Bizarrely you also use to earn them before the change too - if you bought during double VIP promotions. I don't think double points was actually doubling the points, but adding on £5 / $5 worth of points for every £100 / $100 spent. For normal orders, this of course doubles the points, whereas for B+P orders, it gave points when double should have still been zero. Quote
Anonknee Muss Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) You could definitely earn points like normal on B&P orders before the change. It hinkt you could earn points from 2017, maybe 2018 onwards. Edited March 6, 2020 by Anonknee Muss Quote
MAB Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Yes you are right, there were two changes. I missed the point that the last one was about the VIP scheme changes. I cannot remember the exact date that they started giving VIP points on B+P. When they changed the VIP system they removed the old VIP points history from our accounts and the points are nto recorded in old order emails or the online records. Quote
jonwil Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Just a heads up for anyone interested, everything rare or hard to get from that promotional steam engine is available on Bricks & Pieces except the torso and the sticker sheet. Quote

Frike Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 I was very intrigued by the fact that you could pick up white and brown horses from Bricks & Pieces. While I have two of the white ones from the Harry Potter set I never picked up any LOTR sets for the brown ones back in the day. I have tried to source a couple from Bricklink but with shipping and such they quickly cost nearly as much. HOWEVER, I have not managed to even reach the Bricks & Pieces service all weekend - I only face errors whenever I try! Quote
Grover Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 @Frike, try calling. As long as you want 15 types of elements or less, they can take B&P by phone. Quote
Exetrius Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Wanted to place a little order today, with the cool pieces such as the hiking rucksack and Batman part packs, but I'm getting error messages saying I should try again later... Quote

Just refresh the page there and then, it usually works for me. Clicked on “Buy Pieces” and this comes up: https://www.lego.com/en-us/shared/errorpage.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/replacementparts/sale It’s working now. Now I’m getting an “Oops” message every time I type in a set number. Quote

Seconded! searched all of Brickset, not willing to believe I had never seen them before, but here we are... @MKJoshA please explain! Also, didn't find the batman accessory packs available, did you call to get them?? Btw, I'm quite frustrated that I have not for a moment seen the DC CMF trans clear minifigure 'posing' pieces available, unlike many of you! Quote
