Into the catalogue? Definitely not. There are many parts made by machines owned
by LEGO and sold by LEGO that should not be in the catalogue. For example, LEGO
Discovery Centres used to have engraving machines where they would engrave your
name or a word on a brick. They might still do it, it's been a long time
since I went. They own the machine, they sell the part. There would be unlimited
catalogue entries if they were allowed. Same with the new torso printing machines.
As to whether they should be allowed to be sold as customs, that is another issue.
However, if something was made on a LEGO owned machine, how can you tell? If
those are allowed as customs, they'd have to allow parts engraved or printed
on other machines, as they wouldn't be able to tell them apart. And then
they could end up allowing the sale of IPs they don't have the license for.
As for undecorated but custom parts, is there really a difference? If they are
custom ordered, made on demand, then there is little difference.

and therefore allowed to be sold here? Maybe more definitive guidelines would
be useful to all of within the secondary marketplace?

for me its about 0.5%-2.0% of orders I get messages regarding missing items (and
once for a helmet that broke in shipping). I wouldn't say I'm "irritated"
by them I usually just think back and wonder "how did i miss that?"

"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

these were obtained in a legal way? Should that be allowed.

Many other unique things too, as I recall. Just bad timing though, and had I

I'd say no.

I'd say:
* anything sold at LEGO on line, past or present,
* OR sold in LEGO PAB or such LEGO shops (and which aren't a local production,
apart if it's LEGO advertised)*,
* OR sold by authorized LEGO distributors or resellers (toys shop, supermarkets...)
AND in all case which hasn't been officially retired for safety or image
(see this famous plane...)
*Example, this one described here, I'm not sure it can be sold here.
But it shows the LEGO brand, has been produced by a LEGO PAB showing its name,
so I'd say yes?

| When Guidelines are in the picture i cannot help myself:
The term written as "parlay" on the Pirata Codex was known as a right
in the Code of the Pirate Brethren, set down by Morgan and Bartholomew, that
allowed any person to invoke temporary protection and brought before the captain
to "negotiate" without being attacked until the parley is complete.
Following that , i argue it should be allowed atleast untill it is clear that
it either is or isnt allowed.
A quantum mechanical approach, approved by pirates.

Which parts have been on a PAB wall that have not been released? The BAM minifig
parts get catalogued and I cannot remember any examples of parts from PAB walls
that have never been released. Even if there were other legitimate routes for

I believe a lot of Warm Yellowish Orange parts were recently released at the
Florida LEGOLAND PAB? They definitely were never released in anything else, and
they were most likely old product from the model shop that had been sitting around

of LEGO history to obtain many rare and unique items.

Yes from individual LEGOLAND centres (I also mentioned them earlier) but not

Parts like that are officially released, same with all the BAM exclusive parts.
They are not in retail sets, but they are widely available and catalogued here
as existing. Hence there is no issue with them being listed compared to the illegitimate
parts.

I guess all we can do as sellers are blocking them until they learn how the site
works.

This would be easy with two orders:
31 US stores have all four torsos
8 US stores have both the soccer ball and net
|
I know, but I would prefer to buy them all from one place if possible.

It seems like it’s not possible

Seems, as I've argued over the years, a misunderstanding of the BL "neutral"

Possibly. There are a few fallibilities commonly seen with the use of the neutral
feedback here, all argue for it's "neutral" impact as I see it.

I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

Which parts have been on a PAB wall that have not been released? The BAM minifig
parts get catalogued and I cannot remember any examples of parts from PAB walls
that have never been released. Even if there were other legitimate routes for
other unreleased parts, it doesn’t mean all unreleased parts should be allowed
here.

| You have to fulfill the wanted list yourself (aka place orders by going into
your wanted list, clicking "buy all" and having the system select stores/create
carts for you)
Then you place the orders and apply them to the wanted list once they arrive
and you've verified you bought everything; if you want to verify you've
purchased everything without actually having it in your hands, copy the wanted
list and apply the orders to it to make sure you've hit 100% of the parts
needed

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?

The part has been retired for 30 years. This is 99.9% sure just a test part that
escaped the factory.

They have left positive for others. Hopefully they realise they have made an
error based on the comments and change the feedback.

How long on average does someone have to wait for the whole wanted list to fulfill?
Thank you

It depends on the parts. If the parts you want are no longer in production and
hard to find now, then probably never.
