| Hello everybody,
I’ve a strange issue with a bunch of used trans-red and trans-darkblue 2x2 bricks
(3003):
- Although there is “LEGO” molded on top of the studs, there is no item no molded
from the bottom.
- In addition I encounter that the clamping is that strong that I can hardly
disassemble stacked bricks.
Therefore:
- does anyone know about (transparent) #3003 not having an item no molded?
- does anyone have experience with strongly clamped bricks?
- can anyone assess if these bricks are real or fake?
Thank you!

If they have LEGO on the studs, they are real.
Transparent parts made from polycarbonate (PC) attached to other transparent
parts made from PC tend to "weld" themselves together due to intermolecular
forces in the PC.
As far as part markings:
