linnormlord Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I'm pretty new to this thread, so I apologize if this has been discussed at length before. If anyone is familiar with the lists at http://bnp.jonaskramm.com/ (warning, this goes to a Google Drive folder with a few spreadsheets) how comprehensive is it? I am thinking about putting together an order of some interestd B&P parts, but searching through the service is exhausting. As a second question, I did some comparison shopping between Bricklink and B&P pricing for the same parts. I was looking at a lot of minifigure parts, which were usually more expensive at B&P than at Bricklink, but some were excellent deals, especially because you can get free shipping through Lego S@H. My question is how do you do you comparison shopping for prices? Thanks in advance! Quote

My question is how do you do you comparison shopping for prices? Thanks in advance! It is not comprehensive at all. That is why it is called "Highlights". It is a tiny fraction of the parts available through B+P. It is also likely to be out of date, as although things tend to get added in batches, things disappear from stock daily. To compare stock, you have to do it part by part. Once you know that most torsos cost roughly the same amount at B+P, you can make approximations but need to be aware of dual molded arms or specialised hands and so on that will change the basic price. For non-minifigure parts, it is much harder to compare. You either get a feel for prices across parts you are interested in, or take ages doing the comparisons. Quote

I should clarify when I said "comprehensive" I meant "in covering interesting to this thread pieces" and of course not all pieces. Quote

Even then, not really, as people are interested in quite different things being available. Plus many of the interesting parts are not strictly licensed but the more general thread on B+P died while this one thrived so this has been the goto thread for all parts not just licensed. It would be good if he / users can keep it up to date with new parts added though, as that is what is really needed. Trawling through all the old parts is one of the most annoying things about buying at bricks and pieces. Knowing what had been added would be really beneficial. Quote
koalayummies Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I called B&P and they said no one is going to get their orders unless Megbricks takes a few days off of placing orders. They said they can't even see the emergency exit door because its blocked by Megbricks' pending shipments. Three of their forklifts broke down from hauling Megbricks' orders. At this point they're considering changing the name to MegBricks and Pieces. Give 'em a break! Quote

My question is how do you do you comparison shopping for prices? Thanks in advance! What I do is have my bricks loading into a Bricklink wishlist. Then I note the prices on B&P and put that in as my "Max Price" on Bricklink. That way, I can do a quick check and see just how available a part is above or below the B&P price point to decide which marketplace I'm buying at. Quote

I am thinking about putting together an order of some interestd B&P parts, but searching through the service is exhausting. It only includes parts from the current season. I made a list that covers parts available from 2017, 2018 and 2019, but note that it excludes interesting parts that I already purchased: https://puu.sh/CCfRF/e6bc3397bd.pdf. 15 hours ago, koalayummies said: I called B&P and they said no one is going to get their orders unless Megbricks takes a few days off of placing orders.

Why on earth would Lego only have these for New-Zealand? Quote
BaristaBricks Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 BOWLS from 80101 are available!!!
