I don't wanna burst your bubble but that is counterfeit. I have seen them
come up a lot in my unsorted lots. They are LEPIN used in their rip off of some
of the Harry Potter sets. If you check I doubt you will find part numbers on
the bottom but they will probably still have a logo but it will likely be rounded
off or smoother. They are likely still printing them from stolen molds that
were supposed to have been destroyed. Another give away is the color mixing of
Bley and Tan which was common of their HP knock offs. I find this a lot in lots
of bulk parts I buy on auctions. Another common version has Red and Dark-Red
marbling also usually with worn logos but no part numbers.

Oh well worth the shot though. Thanks for helping.

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

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.

Would I just send them a email with pictures of the part asking if it genuine
love or not?

its generally agreed that no knockoff has lego logos. if it has the logo its
most likely real. unless there was a very recent development that I'm unaware
of?

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.

Never seen anything with Lego logo that was fake, please post links or photo’s.

In my opinion this part is genuine, it happens from time to time.

Hi and thanks.

However I was referring to these discussions elsewhere regarding Lepin.

I believe there was an extensive discussion regarding fake logo bricks on here
where the outcome was that Lego confirmed they were real and not faked Logo bricks.

Lepin may not have been mentioned at the time but clone bricks with Lego logo
were questioned and if I remember correctly someone made an effort to discredit
the so called evidence by asking Lego themselves to examine them.

I may have this confused with another discussion but I don’t think so, someone
please correct me if I’m wrong.

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 have created a lot for this part in my stock room and was wondering what I
should list it as. I was thinking $5 but I have only done a little research on
it.
