To be clear: It has just been added (well, yesterday), by Admin.  I only noticed
it.

Can you explain why it says marked for deletion?

I think because this set was "recalled" by TLG, so it can not be sold
on Bricklink.

Obviously.

But maybe addressing the actual "why" such a set would be pulled is what
WildBricks and so many others would appreciate understanding better? The backstory
of developing and producing such a product, only to pull it after it's been
retailed and on the shelves, as they say?

Go ahead, give the reasoning behind such a costly and troublesome move by TLG
in dealing with countless retailers and customers? Can you say, military/government
contract and lawsuits or the threat thereof

likely due to the faulty design of the set, which would require either a recall
of all sets or redesigning the set and then offering replacement parts to all
customers (but depending how fundamental the flaw is, it might not be fixable
without extensive changes, in which case a recall is needed). The "military
vehicle" thing could have been the "final straw" on choosing the
route, or it could have been a complete coincidence

Core gear issues with a build is a pretty believable reason

Oh, yes, now you say it I see it 😅

I just wanted to add to the atmosphere¹ without making a full decor… but that’s
a bit weird (had to use rubber colour too, because the drapes were mirroring
the scene).
Ah well, as they say, “the critique is easy but the art is difficult.”

Why can you part it out to your wanted list? or store inventory?
I know it is a "banned" set, but should would be nice if it could be
added to a wanted list to make it easier to find all the parts.

You can download the inventory, and then you edit it a bit to make a WL that
you can upload.

Or you use BrickStore to make all the conversions for you.

You can also import the inventory in Studio (all the parts are available; you
can even find the instructions).

I just want to add my opinion - I think I should not be deleted, but if needed
set so it can not be sold or bought

I see it as a part of history, and we should not change history. It was made,
so it exists, and has its right to be listed here
Selling and buying is a different case

I just want to add my opinion - I think I should not be deleted, but if needed

It’s “marked for deletion” to prevent selling/buying, not because it will be
deleted.  It’s explained on the set’s page.

Marking for deletion is the only way to prevent buying/selling something while
still keep it in the catalogue.


  I see it as a part of history, and we should not change history. It was made,
so it exists, and has its right to be listed here

That’s why they eventually added it.


  Selling and buying is a different case

That’s why they marked it “for deletion” the very same moment they added
it.
