General Part Discussion

You are pretty close! 

You can get two or three more with this query on bricklink: bricklink

Thanks! Good to see you can do searches like that. I think I'll keep my list as-is, though, because it looks like of those parts, the only ones I didn't include haven't really been used in Technic sets, and would fall outside of my fairly subjective boundary line.

[vascolp]

I agree with you...

Maybe only a reference to the shock absorber with tight coils?

Yeah, that's something to think about. I tend to see that as equivalent to a remold, though, so maybe I'll just make a point of mentioning it in the set profiles.

I’m sure this won’t surprise anyone, but after trying to order some new parts from the Ferrari Daytona they still say they cannot sell them. The whole “3 month” excuse they kept up for the entirety of 2022 is as expected: nonsense.

The January parts have appeared again on PaB...

@Jeroen Ottens which parts, specifically?

I've been looking for:

LEGO Frame 3 x 19 (67491)

LEGO Gear Wheel Z12 (69778)

LEGO Gear Wheel Z20 (69779)

Maybe it's an option in Europe and not in US?

Not available, at least where I live. I could use some of those too...

78442 (AT-AT gear rack) is available though.

Those are from sets released in March, specifically the 42140 and 42141. Noteworthy parts that are now available include the 2x5 elliptical liftarm “panel extender”, shock absorbers, wheel hubs and tires from 42130 BMW bike, friction 1/2 pin and the panel 5x7 parallelogram left and right.

So unfortunately no 3x19 frame or non beveled 12 and 20 tooth gears…

So maybe it's 9 months instead of three?

I use Brickset to list the new parts. There they also indicate whether parts are available on PaB as well:

https://brickset.com/parts/platform-Technic/year-2022

The list isn't 100% accurate in that respect though, I found the small red helicopter blade on PaB, while Brickset lists it as March release that is not available yet.

I brought a 2nd copy of Lamborghini last week, and noticed a new level of color inconsistency lol.

The pistons in the engines have slightly different shades of yellow. Some of them have orange-ish yellow, closer to the shade in 42099. Some has the regular yellow. I forgot to take the photos.

It's not new. The pistons have been inconsistently colored for decades. 

[howitzer]

Fortunately, that's one colour inconsistency that doesn't matter at all.

I would expect to have no colour deviations at all. Doesn't matter if visible or not. This is just poor quality 

[howitzer]

The hoop originally from Friends sets is now available in DBG:

[astyanax]

Technic parts from the March 2022 wave appear to be available on PaB.

[LvdH]

None of the new orange (well, new in March) parts from the McLaren are available and neither is the 3x19 frame. Which parts specifically do you mean?

The 3x19 frame is available, and so are the 12 and 20 tooth spur gears. And new panels from the McLaren. Perhaps mileage varies per country...

This appears to be true, as neither are available to order for me.

Yeah, me neither, looking on the US site.

[howitzer]

No 3x19 frames or new gears available here either.

[keymaker]

No new parts for Poland also...

[suffocation]

Available parts for Italy are actually fewer than last week. And my PaB order from early August has vanished into thin air.

[astyanax]

Sorry to hear that guys! My PaB order with March wave parts has just been confirmed.

[shroomzofdoom]

If they don't appear on the website. I strongly recommend calling them to place an order. I did this a month or two back and was able to place a phone order for the new blue gears and 3x19 frames.
