"Escaping the factory" is not the same as legitimate routes such as from
a PAB wall.
It is old. It might have happened a long time ago. But if LEGO wants to stop
illegitimate pieces from being produced and stolen now, they have to put a stop
to all pieces like that. Otherwise, in 30 years time, those new illegitimate
Vader helmets all become fair game to list as they are old and it happened a
long time ago.

Than what about these known stores that list old "Q-parts" from the 90s
in vast amounts. These parts probably originate from model shops. How do we know
these were obtained in a legal way? Should that be allowed.

I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

I think the point is that even if you bought the part here a decade ago, who
is to say that that seller's source was legitimate?

| Hello,
The Bricklink administration removed one of my selling listings. The reason was
that the parts were listed in a non existent color.
The part was actually a genuine lego part, listed in the correct color. Only
was it never released in an official set, so it does not show up in the color
guide in any set. Is it no longer allowed to list such parts? As far as i know
this type of parts could be obtained in a legal way from a pick a brick wall.

Yes, there are a few reasons why these requests have not been approved:
1. The inventory you've recently submitted for the part you want
to add includes exactly the same parts which you want to delete from the inventory.
Therefore, adding the complete assembly will not be any more correct than including
the individual parts (unless the parts came assembled in new sets).
2. I don't know if these parts came assembled in new sets or not
and you've not addressed the issue. If the parts came assembled, then it
would be correct to add the complete assemblies for both the red and blue connectors
with wires.
3. Approving these changes would eliminate the match to the different
type of connector which also came in this set. This is not desirable. The entirety
of the connectors and wires in this set, both regular and alternate parts, should
be changed at the same time if they need to be changed.
4. The wires in this set should be measured. As far as I'm concerned,
this is an undetermined entry which will one day be deleted from the catalog:
|
The wires do come assembled in sets 118 and 138. I will do whats needed to change
both blue and red connectors at at the same time.
Should i add a wire with the right determined length to the catalog than?
