Maybe, maybe not. I don't think they're doing it in date order, as my November 12 order hasn't shipped yet. It's not showing as anything out of stock 

Edit! Just had an email receipt saying that the torn capes I ordered on Nov 12 have been shipped. Only the capes, and not the rest of the order, as others have reported. Really very curious.

Just talked to Lego customer support 0/10. I used pay in 4 for my November 12th order, finished paying in December. The rep verified that both the capes and the torsos were shipped and were about to clear customs in NJ. Yet they want me to pay an additional 20 bucks on top of my order because they split my order into two somehow in their systems (capes/torsos being sent separately). I have a statement from PayPal literally stating that they already paid off Lego in full back in November, but Lego is saying that payment was denied *now*. Either way, I told them it's their fault for not delivering a product 90 days beyond the date of sale, 30-40 days is passable, but I as a customer paid the company. This is the second time that it happens to be honest and PayPal has told me for Lego to start an inquiry, because I literally paid my entire pick a brick off, this rep wanted me to pay off the balance and wanted me to deal with PayPal, when I already know what they will tell me to do, which is to have Lego start an inquiry!? 

All my problems, aside the lego warehouse sent out both torsos and capes and she saw them stateside this week since both were shipped around the same thing.

Still waiting on the two capes they shipped out separately on January 29 from my November 8 order.  According to USPS they left a partner (most likely DHL) facility in Denver on February 5 but USPS has never received them.   I sent a message to LEGO last night letting them know I never received the package, still waiting for a response from them.   Still waiting on my November 23 order which looks like they have finally shipped today.  No Invoice/receipt received for it yet but showing shipped on the website.  The rest of my November 8 order has supposedly left the Shipping Partner facility in New Jersey according to USPS, hopefully it won't get lost like the two capes did.  Received my November 29 order yesterday.

Why do you keep using Paypal if you know it most likely is going to be a problem? 

[eldiano]

Old habits I guess, Buyers protection mostly. 

[BlueBrickz]

You should attach your debit card to PayPal, then make payment using your debit card via PayPal - that way you get your buyer protection and don’t have the PayPal funding issue

Welp no new parts till June. Guess they expect 3 months to clear the backlog.

Wow. Where did you hear that? I take this to mean that standard parts are not returning until June, rather than just a delay of brand new elements coming to PAB.

New Elementary posted a story about it today.

I think it is a good choice to first settle the backlog they have before adding new parts that would just increase orders again. Also nice to see what they have planned, especially happy about the tags.

I was at the event brick-tastic this Saturday in Manchester, There was some guys from the Pick-a-brick team on the same table as New-Elementary (seems like they are friends/connected), they had some of the upcoming parts on display such as the dumpling and snake hat, it was great to have a chance to speak to them.

They had a showcase on a laptop of the new interface where parts in a variety of colours will be reduced down to one entry where you click on the colour in a small pop up window etc.

i mentioned the problem of scratched windows/windshields etc when bagged with sharp bricks and they are aware of it and suggested everyone keep reporting the issue as the incidents gets logged and the more logs there are the more likely they will address the problem.

Having the snake head really takes away the need to buy the Trotting Lantern set. It's nicely done, but seems so odd to have combined a display object with a minifigure interior that really has no connection to the other sets the series. I had marked it down to buy if it was in heavy discount, but I'll just get some of the pieces now.

My November 12th order has finally arrived at the same time, both torsos and cape. Now I need to figure a way to get the new black split hoods, considering they are not sold on PaB at the moment!

I got the torsos and capes to update my Nazgûl set of 8!

Considering they are not exactly cheap on Bricklink either, the Wolfpack Bandit from the current CMF is probably the best way, if you are lucky enough to find one.

That piece has frustratingly never been sold on PaB in any colour (except maybe the dark blue one from Ninjago, but even then I'm not sure). I really wanted to buy some of the brown and dark brown varieties when they were in sets!

Dark Blue one definitely not been on Europe PaB as been wanting it for my Black Falcon archers. It first appeared in Star Wars so assuming its one of those weird License locked parts even though its not specific to Star Wars. At least that would be case before the merger.

I feel weird about splitting up my beastmasters, I have different faces for them, which is why I kind of want to buy them separately! I have gotten ahold of 6 that I'm keeping for my diversified medieval market

It came first with an Obi Wan set in brown, then black in a few newer sets featuring sith lords, I"ve been on the lookout for ever since but it validifies my notion that it hasn't been available in black and brown on PaB yet!!! For one, I want to update the hoods on a few ollder star wars characters and of course the nazgul for sure.

It makes no sense for it to be tied to a license, there has to be another reason, i've been on the lookout for this piece, but I've been buying full sets to get rid of the old ones, some newer sets still have the older hoods though, it's like black and brown capes all of a sudden.

I wish Lego would explain their process for choosing what pieces go on PAB. The printed bionicle parts, Blacktron torso and licensed Nazgûl torso from GWPs made it but the dragon knight torso from Majisto’s workshop didn’t. They also never added Majisto’s blue skirt or the dark red skirt from medieval town square which makes sourcing them difficult. I also remember seeing the Pagani Utopia driver’s torso available despite it being licensed. They also usually list unprinted parts that normally only appear printed in sets (for example the unprinted windshield from the Ferrari f40) but they haven’t added the unprinted Pearl dark gray breastplate from Barad-dur even though it would certainly be in high demand.

Well you could give some of them the other cape version. Works just as well for them I think.

[RichardGoring]

Arrived back from a trip to find all the pieces I ordered in November had arrived. Hurrah! Nazgul pieces, gorillas, baby gorillas, a boatload of hair pieces in all the colours, and, best of all, the pieces I needed to complete a few things! It will be a satisfying weekend putting them all in place.

I'm hoping it eventually appears. As well as black, I'm also after the browns, the greys and some white. I have three black from wolfpack so just one more will mean I can have half the nazgul with each style.

My Pick-a-Brick Standard order from December 9 finally shipped today.

Useful parts coming in March that might pop up in a few months

Hey folks!  This might sound dumb but do you know what iss elemnet for a certain piece? A  modified 2x2 plate has a curve on one side where the a hole is there.   If you have two identical pieces, you put it togehter, which it forms a “heart”.
