Lepin was well known for having the Lego stamped studs...its been a few years
but there was a huge statement about this up on a certain auction site about
the counterfeits having the lego print on certain parts. The HP Castle and their
knock-off of the Executor were two prominent offenders. Often they were even
being listed in "Lego" box art.

I never saw Lupin or any other brand that produces Lego like material using
the Lego logo.
So, in my opinion if it has Lego in or on the studs it truly is Lego. I have
no doubts about this part from looking at the picture.

  Hi, I found this marbled part on in an unsorted lot and I have a few questions.

1. How would I got about listing this part?

2. What’s a good price for it?

Thanks

More photos

The more detailed images look less like Lepin...they have the proper shape in
the hollow studs and the plastic is not as translucent or sketchy. It might actually
be a legit piece.

I don't know what it would go for but it's not counterfeit.

Would it be possible to send this to one of the LEGO Customer Service representatives
so that they can tell one way or another?

If done discreetly and through channels, we all could benefit from knowing for
sure if this is genuine or not.

Cheers ...

  Hi all.

Just spent some time doing my least favourite task: Adding wheels and wheel assemblies
to inventory....

I have always liked the option to use assemblies where it makes sense to do so.
One example is where a specific tire and wheel combo only exists as one exact
example or one color combination. There are very few of those, I think.

After spending time identifying wheels and tires, it can save you a ton of headaches
in the future if you LABEL THEM with the part numbers.

How are you supposed to LABEL tires from a used lot you haven't identified
yet?

id probably lean to custom lot so it doesn't mess with the price guide if/when
it sells

True, custom it is.

I was thinking of throwing it out but for now I’ll hang onto it until I can be
100% certain
