Rebrickable does something similar with its promotional DUPLO brick entries and
LEGOLAND giveaways. Currently, the “My Collection” feature here does not allow
you to add non-production parts to your collection. This would circumvent that
issue.

Adding rare parts to a dummy set would also allow them to show up on the color
guide page under the ‘Parts’ category, which could help bring attention to stores
with these special parts. Furthermore, this could help reduce the amount of erroneous
listings, as some sellers might give their discolored plate a second thought.

We do something similar with BAM parts. Why not these?
