Looks like they're doing something, since they've made every non-Bestseller part in the US out of stock. There goes my running cart...

It's down until January according to the banner... probably because of the backlog.

I ordered standard on Nov. 28th, and if I see it before February, and all of what I ordered arrives, I'll be happy.

You guys you just reminded me that I’m missing two orders from late October also with no ETA 😭

Ah, just like the old days. I missed that, thanks.

I'm still waiting for them to add the printed parts from August before I do another order anyway. Odd that they added the non printed new parts, but not the printed ones.

October orders should be shipping within the next week according to a CS replay I saw 

Just sent them a message about my October 9th order.  Will be interesting to see what their response is.  I'm expecting the canned "warehouse upgrade caused delays" excuse despite telling them I'm already aware of that issue.  The delays are bad enough but I've had fellow LUG members who placed orders more that a week after me who have already had their standard parts orders shipped.

I hope my late October bestseller order ships soon...

 

So the message I sent via the contact link regarding my October 9 order delay resulted in me being credited with some Insider points.  They didn't mention the warehouse upgrade but claimed they saw that my best seller parts from the same order were shipped to me from Poland on November 11.  They actually shipped from the US & arrived on October 19 so I have idea what they were looking at.  They went on to tell me that the standard parts went out of stock in early October when I placed the order but came back in stock in early November and since they are handpicked it may take some time for the warehouse to fulfill. 

Wolfpack torso is now a bestseller part in the US. The max quantity is now 999 instead of 20.

I know we're out of the habit of sharing pics of our orders these days, but here are some of my latest. Poor croc's tail was Standard so still waiting in Europe...

Placed a bestseller order around 11pm last night and got the shipping notice before waking up, meanwhile my standards order is still mia since end of October!

I've just had an email about my Bricklink Designer Program Series 3 order, placed a few days before a Bricks & Pieces Standard order, saying that they're working on getting it ready. It won't ship for another three months, but at this stage, I wonder which will arrive first! 

For all of you interested in standard parts delay, at least in Europe, my 14th october order departed this morning.

My brother's standard Oct. 8th order shipped yesterday. At this rate, I'll see my Nov. 28th order in February or later.... oh well, it will makes a nice Valentines Day gift for myself.

Well, now I'm jealous...My Standard Part order from Oct. 3 has still not be shipped.

My October 15th standard part order shipped the other day.  Still nothing on my October 9th order.  A fellow LUG member received their October 9th order yesterday.  The rest of my standard part orders are still showing in warehouse as of today.  Also still "waiting Stock" on my Lighthouse which was supposed to ship by December 12 when I ordered it and they've held up shipping my GWP's & mini Barracuda.  I forgot to add a small something to that order so the GWP's would ship.

My order from October 9 (gorilla arms) shipped yesterday. My order from October 26 (gorilla bodies) remains in the warehouse. I feel like a poacher trading in endangered animal parts

That sounds about right that's why I'm not ordering any alligator parts right now.  

The standard service says check back in January for when it might open. Did any of the sources for the shut down give an actual date for it being reinstated? As in, is it likely to be January?

There are some cool Star Trek Enterprise midi scale models on Rebrickable that I very much want to build, and trying to decide whether to do some Bricklink orders over the holidays, or just wait a little longer for PaB standard to resume.

Each year they say check back in January.  I don't think it ever truly gets back up with actual in stock items until some time in February.

I had a crocagator B&P issue a couple months back when they were left tail-less too  … but that was sorted more quickly

it’s always something, they forgot my alligator tail, I just got my best seller order from last week in, I finally completed my blue forestmen and Viking assortment though.

I’m actually mad this order ran me 70 bucks and it was nothing but animal, head, weapons and a few torsos, imagine my shock when I saw the small bag they arrived in!

This always happens to me. Im expecting this big box of lego and a small envelope turns up 

Nice figs and parts though

My big bestseller order from late October has supposedly landed in Australia although I suspect its still sitting in customs or something (the tracking doesn't indicate its been handed off to the local delivery company yet)

 

PaB has been updated with some new parts, including a few things from the Burrow and the City advent sweaters.

Will they ever add the printed parts from the August 2024 sets though? They added the new non-printed stuff a while back, but not the prints.

They've also weirdly removed that new hat/hair from Dreamzzz and Jaws, besides the one colour that has been on for longer.
