Nope.

Have a look here:

If they aren’t there, then they aren’t in the catalog. But I think all of those

Comments from Submitter:
The parts list on the building instructions list the 3665 item No. And then the build uses said part.
|
Do you have different instructions? Can you post an image and/or tell us the
7 digit number?
These are from 6073914.
~Jen

I used the building instructions from LEGO. The BI have the 366501.
Also when you look at the picture of the build set, you can see the 366501 part.
|
Sorry, I failed to specify that I was referencing the 7 digit code for the instructions.
I checked on LEGO.com and it looks like that version is 6073915. So, it seems
these parts would need to be considered as Alternates.
~Jen
|
Only if a set actually ever came with them.
6073914 is the international print of the instructions.
6073915 is the North American print of the instructions.
These instructions came out at the same time and have never been updated.
Also, you can tell from the rendered set image that the parts are shown as 3665,
so it is very likely that the set was designed with the smaller slopes (done
long before production) and then always produced with the larger slopes.
I have the North American version and verified it with a sealed set. I will have
to see if I can find my set and check the instructions again.

Our policy is that we do not accept them into the catalog. Easy peasy.

That would be a very short sighted approach since if the printing is being carried
out by Lego themselves then there should be no reason not to embrace them by
listing as a custom Item.
Any suspicious print designs can be verified checked with what is officially
available on the Lego site. Unofficial print designs are likely to be centered
around attempting to replicate designs from popular characters/themes and so
shouldn't be hard to spot anyway!

I didn't say anything about not allowing them to be sold as custom items.
I said they will not be accepted into the catalog. That is two very different
things.

No. They are just undecorated versions of items that were released. They definitely

And some are just test run colors to test molds.

I know it was to phish my seller info as often as the pattern was repeated exactly.
But even messages we reply to can do this as the system still lonks our email

Is there any need at all for buyers/sellers to see each other's email contact
info even on legitimate orders? Maybe I've been using instant checkout and
the pay now button for so long I have forgotton, but it has been a while since
a buyer has made a payment directly to my email address. Since BrickLink implemented
sales tax collection, all (at least all of my) payments are negotiated through
PayPal Marketplace.
Maybe other payment methods require an email address.
I know some people send photos via email (if only we could attach photos to a
BL message!).
I'd be perfectly happy to have "public-facing email address" be an
option that I can enable/disable at will.

You have some very good points here. The whole communication architecture on
BrickLink is definitely in need of some upgrades. They may want to start looking
into it sooner rather than later.
For example, every transaction I have on eBay has everything done through the
eBay platform. There is never any communication outside of the platform between
myself and anyone that I purchase something from. In that way, the user on the
other end remains completely anonymous. It would be a good model to look into.

Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.
As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they
receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board
- throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not
feel like BrickLink is being singled out.

Good to know. Let's just hope that our beloved BrickLink can make it through
largely unscathed. I am sure I am not the only one that doesn't want a repeat
of November 2023 to happen, but everytime someone falls for one of these things,
we get closer to that happening again. I do feel bad for those getting targeted,
but people need to be cautious.

All of it started fairly shortly after all of the extremely unpopular part merges
started to actually occur. I have a strong feeling that a user here that was
very upset about the decisions made is having some "fun" at BrickLink's
expense.
And judging from the people who are receiving phishing emails (e.g I'm not),
the phisher is probably part of an online BrickLink group somewhere else (Facebook?
Discord?) that all of you are also part of or maybe they ordered from all of
the phishees in the past and already have all of your contact information to
use.
