Nice that they clarified that.  Thanks for the info.  Saves me from buying one of each just to be sure I get all of them.  It definitely wasn't worded that way originally.

To bad they haven't bothered to update the others that are actually multipacks.  Lion Knight Castle Flags & Cape & the Black & Brown basic capes.  Not sure which of the Black/Brown is the multipack but I know when I ordered a bunch of those there were 2 black & 1 brown in the pack, probably the more expensive one.  The white one was just the 1 piece as were the green ones.  I just noticed the collar one is listed like this: COLLAR, 18X31,5 so I wonder if there are actually 5 pieces.
 

I don't think the 5 means 5 pieces. There are 2 COLLAR, 18X31,5 listed. The cheaper one (6284425) comes with 2 pieces being Lando's cape and collar from 75257 Millennium Falcon and though listed as Black on PaB its black on one side and blue on the other

Does anyone have experience with the available Monkie Kid capes 60463 and 84433 - what sets they come from so what other fabric elements they include?

Both come in the Heavenly Realms set, which also has a fabric skirt, but both come in other sets as well.

I have a dumb question, messing around with pick a brick and digging deep, I wanted to ask how shiny or metallic do the Gold/Silver ink bricks are? From my understanding the silver/gold metallic colors are flat but do the "ink" versions make them shiny? Thanks.

Woah!! Lego changed all of its renders on Pick a Brick:)

 

[Megbricks]

Way more color accurate!

[jodawill]

I haven't gotten the update yet. It also keeps kicking me out after loading the page once. I just remembered they also had some maintenance time for the rewards section the other night. I wonder if there's anything new there.

[MKJoshA]

Oh wow, that looks way worse to me. So hard to tell what a piece's true colors are with these weird renders. It was a render before, now it looks like a grainy version that has bad white balance.

[jodawill]

It shouldn't matter too much as long as I can find the parts I'm looking for, but I agree. It's too shiny. It looks really strange. But that vibrant yellow actually does look accurate in that picture, so maybe it will be easier to differentiate the colors. I'll have to wait until I get the update to see for myself.

That might mean dimensions of 18x31.5

I guess its a preference. Here is the after and before (which is still available if you select the static setting) for vibrant yellow

 

Actually the colors are similar. The “shadow” on the top made the difference

Nothing on the US website, but I guess it would help with the Gold Ink and Gold metallic debacle 

PS I guess the website is still updating the cache because when I’m trying to browse a lot of pictures are blanked out and a a small majority are pre-rendered hehehe

So glad I placed my order last night.  When I try to do my usual sort it totally freezes up on me when I try to sort newest parts first.  Hope they get it sorted soon because the part count seems to have gone up by a few from what was there last night but I can't see them.  Tried to get in in incognito mode & it froze up again.  My normal bookmarks are now giving me an access denied error.

The silver ink ones are the drum lacqured pieces and so much shinier than normal (but not as shiny as chrome pieces). If it helps, they're often quite a bit more expensive than the part in any other colour, so you can check the price if the naming is confusing as you're scanning through things.

You had no idea how I feel right now! I also placed an order around 3am and the site was running fine, I was on it this evening again to order a few bricks that snuck under my radar but it was glitching out like you said! I know some of the parts I was missing were under the bestsellers so I thought it was my browser giving me an error whenever I realized that they were updating the renders, some of them are there but the old ones are still present!!! I can wait hopefully is not too long after this tbh.

Thank you so much, I'm curious to know why Lego switched to flat silver on knights' helmets and flat gold on regular sets whenever the PaB is selling their metallic versions. I didn't know about this and was confused until I pulled out an old invoice from 2021 that had the same part number I was looking for, that offered the shiny helmets. Last year all I was getting from Lego was just flat silver helmets, something I dislike. So, to be honest the fact that they offer the metallic parts, but we got the flat colors kind of bothers. I have no problem buying them to catch up but I'm still trying to process all this. 
Now my knights can look uniform with the others with the shiny silver helmets and the pirates can plunder metallic gold ingots now!! 

Part of my confusion came from whenever I pulled up the pieces that are sold through the same set number, I just thought it was easier to get them that way, now I know that typing silver ink and gold ink under PaB lists up the classifications of said items! Thank you soooo much for explaining this.

After giving it a few days I still think the changes are for the worse. The renders are grainy, smaller, and less defined. 

Look at this before

And now after

Everything looks worse!

And you call this orange?

It looks so neon!

Even if I was very happy with the change initially, I have to agree with you. 

[MKJoshA]

It's a matter of degrees. If you look at my first photo you can see that the shadow is too intense. It obscures the actual tan color of the dish. But in the new photo it looks like an over-enlarged desktop icon from Windows 95. The dish doesn't look remotely tan in the new render.

Lego could certainly improve on their renders, but they took it too far.

I'm still not seeing the new images. Maybe they're testing it in certain regions. With the old images, a lot of the parts don't have an image at all. Could it be that they're testing an automated system to generate images for the parts? If so, that would be a huge plus because sometimes it's hard to figure out what a part is.

Could try restart you browser or try a different one, I have only skim read the info about it, but seems like that was suggested as a solution..

Blacktron torso is available on hungarian B&P site, maybe on all the europien sites.

Bunch of parts back in stock including the new fern piece (6411022) and the rounded headlight brick piece from Speed Champions (6424674)

Very odd about that helmet. Every other colour they have made of it has been available, even the orange one before they put it in a set. Why would they suddenly not list the purple one?

Same with the black shaggy bowl cut from the same set - they've listed the other colours so far, but not that one.

They come in a new Halloween vip bag, so should be easier to get a few then at least
