jonwil Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Yeah the single arrow is for sale, the double arrow isn't. Quote

Some notable ones are the pipe pieces, most of the stickered pieces, most of the new wing, shell, leg & arm pieces and some printed sign pieces. Given how protective of their IP's Nintendo usually is, it's really surprising to see really any of the new pieces on there. With only the starter set and five figure bags there is definitely need for more environment, so i am glad these are for sale at bnp. To bad that most printed pieces are not. Otherwise i would armybuild me some bad guys :-) Quote
jonwil Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Just a friendly reminder to check if the cost of certain parts on B&P is actually any good or if there are better options. The 1/4 circle tile with rainbow print from the Dots line would cost me $2 each on Bricks & Pieces right now here in Australia. I can buy the entire Rainbow Bracelet set for $8 from a local retailer and get 5 of the tile in question plus all the other parts. Buying that tile on B&P would therefore be a stupid idea. Conversely the trans-blue water slide parts (straight and curved) would cost about 2x as much to buy on BL as they would on B&P and on B&P I can buy 50 each of the curved and straight if I wanted to.

jonwil Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Finally got my order placed. Some of the interesting parts: "Moby Brick" book from the Bookshop (the cover and the back) Dark azure bird from the Bookshop Some of the new Opal and Glitter parts including the strange glass pieces from the Mickey & Minnie set film strips The new-for-2020 motorbike with the titanium metallic frame The stingray and glow-in-the-dark fish Some of those Creator space rover torsos (and the hidden side legs everyone seems to think go well with that torso) Assorted figure parts from the new Divers sets (including that neat diving helmet) Hidden side figure parts (including a bunch of the parts for that cool cop figure in the jail set) That cute little girl from the Fairground Accessory Pack (the one with the 4 minifigs in the packaging shaped like a minifig) along with the teddy bear from that same set Assorted hairpieces A few neat new parts like the 1 x 2 x 1 round panels and the 3x3 round corner plates with cutout 1x1 round plates in all the colors I dont own that were in stock Assorted neat prints like the arrow from the Mario sets (single arrow only, the double arrow one was not for sale), airplane ticket lci-hlc, 1x2 tile US flag, hidden side phones and the new radar screen slope from the divers sets. Black barrel (way cheaper on B&P than on Bricklink) 1x4x2 fence in titanium metallic (although given that I paid just under $20 for 20 of these, I am beginning to wish I hadn't ordered them :) Titanium Metallic cattle skull from that one Monkie Kid set Torso and hat from the Crocodile Train engineer Metallic gold bars (also way cheaper than Bricklink) Candle flame in trans-light-blue Tan boomerang Red pitchfork Red whip Silver fez Lime green scarf Was going to order some of the water slide parts but given their cost (at least for the number I would need to order to actually do anything useful with them) I decided against it since I have no MOC in mind to use them in (and they aren't likely to be discontinued anytime soon given the set they are in has only just come out) Same with Mario warp pipe, that's quite expensive (once you add the other parts needed to get best use of it) and I dont have a plan for it. A few parts that I was interested in were out of stock (parts I expected to be available based on what they are and on other people's orders and loot shots): The Hammerhead Shark (I will buy the little submarine to get one of those I think) 1x1 round tiles in sand blue and dark orange That printed tavern flag from the pirate set Teal minifig legs The big Great White Shark from that one divers set (although after some further thought I am not sure I would have a use for it anyway) The fire helmet/hair combo from that ripcord fire helicopter The 2 x 6 tile (fairly basic piece that I would have thought would be up for sale) Black sausage Cloud plate in green (although that may be somehow special to Mario and therefore not for sale for that reason) Pink pig (although I think again its licensed somehow) Also threw in a TLM2 CMF just to get free shipping as it was cheap :) Lets hope I get the parts I ordered (and none go on back-order or otherwise don't arrive) and lets hope none of the prices go up compared to what I expected to pay (is that still a thing and when do the prices usually go up if they are going to?) Loot shot will probably go up when they get here :) Quote

Fenghuang0296 Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Question. Do we know if LEGO not selling licensed parts is LEGO’s own policy, or a policy it adopts for the sake of its partners? Because I can definitely see Nintendo going, “Oh, yeah we don’t care about forcing people to buy entire sets just for a couple of pieces, feel free to sell Mario parts on Bricks and Pieces,” where Disney goes, “MUHUWAHAHA MONEY MONEY!” Quote
jonwil Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 It wouldn't surprise me if the Mario parts that are currently for sale (the shells, pipe, bar-code parts etc) are in fact not meant to be for sale and will get pulled at some point. Quote

I imagine they want to keep it ambiguous as to which companies favours no licensed parts to be sold individually and whether or not this is specifically written into contracts with the partner companies. That way, they can always say that "we cannot sell licensed parts" without making it clear whether this is their decision or enforced by contract. Quote

RowiaBuilds Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Part 6294545(metallic gold banana) is back in stock, just a heads up! Quote
RogueTwo Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 I ordered minifigure parts from Ginny Weasley (75980) and Lavender Brown (75969) three weeks ago, but they are still showing "in warehouse." Is that normal, given the current situation? Or should I be worried that they will cancel my order because I managed to get some licensed minifigure parts that slipped through the cracks? Quote

I would say its normal. I placed an order on July 8th and it just shipped on the 3rd. However I think it depends on how big the order is. Mine was in the hundreds so I expected it to take a while, so im not sure if it has to to with amount of parts or just amount of orders Quote
Flak Maniak Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 My order from 10 July still says in warehouse; I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think they're just slow these days. My order from June 20 got here... I forget when, sometime in late July. I mean I'm fine with slow service/shipping in general, but I'll cut them even more slack when their workforce is significantly disrupted. Quote
RogueTwo Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks folks! Yeah, I have no problem waiting as long as they arrive eventually. Quote
lego_guyon02 Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 If you go to B&P you even get an alert that any order you place will take longer than usual because of a high amount of incoming orders so that was to be expected. My order from July 3rd didn't ship untill the 29th Quote

Don't worry about the warehouse part of it. Once it's shipped is when you need to start keeping track. I had an order that shipped May 27th and it still hasn't arrived. That one is lost. I have some others that are still in warehouse, no big deal. Quote
pb77 Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 My second order arrived, after over a month of waiting! Mostly a few Stranger Things parts. I had hoped the air tanks would be a closer match, it will do for now! Quote
