| Why there's brick that is in super rare color and they doesn't appear
in any set?
I mean,like,colors like neon orange or neon green doesn't appear in any set
according to bricklink,why there still shops that sell bricks with that color?
Also like light pink,according to bricklink,there's only a belville set with
this color part,and it's a cape.But lots of shops sell light pink parts like
tap,slope or bricks.
Are them non-lego or PaB or something?
Thanks,Grossy.

Hi,
There’s multiple possible reasons (by order of probability):
— Identification error.
— Parts from PaB.
— “Q-elements”: bricks made for LEGOLAND or shops.
— Some illegal LEGO elements (made in LEGO factories during ‘night shift’).
Mostly transparent minifigure parts. Those are forbidden here.
— Non-LEGO items. Those are forbidden here. (Note that if the parts have LEGO
logos, it’s very unlikely they are fakes.)
Identification error is by far the most probable.

"Some illegal LEGO elements (made in LEGO factories during ‘night shift’)"
-- I can imagine LEGO workers mixing all the avilable colors together and
create arbitrary parts with it...

Well, they did: just search for images of “Grangemouth test bricks”

New coloured but existing parts from a set that has not been inventoried yet.
