The reporter let me know that the video was released on Friday, but I forgot
to post it until one of my buyers messaged me that he had seen it.

Wow another interview!
Have you experienced a rise in sales lately?

I guess that FT finally figured out that LEGO is more than just bits of plastic

How can an unreleased set from 2021 be "legendary"?

2 to 5 years: legendary.
More than 5 years: mythical.

Ah, to be young again….



But really as a city collector I would love to have that set.

Now this is confusing, as a City Collector you would love to own this set, but
you say you have one in hand and want to sell it?

Did I say I own it?
I said I don’t own it and that I just had a set that I would like to add to the
list.

I've only skim watched it so far but will watch it properly later. It looks
professionally done.

  Was thinking more about the doomed sets in the unreleased catagory, and went
for a second look.

I clicked on a item and noticed that the banner on the top said, "This Item
was Likely Not Released".

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.

Some of these were released or more likely leaked. In fact I think MOST of
the sets in this category saw some level of distribution official or otherwise.
For example I have MSIB the Christmas set with Santa and Mrs. Clause that was
supposed to be a free give away a few years back. It as far as I know has no
official listing here or on lego.com. I brought this up in a forum post some
years ago and people got quite angry that I acquired an "illegal" set
and was told then that they would never allow a listing on BL since it was leaked
not released. Over the years I have found 3 such items that are in my collection:

1526 Space set in box opened
3872 Exo-Force in polybag MSIB
40489 Christmas Set MSIB (2X)

I also have set 6500 but it has no box...so I don't include it. The instructions
appear official but as of now I cannot confirm the authenticity entirely.

Additionally, many users have mentioned in the past seeing the unreleased cage
match for the original spider-man (1375) run as part of a TRU display back in
the day...although nobody I know has ever confirmed the set itself. The display
itself has come up for auction from time to time.

Lego and by extension BL seem to not want them listed in my experience. Probably
due to the ethical implications of them being leaked, smuggled or flat out stolen
from sources if a release was never made officially. Which I can understand.

My question is, why is TLG so picky?


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

Hummm
* large, ermm no
* international, YES
* company, YES
I'm so close!!!


Methinks you forgot the billion-dollar part.

  I recently sold a set, and the buyer came back saying there are SEVERAL missing
pieces. Those are all LARGE pieces (not real cheap). He also said he checked
inventory against BrickSet (Not BrickLink). I'd like to give the buyer the
benefit of the doubt, but when there are 20 large missing parts (Including a
linear actuator), I'm rather not sure.

If it's going to keep you up at night, tell the buyer you want the set back
for a full refund. Send him a shipping label, tell him to pack it back into
the box he got it in, and drop it off at a post office. I think it'll be
cheaper to do that then buy all the parts on bricklink and send them onto to
him.

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.

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.

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.


That is correct. The ones there are grandfathered in, but things are very different
now that the LEGO Group owns BrickLink.

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

I don't believe a note is necessary since the items are already flagged.

How can an unreleased set from 2021 be "legendary"?

Take photos of what you send out. That way you know if you made a mistake and
your buyer might 'find' the missing items after being prompted.

For all I care, if it says LEGO on it let it in.

Ps. should these items be added to the list?

1569 Lamb
Parts: Animal, Land
 
Part No: 11575  Name: Dog, Friends, Poodle
* 
11575 Dog, Friends, Poodle
Parts: Animal, Land


No. They are just undecorated versions of items that were released. They definitely
exist, because they have to exist as a plain part first before being printed.
And some are just test run colors to test molds.

I am a bit confused, is this a used set, and you did not check to make sure that
it was complete before you listed it? Did you know it was complete, and the buyer
is saying it is not?
seems very fishy that the buyer is wanting replacement parts that are the expensive
ones that sends up red flags.

I would offer a refund as the other member suggested, try that first then if
not get the parts from bricklink dont break up a bunch of sets that will cost
you more in the long run.

If it were me I would buy the parts on BL and have them sent directly to the
buyer or offer a refund. That way you don't have to mess up your other sets.

Might be better to send what he has, then replenish from BrickLink sellers later.
That way he's not giving out a buyer's address to a third party and can
account for the parts' condition directly.

Well, BrickLink terms of service say you can’t transfer an account.  You can
sell (or give away) your items, but not the account & feedback.

OTOH, your situation is particular (incorporation & between spouses… but OTOOH,
you’re still two different people (or three, if there’s a “corporate/juridical
person”)).

Try asking the Help Desk… but then, the answer may take some time.

linear actuator), I'm rather not sure.

On a BrickLink sale, only the BrickLink Catalog/Inventory is the reference.

It could be like instead of checking Toyota parts info on the Toyota website,
one would check another website (even an informed one)

The specific set is

 
Set No: 42029  Name: Customized Pick up Truck
* 
42029-1 (Inv) Customized Pick up Truck
1063 Parts, 2014
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road

Well, BL says it has 1063 parts, Brickset says 1063 and has only 1061 (directly
from LEGO).

And instead of comparing the inventories manually, you can compare the very same
data here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/inventorycomparison/main.page?sourceA=0&invA=42029-1&sourceB=1&invB=42029

… and it’s only a matter of variants.

Methinks someone (you or the buyer) used the wrong set number

To me it looks like the buyer 'misplaced' a bag. Nothing I can do here

you gotta learn to take a loss as there is no 'clear' solution in sight.

linear actuator), I'm rather not sure.

On a BrickLink sale, only the BrickLink Catalog/Inventory is the reference.

