karrit Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 I saw one of the torsos (queen/princess) available but didn’t get an order put together before it went out of stock. I can't remember if any of the legs were still available when I first looked. Hopefully a restock will happen soon. Quote

So it depends whether the 4 x minifigures and all other Lego is worth a fiver to you I suppose. The figures are selling for £1 on BL, which is great if you want to stock up on lime legs (The male farmer does actually have a useful head and hair piece). What store it that? I have only seen it for £32 at smythToys, not a bad deal but I have no interest in the 4+ build tractor etc it’s not a bad price to get all the animals though, plus some vegetables and a winch etc but I already got lots of sheep so don’t need the extra Quote

Seemed like an odd time for those to pop back into stock Also just today notice that the lions no longer show up at all (from retiring or retired WIldlife Rescue sets). Which is understandable. Hope everyone got what they needed from those. I'm in the US and managed to get the regular and queen lion knight torso and legs as well as the kettle hat. But I may have been one of the first on the site ordering. They just sold out super fast. Quote

Torsos and legs were available for a good two days, what sold out fast were the shields which luckily they restocked some the next day and Saturday! Check it every morning now I guess, it used to be at night but last release caught us all by surprise that when everyone got wind of it, it was already late Quote
jonwil Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I wish they would hurry up and make all the currently US only parts available to everyone (in particular the dark green pine tree) Quote

Only 42% of houses have basements in the USA. Also have basements to stick overpriced LEGO in? Also check your orders. I placed an order the other day was exactly $35, free shipping, total with tax was $37.19. I was charged $39.04. The email is useless as it's from an order from December and says my total is $57.99 and the website says my total is $44.14 because they tried charging me shipping. So yeah LEGO somehow made up three numbers and none are correct. Edited January 24, 2023 by Maple Quote

Funny you mention this, my biggest problem is getting rid of Lego, I have so much but after seeing current selling prices of some sets, 50% of my sets must go!!! Including mini figures 🤣🤣 With more bricks added this morning looks like we didn’t miss out on much! Quote

I do love the fact the store is simply named B&M. The UK doesn't have Wal-Mart, but you could consider this close to it (without the fresh food groceries) although on a much smaller scale. But it's where you'll get remainder shipments, perhaps like Costco, so pricing can be aggressive. Quote The bargain finds and so much more in B&M stores might convince you the store is called Bargains and More but it's even simpler. Set up by Malcom Billington in 1978, it stood for Billington & Mayman. However, it was shortened to B&M for Bargain Madness. Billington remained as the company director until 1996. What UK's biggest shop names actually mean from ASDA, B&M, H&M and ASOS to TK Maxx and JD Sports - MyLondon The yellow lion knight's shield and most of the table football heads are back in stock. Curious that they're adding things incrementally, rather than a large restock. Quote

Costco might every once and awhile but the farm is $70, yet 50 Euro, the Stunts sets are $35 and 20 Euro. So even at half off that's still $35 and $17.50 and they rarely go that cheap anymore. It's why 90% of my non Bricks and Pieces orders are on eBay. They had the big double ramp Stunts pack that's $150-$160 for $75. 39 minutes ago, eldiano said: Funny you mention this, my biggest problem is getting rid of Lego, I have so much but after seeing current selling prices of some sets, 50% of my sets must go!!!

I'm trying to go through it and sell some because I have 12...ish 18 gallon containers full of LEGO and she is getting annoyed because they are in the way of her hoarding. Two of them I haven't even opened since January 2016 at the latest. Edited January 24, 2023 by Maple Quote

Walmart does, end of season sales will price drop sets for half the value, I bought the lunar station for 59.99 early January. Star Wars sets usually drop 30% less, each store has their own discounts but you have to check their clearance aisles or look for those yellow stickers when they want to get rid of shelf space Quote

That's also only 25% off an already inflated price. But that's not the point of this thread. Quote

Clone OPatra Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Four new pieces have been added to both the NA and rest of world PaB sites, but all the NA stuff is still NA only. Weird. I'm waiting for more to be added anyway, like the hairpieces from the Foosball Table and maybe even more January stuff if that gets added in March or so, so hopefully NA only stuff will be released to the rest of the world by then.

Mama_Joe_ Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Are the purple helmets from 80111 likely to be available eventually? Quote

Yes! I noticed the same. It appears you know already but just in case or if anyone else is wondering the four new items I noticed in the US are... roof tile 2x3/25 INV Wall Cone 5x10x6 Hinge Plate 1x2, No. 2 Turkey Drumstick (dark orange) Someone earlier mentioned that it seems that restocks of items are sporadic and different items at different times rather than larger restocks of all or most items at same time. I've noticed the same. Its very odd. A random FEW that I've noticed going in and out of stock while scrolling through and searching are.. Galaxy Explorer printed tiles Plant w/plate 1x1 no. 1 (earth green) although I refer to it as dark green Dark Blue baseplate (I think from the Lighthouse) mini head, no. 3809 Flat tile 2x4 no. 281 (classic space logo) So obviously restocks of some new items are occurring but others like the barding from castle remain "out of stock" and I've been refreshing and checking LOTS throughout the day. I did see them in stock last week when the parts were first added. Possibly some items haven't been restocked at all? OR they are so desirable that they are selling out almost instantly and we are just missing the restocks? I'm not sure. Good luck everyone and thanks for the responses 24 minutes ago, Mama_Joe_ said: Are the purple helmets from 80111 likely to be available eventually? Other minifigure parts from many past Lunar New Year sets were made available in the past. SO... they SHOULD but only time will tell. I definitely hope so. Edited January 25, 2023 by teamzissou Quote

All of the other colours of that helmet and airtanks have been available (even the orange airtanks exclusive to the book afaik), so they definitely should be. Quote

Yes, but likely to yo-yo in and out of stock when they appear as people buy up 100s for both armies and resale. I would not pay current bricklink prices for a part like that.

Happy_Lego_Guy Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Several of the new parts that were added were restocked again in NA. sheilds, castle torsos, heads, German shepherd puppies, etc. Quote

I missed the torso and grey crash helmets but got some things I needed. There was a limit of 35 on Lion Knight legs. Quote
