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

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.

Because they have a brand image to uphold. If you owned a large, international,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

To me it looks like the buyer 'misplaced' a bag. Nothing I can do here
but give him the benefit of the doubt and send him the extra parts. The thing
is, all those parts he claims are missing, I do NOT have them. I'll have
to break/amputate other sets. Pity ... live and learn as they say. Sometimes
you gotta learn to take a loss as there is no 'clear' solution in sight.

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.

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.

So it would be change of proprietor.

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.

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

Did you confirm that the BL and Brickset inventories differ?

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