Those are all legitimate parts. I just don't get the hyper paranoia buyers
have nowadays about counterfeit parts. The forum is replete with posts about
parts that people think might be fake because they don't match 100% with
the parts they have from the past few years. As time goes on LEGO makes new
molds and makes tiny changes on most iterations of parts. I suppose the Chinese
clones are to blame. Sigh...
Dear god I agree.
I go through hundreds of lbs a year and the only counterfeits that are even remotely
convincing are usually marvel figs once in a while. No one is bothering to copy
plates and other regular parts.
Some of us older fans have seen all the iterations, in real time, so I do get
that perhaps I can see and spot things newer hobbyists can't. That said I
agree its a way too common concern.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I was unable to find any online resources
to help me identify the historical mold patterns. If someone here on the forum
has the knowledge and pieces, it would make a very compelling blog post. It would
likely go a long way to reduce the commonality of the concerns.
