delete parts like that from sale.

I just checked ... no inventory yet.

escaped the factory.


"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
long time ago.

I agree with novabrick and rylie_aitch; those parts are "Brittle Blue."

Hi team I'd like to make a suggestion. For those who are using Android/Chromebook
and Ipad, it would be great to have a version of Stud IO/Part designer that would
work on those devices unless it's already the case and I don't know it.

  So yeah, how does it operate

So much misinformation, but I will try to correct it all.

First, zero tax dollars are used for the USPS and has been the case since 1971.

Second, the pension issue was that, in 2006, Congress required the USPS to PRE-FUND
the pension plan which no other government agency or private company has ever
done. The PSRA removed that completely ridiculous requirement and I would imagine
that the pre-funding that was done 2006-2012 covers their current pension liability.

Third, the USPS was a pretty good place to work and has provided excellent services
to U.S. citizens and residents for almost 250 years until the robber baron was
appointed to fulfill someone's personal vendetta against the USPS/Amazon
relationship.



Thank you for correcting the misinformation.

USPS delivers 128.8 Billion pieces of mail a year. 7.2 Billion of those are packages.
It's an amazing organization. Their employees bust their rear ends to get
the job done and deserve high praise for working in brutal conditions for diminishing
returns and harsh criticism.

These were originally just blue.
Blue parts that change to a somewhat greenish blue tend to be really brittle
and easily snap when slightly flexing them. That is at least an observation I
made several times.

  Hi everyone,

I bought a bulk of unsorted bricks, but I need help to identify the color of
two parts that seems that aren't molded in any existing color: in my photo
are the 2x6 plate (3795) and the inverted slope (52501).

The tile at left is in blue, the wedge at right is in dark blue

Thanks in advantage

I don't think they are discolored or yellowed because also the underside
and the sides are in the same color and they are solid as they are new.

I noticed that the slope has a damage on the back like someone has been "sliced"
it and inside the color it's the same

yep, it’s “brittle blue”, made sometime between 2005 and 2010. These aren’t yellowed
in the normal way; there’s something about the chemical composition of that era
of bricks that causes them to darken and become brittle (which is why the corner
of your slope shattered). It would have looked like normal Bright Blue originally.

I wouldn't relist that part without permission, and I doubt you'll get
permission to sell a part like that on a site owned by TLG.

You should easily be able to sell it elsewhere though.

I bought the part from bricklink my self in 2014.

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?

  By the grace of the US taxpayer, in large part

The US Postal Service has been running a deficit for a long time now. For the
last decade and a half USPS revenues have not covered their expenses, culminating
in a shortfall of 6.5 Billion for the fiscal year 2023. That's if you view
2022 so called windfall with anything more than a passing glance... That anomaly
was created by the PSRA becoming law, which removed a whopping $57 billion in
owed revenue to their retires' health benefit fund, from the ledger Which
hadn't been paid into since 2012, btw.

So yeah, how does it operate

So much misinformation, but I will try to correct it all.

All of this correct information can be found on legitimate news sites which don't
pander to a specific political ideology.

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.


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
for almost 20 years. There have been lots of legitimate ways over the course
of LEGO history to obtain many rare and unique items.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14999163358

Yes from individual LEGOLAND centres (I also mentioned them earlier) but not
from regular PAB walls.
