BrickWorld_PL Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Interesting thing: Today, some new parts have been added. One of them is an element from Lego Dots - 6299968 at a reasonable price of about 0.17 USD. The photo of the element presents 16 printed 1x1 round tiles. I think we will not get a set of 16 parts, but one random part. On the other hand, this situation has probably not happened yet. The part number was unique and clearly indicated a specific element. When the photo contained several parts, we got them all. Quote

But first they were out of stock and now they've been removed completely... Same story with the new jet trooper piece 58017 unfortunately. Quote

jonwil Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Based on the reviews I have seen of the polybag in question, it seems like the polybag contains 11 of these printed tiles, each of which is random. I suspect if you buy that element from B&P you will get the same thing (one tile, print being random) Quote

upliftingbricks Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Prices can go down after the order is placed as well as up. Received my order and was about 20 odd pence cheaper. Wouldnt have noticed if it wasnt for this thread. Quote

jonwil Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 It pays to check Bricklink before you buy from Bricks & Pieces and it also pays to check B&P before buying from Bricklink. There are times when parts are a fair bit cheaper on Bricklink than on B&P (for example per my notes from my last order the vet clinic printed glass from last years Corner Garage was cheaper on Bricklink than on B&P, as were the windows/glass from last years Knight Bus) and there are times when parts are cheaper on B&P than on Bricklink (the black magicians hat from the above loot shot is a great example) Quote

It takes a lot of time searching and organizing orders to save some money Quote
Grover Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 You also have to be very aware of shipping costs. I rarely buy from Brick link Europe unless I need a lot of something and it’s significantly cheaper than B&P. Also the diversity of the pieces. More expensive from B&P is offset by four lots to get what you want from BL. Quote

I'm lucky enough to have one of the biggest BL seller in the country near me so I usually don't pay shipping cost. If you divide the total amount (including shipping, PayPal taxes, order fee) by parts purchased, 9/10 results B&P to be cheaper. Quote

And with B&P you can be 100% sure the pieces are new and not used sold as new as sometimes happens on BL Quote

Anonknee Muss Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Literally the only time I use BL is if a part I need is no longer/never available on B&P. I never even check to see if BL is cheaper. Plus you get VIP points on B&P which equates to 5% off but with extra steps in between. Quote
