Brick Cucumber Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 The "Expected to restart in Early January" has now changed to "Expected to restart in January" for Standard parts. Sucks to be waiting like this Quote
Roebuck Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 It is no longer early January so make sense, however they should start this week, so 50% chance tomorrow or a 100% on Friday Quote
Bugbot20082 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Just had a look at the latest ‘standard’ parts that can be ordered and I’m amazed by some of the parts available (U.K.): piglet, lamb, calf, 2 colours of horse, butterfly, rubber duck, printed gold coin, Moby Brick book cover, Dr Strange’s rubber cape, both Butterbeer colours, the new historic guitar (cheaper to get it in BAM in store though), kittens, printed acorn, squirrels, 2 standing owls, candlestick, hourglass, game controller, and much more Also forks are really cheap I notice Frogs for some reason are in ‘miscellaneous’ rather than animals Quote
Roebuck Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Think they try to increase the number of parts in bestseller so there is less pressure on standard Turns out parts can be added during the hole day, was sure they just did it during the night so may still open today Quote
BacktoBricks Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) I askes customer service a couple of weeks ago if they knew more specifically when it would reopen, and they took some time to check but said their info was still stating early January. Then a week later I asked again when contacting about something else and the person just straight away said it normally reopens in March/April. Their response kind of just felt like an automatic one and they didn't have the time to check so not sure how reliable it was, but it wouldn't surprise me if the expecting date keeps getting pushed back.

RichardGoring Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Had an email back from customer service today about replacing old pieces from old sets (my brittle reddish brown and dark red woes), and they said: Quote It is absolutely considered fair for you to use our replacement parts service for older sets and we do, in fact, try to keep many of the older parts in stock! The real issue is that sometimes we run out of a part and don’t have the exact replacement anymore although we might still have something similar in our current selection. So I shall be ordering tiles and plates for the Fire Brigade and Sea Cow. Started putting a parts list together for an updated Palace Cinema limo, as the standard one is just so poor compared to the modern cars, so hopefully that will push me over the spending thresholds, unless they do suddenly release all the new parts.

That was a 2020 set that was on display in a cabinet, away from direct sunlight, normal temperature and humidity levels in the room. I can't even imagine what older sets with that colour are like. I have an image of them crumbling when touched. I'm glad they are happy to replace for you. I'm typing this whilst waiting for my Harry Potter Horntail Dragon set to be delivered today. The irony that the set is basically all reddish brown is not now lost on me. Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Parts just dropped. Not everything from the castle. But a lot, and some good stuff from the Sanctum @Clone OPatra including Mordo's hair. Quote
eldiano Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Everything I needed from the castle! Shields, torsos and bards FTW 😍😍 thanks for the heads up!! Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Crazy, parts are already disappearing. I got the blue background lion shield (102325) but it's gone now. Didn't see the yellow background (102323). Did anyone one else? And ironically the visors that showed up last week were not available at all. So maybe someone did snatch them up. Also seeing the error again where I search for set 10305 and see nothing new. But the parts show up in a general search with newest parts on top. Quote

I saw the same error, you have to memorize the new parts you need to get them to know, I purchased 5 sets of shields and only see 4 wow, they are selling out fast good thing Lego confirmed my monumentally expensive castle order 😭😭😭😭😭😭 but I’m on the hunt for extra parts like faces that I need know hahaha Quote

Now I'm going back through to see if there's anything I missed! Still waiting for Forestman shields and torsos to show back up. But if they're running out of parts already this is going to be a rough hunt for the next few months for everyone. Quote
AstroFalcon Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 No luck in the UK yet. However, we do now have black falcon upper + lower and shields in bestseller Quote

Dadster Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Got a few bardings, but the blue lion shield disappeared before I could order them... Quote
Maple Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Which is why LEGO needs a 10-25 limit on minifigure parts. This is ridiculous to people like me who just want one of all the shields. But LEGO doesn't care, the people who buy them will go to Bricklink and sell them, LEGO makes more money. Quote
dvt Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 How much were the bardings? 14 minutes ago, Dadster said: Got a few bardings, but the blue lion shield disappeared before I could order them... Quote
eldiano Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 5.57 each, they had the black falcon and lion knights I could only afford 5 of each 😭 Quote
Maple Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) A neat helmet and the other shields disappeared as I was checking out. Anyone bring up that the candy cane is listed? 6295184 Edited January 18, 2023 by Maple Quote
RichardGoring Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Only two torsos and one legs left, but both bardings available. I'll wait, as I'm in no rush for these things and there's not quite enough to make an order. Interestingly, the candy cane from the CMF is up on there (6389611) for $1.66 each! Glad I was able to get a load of them from the BAM tower, where it's only $0.67 each. Quote
eldiano Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Ehhh. So Lego finally fixed the Out of Stock inventory and OMG i guess we were late, they DID put the Castle capes and banners online first since they are completely sold out first. The brick count went from 10,000k to 13k(from out of stock bricks) now, you couldn’t do that this earlier morning. I didn’t realize they dropped a lot of mini heads this morning as well!

Items that go OOS automatically revert to the EU standard warehouse. Thats why OOS wasn't showing up because the EU warehouse was closed. Now that its open again OOS is working. I thought I jumped on the new parts quick but I didn't even see the flags, capes and police dog training parts before they went oos Quote
MAB Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Not much of interest for UK yet. The tiles fro Galaxy Explorer are there, but not enough other parts to justify an order. Quote
Pchan1983 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) $15 NZD for a lion knights cape!? what kind of pricing is that? lol. But the special lens piece from light house only $1.83 NZD ..... Looks like LEGO ran by scalpers Interesting to see Mordo's hair available! Edited January 18, 2023 by Pchan1983 Quote

The good news is that now I can wait for frequent restocks as they arrive and not fret with the unknown of not knowing what would happen with the OOS bricks. I got the majority of what I wanted, seeing the complete OOS I missed out on the queens shield and shield number 24, I can rebuild my Lion Knights fortress again knowing I'll get my incoming army soon!
