catalog side regarding
the unreleased items (we can neither change the wording nor the listing policy),
I have moved this thread to "General".
|
I do have a set to be added to the unreleased catagoy though.
(No I don't have it, but I know of it)
Where do I add it?
|
What set would that be?
|
The legendary 60278 Crook's Hideout Raid.
Better known as "the dynamite factory"
|
I have had prototype parts that I actually have in-hand rejected from the BrickLink
catalog because they were never officially released. My impression is that those
sets existing in the catalog at all is really just a remnant from a more permissive
BrickLink era.
|
For all I care, if it says LEGO on it let it in.
|
Well, that goes for many of us here, but we don't own the site or make the
rules.
|
My question is, why is TLG so picky?
|
They are protecting their brand. The Osprey 42113 isn't in the catalog despite
it making it into the hands of some people legitimately.
|
WHHAAATTTT!!!!!
That's not right!
|
How is it not right? The legitimate sales were made prior to the official release
date but Lego could not legally recover those. Some were also sent to people
to review. Unreleased sets are not part of the official Lego history. Not sure
if that was before Lego bought BL or not, I seem to remember people complaining
they couldn't sell sets they obtained here and that to keep the goodwill
between Lego and BL it was agreed to not allow them. Same reason people who receive
items to review before the release date agree to not release pictures or reviews
befor a certain date. Thou I can't always trust my memory.

Their company and site. Ask them, why bother us?

Because they have a brand image to uphold. If you owned a large, international,
billion-dollar company, you might understand.
