I've had a collection of Lego bricks made from a marvelled silver plastic since the mid 2000's. I got them form Lego land Winsor when they where selling off a lot of there old defunct sets when I found them in a bucket of generic Lego in the tent they set up to sell everything.

I have never found a single set that contains them and I have struggled to find images of them, I have in my position 2 2x2, 20 2x4, 12 2x10. The only place I know that they where used is in the model making studio to build a large model of a Boing 747 or so in Lego land Winsor which I believe they may have been exclusivity made for.

while I have been struggling to find info on them as is, trying to find a place to sell them has been a massive hassle as I am unsure where I can go to do it properly because if my assumption is correct, that they are rare enough to be worth some thing I need to take them to a place with buyers that have the money. I know that one of the solid gold Boba fets sold for 15000 but I don’t know where and I feel that Ebay/Brick link will not give that kind of money.

Any advice on what I should do and if my Lego is truly rare will be greatly appreciated.

It is not clear what colour they are, but from the mould flow marks, they look like either what bricklink calls flat silver or pearl light gray. If so, they are worth a few euros each. Those are not particularly rare as many people were able to buy them. They are no comparison to solid gold Boba Fett figures.

Presumably the same place you got them. Loads were made and not used, and sold off.

I doubt even they know. They used to make large numbers of parts for the build teams so that they didn't run out and the parts that didn't get used were sold off. There have been lots of parts in colours that never appeared in sets discovered this way.

This colour is pearl light grey (check the comments on the flickr post the link takes you too for more information about these specific bricks), these bricks are q-parts (parts used by legolands/model shops that never appeared in sets). I suggest selling them straight on bricklink where these pieces are already being sold.
