This seems like a poor way to resolve the problem. Personally, I get my stock
from a number of sources, including the 2nd hand market (i.e. bricklink), if
the quality of this fake is as high as you indicate it is entirely possible the
seller was suckered him/herself without knowing it. A "registry" that would be
very detrimental to sellers seems completely out of line if you aren't even
willing to reach out to them that there was a problem. I know I would want someone
to reach out to me and give me a chance to resolve the issue.

If it was a defective/ fake item. Your feedback does not look like your un happy
with the item you bought. Have you contacted the seller? What does he have to
say about this? His other feed back reviews look good.

Thank you for your reply. Was not as careful with the inspection as I should
have been. I was eager to leave feedback due to quick shipping on seller's
part. Was greatful to let my son get started building. It wasn't until close
inspection of the elements after my son had taken a break from building that
I realized something wasn't right.

I have not contacted the seller.

I do not wish to contact the seller. The damage is done. I just want to help
others that care about genuine LEGO.

I would suggest more info on spotting fake sets so that others don't make
the same mistake that I made. Also, if possible, a way to show verification that
you have been sold a fake and a way to report it (that is fair to the seller
as well). Possible weight comparisons of individual elements. Posting pictures
of the absence of bar coded seals. Posting pictures of diferences in genuine
vs. fake elements.

Just some ideas that may help fight the fakes.

Thank you