It could be like instead of checking Toyota parts info on the Toyota website,
one would check another website (even an informed one)

The specific set is

* 
42029-1 (Inv) Customized Pick up Truck
1063 Parts, 2014
Sets: Technic: Model: Off-Road

Well, BL says it has 1063 parts, Brickset says 1063 and has only 1061 (directly
from LEGO).

And instead of comparing the inventories manually, you can compare the very same
data here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/inventorycomparison/main.page?sourceA=0&invA=42029-1&sourceB=1&invB=42029

… and it’s only a matter of variants.

Methinks someone (you or the buyer) used the wrong set number

I'd trust bricklink over brickset when it comes to Inventories. Brickset
imports them from other places.

It might be helpful to name the set? I don't see how one can troubleshoot
a problem, or even determine whether a problem exists, without this information.

Did you confirm that the BL and Brickset inventories differ?

What set did you sell him?

You should check yourself to see if there are any differences in the databases.

FYI I think we've got Rick's situation sorted out.

Our admin staff does not have access to the communcations with various members
over the years, so they cannot act as quickly or with as much confidence. Because
of the sensitivity of the situation, they follow a strict protocol that puts
security above everything else.

This page asking for verification of the "Owner" of the store, name DOB

This has turned off ability for our customers from being able to pay. So we
cannot get any orders, this just came out of the blue and we have been selling
for 18 years.

How long did it take for you to get Russel to help you out. I have sent 2 messages
to him and have not heard from him yet.

I have customers ready to place orders but they cannot checkout.

That sounds like a scam to me. But who knows.

It's the exact opposite.

Seller has been scammed, they ask seller to confirm it's HIM and NOT the
scammer.

Sounds very normal to me.

good spot. i see his store is closed with a message that he is under attack.
it seems that this specific phishing attack has gotten quite a few sellers.

In your store settings do you have One-Time PIN enabled? It's there for
your store protection, and BrickLink may have automatically turned it on in the
wake of recent hacked accounts. You can turn it off if you want, just be careful
of your account if you do.

You've been hacked. This happened to me 2 days ago. Go look at your profile
and you will probably see that your email has been changed.

- Turn off the payment
- Download your inventory
- Close your store
- Put up a message and banners that you've been hacked and are straightening
everything out - - Search your inventory by newest items and delete anything
uploaded
- Delete your store/shipping terms

Contact Admin Russel right away and he will help you straighten anything out.
Let me know if I can be of any help as well.

Did you click on a button or a link from an e-mail which looked like being
sent from BrickLink?

They'd have to get past my two cats to get at my inventory. I wish them luck,
especially if the cats are hungry (which they always think they are).

If you place a quote as a buyer then your username & address is shown

Just noticed, thought it showed for both orders and quotes but either way it
still shows for orders so it’s not much of a difference

Have they changed it then? It used to be that a quote didn't send the seller's
email address or postal address.

You may be right. But it still shows for orders which can be frivolously placed

Have they changed it then? It used to be that a quote didn't send the seller's
email address or postal address.

Do you have tea? I’m still up for about an hour and a little

I think you need the one on the right Nubs!

Well I’m off for a short bit. Hopefully your are able to get it resolved soon!

Thanks for the company! He's been quiet for a while now. Probably hoping
to lul me into complacency, but I'm still refreshing constantly. The next
admin shift can't come soon enough

I have taken control of your account and sent you a message using an old email.
If you don't get my message, contact me at admin@bricklink.com

The cavalry is here! Thanks so much Russell, I've sent you a reply.

Victory!

Doesn't every buyer have the seller's address anyway, once an order is
placed?

   I apologize to the forum for spamming, I am just trying to get an admins attention
and protect my livelihood.

ADMIN,

Newest info: Just got 2 more weird emails. One was confirmation for signing up
to BrickLink under the username par16 asking for email confirmation. another
was a login from a new device. I did not click either.


I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.


The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Hacker, continues to delete all my messages, re-open my store, add inventory
etc.

Spamming won’t help you.
The admins will find you without doing that.

If you are using a modern smartphone to satisfy picture requests, it is very
likely that the pictures contain location data as to precisely where you were
located when you took the picture. Unless you turn that off, or strip the EXIF
data, you are telling the recipient where you store your inventory.

Something to keep in mind.

Both emails game from "support@policyking.net". I don't believe either

I still doubt their legitimacy and logged in from a "bricklink.com" shortcut

I think there’s a few phishing emails doing the rounds at the moment

No doubt they are scam emails. If you go to policyking.net then it redirects
to https://www.bricklink.com.co/ and shows a fake bricklink login page. The only
active boxes are for your user name and password. The forget password and problem
links are dead, as are the stay logged in and register boxes.

Did you really just ask an Englishman (or woman) if they have tea?

You never know these days coffee has wiggled its way into many places
sadly thankfully tea prevails!

I only drink tea, the coffee is for everyone else (I’ve never been a coffee drinker)
Proper Tetley tea though, none of these fancy flavoured tea some people drink

Same! Orange Pekoe (the standard) tetley tea is the only tea for me! We recently
got one of these 1100 count bags

Yes, the guy's putting it back I guess?

Anyway for 1 or 2 hours I can't see ANY inventory to buy, so OP's pretty
"safe".

Been very vigilant about any change:

- Immediately closing the store when it gets re-opened
- Deleting any added inventory
- Adding hacked messages back anywhere they delete them

Doing what I can until an admin pops up

That's the name of the game.

Consider yourselft lucky, you didn't have anything serious to do today/tonight
I guess!

I'm off a bit. Good luck!

Too bad today wasn't a monthly hour long maintenance.
