Hi Together

Is there a way to create and sell own MOC Sets through Bricklink?

- Create own article numbers e.g. #username_001 etc.
- create BOM, instructions & pictures
- offer and sell it in your shop

MUST requirements:
- has to cosist of original existing LEGO (R) parts
- no licence infringements

Many thanks for your feedback.

best regards
Thomas

Yes, you can make custom kits and sell them as custom sets in your store so long
as they do not contain modified or non-lego parts. Rules here:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=103

Custom Sets: Custom sets or instructions may be listed, provided they do not
infringe on any intellectual property rights, including those of the LEGO Group.
Custom sets may not contain modified parts or non LEGO parts such as lighting
kits or electric motors.

Non LEGO Items: Certain non LEGO items that are deemed by BrickLink to be part
of LEGO fan culture may be listed. These include literature about LEGO products,
LEGO memorabilia, and items used to make custom sets (e.g., stickers, instructions,
and boxes). BrickLink reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine
whether a certain Non LEGO Item is appropriate for listing.

Yes! Add the set to your inventory as you would a normal set. Then, on the inventory
add page, check the box for "custom item" and upload a picture and enter
the description in the box labeled "comments".

Hope that helps.

Also remember you cannot infringe LEGO IP, so you cannot create a "Classic
Space Rover" or "Black Falcons Castle" or anything like that.

A French joke that doesn’t work quite well in English:
Say “I’m the first man to set foot on Mars!” and point to your walking on a calendar
(Fr. mars = March).

Hmm, could work if you walk on the “chocolate” bar… but sticky… but maybe it
brings luck if you do it with you left foot.

Not if you use the Classic Space logo and/or the colour scheme(s) (blue + grey
+ trans-yellow or blue + white + trans-blue…).

I think you could do one for BDP though, if you don’t name it “Classic Space
Castle.”

“Classic” could be a problem.

Okay, IDK if you are joking or not. But it would appear to be VSVN from one
perspective, and NΛSΛ from the other.

NASA avoids the bar in A to reduce costs and weight. /s

The best way to avoid infringing anyone's IP is to hire a lawyer to check
the design names. This will of course cost money for an exhaustive search.

It's better than having to pay 10x the money to defend yourself against someone
else's IP claim.

I don't think it's necessary to hire a lawyer. BrickLink will simply
remove any listings that they deem infringe upon someone else's intellectual
property rights.
