There has been a lot of news about China opening police stations in the US, tourists
who are really spies, buying farm land around our military bases and missile
silos.
And then there was the North Korean spy going out with Lenard.

In Catalog Requests, BricksThatStick writes:
  What do you mean 'add this sort of thing'? Add as an alternate item number?

If so then firstly I don't think this is a route we would take unless the
site saw a need.

Secondly does BrickStore even pick up on alternate item numbers when searching
for items? I never found a way.

Or if I missed your point please elaborate further.

Thanks
Paul.

I think they are referring to the 3D viewer in BrickStore. Not sure if that is
the same as the 3D viewer in BrickLink: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=3003&tab=V

The Fabuland tree, fabea1 has a corresponding Ldraw official item: u9213.dat

Is it possible to add this kind of thing as I see it on more popular items like
the 3003 2x2 brick.

What do you mean 'add this sort of thing'? Add as an alternate item number?

I’d say add as 3D model?  (like the title says )

Apparently, BrickStore can use them too.

I don’t know if that will affect the catalogue but I’ll inform the Studio team
about the link.

Good point! How did you order the thick 1x6 on bricklink if there are no listings
for that part? Curious myself now.

MOULD KING

while I don't know which one, the conclusion is the same: seller sold me
a fake part =(

i mean technically, Lego only makes the 1x6 Technic Liftarm in size Thin. not
regular liftam width.
you have the 1x6 not-Lego piece pictured next to a 1x7 regular width Liftarm
, correct?

were you trying to buy a 1x6 regular width liftarm?

agree it isn't Lego,
seller intentionally doing it .? eh, that part might sneak through a busy seller
sorting too fast. 50/50 on that acpect.

after magnifier inspection I got:

top item: No logo, one number: 694-01

bottom: No logo, many single-digit numbers in varios crevices, like 1 3 5 7,
and a (C) for copyright.


still no idea what brand is the topmost, but 694-01 seems a format XXX-YY never
used in Lego history, uh

  The part upside is not a LEGO part.
The part downside seems to be LEGO.

Be careful, even if the LEGO logo is not on every parts, if you don't see
it, it could be there

Surrounded in red, the LEGO logo.
Surrounded in purple, the part number.

Agreed - but also the quality of the plastic may give you a hint.

If it bends easily, seems "soft" or doesn't snap well to a known
LEGO Brick/Technic, then it can be suspicious.

Apart for parts that LEGO themselves make purposely with a softer plastic, like
Minifig swords for ex.

Hi,

The part upside is not a LEGO part.
The part downside seems to be LEGO.

Be careful, even if the LEGO logo is not on every parts, if you don't see
it, it could be there

Even if there is no Lego logo at all it can be real.

Surrounded in purple, the part number.
