Yeah I thought of that too... it just that the “neck” near the “stud” is really longer and more straight on the 80497 part. Someone I am talking with over on IG made a good point. The “old/actual” pet is not really in system and doesn’t align well in some uses. He made a quick build to demonstrate this. But by making the piece slightly longer it would work. Anyways we will see:). I just want to buy it:) But n another note... I just placed an.... hum.... expensive order. Quote

Flak Maniak Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 You know that the click-hinge plates can be had for about a tenth the cost on BrickLink, right? But yeah, ouch on the glow-in-the-dark plates. I won't decide to build any substantially-glow-in-the-dark MOCs until I'm a rogue billionaire! Quote

Nicster2000 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Does anybody perhaps have some insider info on the parts on the orange spaceman like why they were available for a brief period before disappearing into “no results” upon searching with the part ID? Quote

They might have been sold in error especially since they were a book exclusive minifigure. Although saying that, they were available for LUGBulk 2020. Quote
chill9394 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Horses, black falcon torso, legs and shield back in stock Quote
Flak Maniak Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Perfect convenience; I wanted some Black Falcon shields as I'd not remembered to order them when I phoned in for Black Falcon torsos and legs. And that was the time they pulled the switcheroo on me after the call, and I didn't end up with any Cyber Drone heads either. So I ordered (among other odds and ends) a dozen Black Falcon shields and twenty Cyber Drone heads. Now all the things on my wish list are things that haven't been for sale at all yet, I reckon...

jonwil Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Too bad there aren't enough parts from my wish list for sale right now for me to be able to justify an order (given the high shipping costs to Australia) Edited February 16, 2021 by jonwil Quote

chill9394 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 B&P shipping is $15 to Australia. If it was $3, there would be a lot more orders. Otherwise order enough to meet free shipping threshold of $149 as long as there is a set order like a Xtra polybag included in the order alongside B&P. Quote

TheLegoDr Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I thought someone said March was when they were coming back, so I haven't looked. Naturally I miss out...grr. Hopefully they will return. Quote

That's awful! It's £2 in the UK which is $3.59 AUD. Wasn't the threshold for y'all like $200 at some point? Quote

Wasn't the threshold for y'all like $200 at some point? Yeah and it's $2.50 USD plus a bit of tax depending on state to the US. LEGO's operations in Aus/NZ pretty much suck and I never buy sets from them directly because they make it so not worth it. Since December 31st I've placed three B&P orders - one larger ($100) one to where I actually live in Australia, followed by two small ones to relatives in the US when parts I wanted became available. Both US ones have shipped and the first was already delivered. The one to Australia still hasn't shipped 6.5 weeks later. But I digress. This is the cool parts thread, not the regional whinge thread. I look forward to seeing what I even ordered in the Australia order, because at this point I've forgotten! Quote

Haha great idea! I look forward to it. I always forget to post my pictures, I will attempt to remember with my next order when it arrives. Nothing spectacular though, some pieces to complete my phase 1 prototype plus a couple of minifigure pieces whilst I remembered. I keep forgetting to buy the red whips, anyone else managed to buy them? Quote
