But a future strategy for something like that might be to order both anyway, no matter what they say. Either you get double the amount or you get one of each. So a win-win situation IKR? but I try to assume people know what they’re talking about every so often ;) Quote
Darth Shadowthrone Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Man I'm so doing one of these orders as soon as the elephants are back in stock! Getting extra pieces to expand the Basilisk is a great idea too! (Tho I'm sure those pieces have other uses too) Does anyone know if any dinosaur parts are ever available, or dragon wings? I assume the printed parts are never available but maybe some arms / legs are? Quote

Clone OPatra Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Plus now that they've added sorting by colour, if you know roughly what the cool new stuff is based on set photos, it doesn't take very long to go through and find it on B&P. Personally I'm waiting to make my next order until 43197 The Ice Castle is available, mainly just because I want that hourglass with a normal sand colour inside! The previous hourglass was listed at around 70 cents US. Not bad. Quote

Lion King Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Pretty odd that my orders haven’t arrived at my home yet. I placed some orders for 2 monkeys, 2 lion cubs, normal-colored maned lion, crocodile, and other bricks. I placed some orders on June 1st, 3rd and 15th. I’m in USA so it may take time then? Quote

My order with the monkeys and cubs was placed June 1. I placed an order for lion adults and sheep June 3. I have the second order, but not yet the first. I think it depends on what gets hung up in customs. Quote

Haha, i could imagine that monkeys wrecking havoc at customer service office, just like the ones causing chaos in the kitchen from the original Jumnaji movie. I guess we will wait for flying monkeys to join Wicked Witch. Quote
eldiano Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 yeah something's up with customs, i have like 6 orders pending and have not seen any movement since last week. Everything is taking forever. Quote
MKJoshA Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Was able to order the letters today. Along with the orange leaves, butterbeer cups, and a few other pieces I've been waiting to go back in stock. Still waiting for my animals to ship. I was told they were on backorder, but I forgot to ask when their in-stock date was. Quote

So it seems that the missing heads and bodies are wholly attributable to only ordering with one of those IDs and thinking it would be both. Other AFOLs I know also received complete elephants when they ordered both IDs regardless of the country. The picture below shows only part of my order, since I've got multiples of some animals but didn't include them. I did get no gifts or things I didn't order. Only received the precise amount of pieces I ordered (which is also nice) What set is the green torso and dress from, and the legs on the bottom far right corner of the picture? Looks like parts I can use for castle. Quote

I assumed we couldn't purchase licensed minifigure parts but I'm very happy to be wrong. HP gets a lot of useful minifigures for "fancy" castle characters. Honestly not sure, I like to buy any parts I can that look to be workable for my castle collection. I'll probably scroll through the couple hundred results on Bricklink under "dark red torso" to see if anything pops out at me as a good fit. 17 hours ago, Clone OPatra said: Legs are: MINI LOWER PART, NO. 2057 Element 6342502 Design Number 76864 From the Monkie Kid Mountain set.

Flak Maniak Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 My order with Ninjago SCUBA parts showed up. Everything all fine. I hadn't realized the rubbery air tanks would be black; I'd assumed they were pearl dark gray. Either is fine with me, though! Now, gotta build some modern Aquazone-style submarines to go with! Unrelated, but looking at the new Bowser's airship, looks like boat hulls in... Medium nougat, is that? Hopefully those make their way onto B&P! Quote
eldiano Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Anyone have issues with B&P shipping delays? Now it’s been a month and haven’t seen or heard from at least 2-3 orders at all, they were on a roll at the beginning of the June but the second half has been dragging like crazy, I am missing at least 3 sets, 2 of which just hit the 1 month time line and nothing.

CallMeCarbiz Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Has anyone else had/have an order stuck with the status of "EN ROUTE TO DHL ECOMMERCE DISTRIBUTION CENTER" My order from June 10th has been En Route since the 17th. I ordered parts from Bricks & Pieces and Pick a Brick. Pick a Brick shipped 2021-06-15 Bricks & Pieces shipped 2021-06-22 Quote

WOOOOO never fails to get sent ANOTHER order whenever I use Apple Pay for the original payment lolol @eldiano, you never answered @CaptainSerMig 's question about a clarification on the Apple Pay thing you mentioned 3 pages ago. What did you mean with that? Regarding the shipping issues. I had no shipping delays. in fact my last 2 orders arrived much faster than expected. I was also surprised to see the order status change to shipped after only 7 days but it was in fact really shipped and arrived 3 days later Edited June 24, 2021 by Metanoios Quote

I was also surprised to see the order status change to shipped after only 7 days but it was in fact really shipped and arrived 3 days later Oh the Apple thing is something I realized by accident. I alternate between Paypal and Apple Pay but I did notice a pattern whenever I got 3 emails on 3 different orders about how I needed an alternate method of payment for the 3 B&P's orders using Apple Pay, then not even kidding a day or two I received those orders by mail, so what ended up happening was that I paid for the order once but I got 2 orders of the same thing, because then once the payment went through it creates another order number in their system duplicating the first order. This never happened with my paypal orders at all but on the third time I talked to the Lego service rep and they told me that Apple Pay's Authorization expires by the time the B&P ship from the Lego Warehouse. It wasn't cheating the system but I was surprised when I kept receiving a couple of duplicate orders, granted it wasn't that many bricks but still and this was a couple of months ago. As of June now I can see that Lego finally managed to do something about this by literally marking the items as shipped within 1-2 business days and still have them take 10-15 business days to get to you. I have an order from Pick a Brick that just reached 30 days of not getting here and the Lego rep told me they are having problems with Customs at the time, I am still missing 4 orders from late May and early June, the agent re assured me it will be here in 2 days but I don't think that will happen.
