The Friends beanie+hair and fedora+hair are really nice, and I'm keen to see them on Minifigures! Totally this. as an aside - I’m sure it’s down to proportions, but it’s fascinating to me how all minifig hairpieces seem to work well on minidolls, yet some hairpieces for minidolls don’t translate so well to minifigures.

Yes please!!!!! Quote

I don’t have to trash talk to that coral lovely trash can. :) Edited January 5, 2022 by DBlegonerd7 Quote
Maple Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 I'm still building a main street using the old baseplates (literally they are the old style and in green) and modifying I think I'm just going to have a bunch of the coral trash cans for no reason other than I need more colors. I'll use grey ones in front of the Friends sets and the coral in front of earth tone color buildings. Quote

Translation: "Soon we will be trying out a new way of buying bricks for our fans in the Netherlands. Keep an eye out for more news!" Thanks for sharing! I wonder what it will be, maybe bulk buy discount? Or a page with the new pieces listed? Quote

I suspect it will be more like the UK had recently, with relatively high minimum purchases. LEGO doesn't tend to do things that AFOLs approve of, and is usually (probably sensibly for them) focused on what makes better business sense. But who knows, if we could wish for something, maybe a way to upload a list of parts, rather than finding each one individually? Quote
Project Inkfish Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Anyone had an order ship in the past month? I ordered December 8th. Still in warehouse. Quote

Hoth Rebel Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Same here, but the banner also says: 'Bricks & Pieces purchases are taking about 5-6 weeks to be delivered. We’ll send you an email once your order is on its way' Quote
Maple Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Just be happy it now stays open instead of closing for 6-8 weeks like it used to. Quote

Roebuck Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 The new City animals are in stock I called in and ordered them on Friday and spent over 1 hour I think in queue before they answered, instead I could have waited a few days and ordered them on the webpage now Quote
Aurore Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 So thrilling! I was able to order most of the new parts that were on my wishlist. Notably, the following are still marked as not available (at least here in France): the dark orange squirrel (), the dark orange horse (I seemingly got the very last one), the saddle, the chopsticks and the flame yellowish orange plate-with-3 leaves.

Tygurah Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Was hoping to order the new Macaque figure but it seems the cape is still not available. Any ideas when that might change? Quote

You know I bought aaaaaaaaalll the orange squirrels, with the help of a nice French customer service agent, right? 🤣 Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Placed a sizable order (by my standards) too! I'm sure it'll still come in a tiny envelope and I will say, Anakin voice, "what have I done". Oddly, the parts I had held off getting from Encanto were all out of stock. The two new hairpieces, fork and watering can, and extra odd since the fork and watering can come in other 2022 sets. Also the new female nougat face from Star Wars. Oh well. Where I grew up we only had grey and black squirrels anyhow, so I don't mind missing dark orange ones for now. 1 hour ago, Tygurah said: Was hoping to order the new Macaque figure but it seems the cape is still not available.

bountybossk Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 I might have just bought a medium sized set worth of double moulded legs... The LBG-legs with black boots are just *chef's kiss*. Quote

And those pesky grey ones (who have not showed up in France yet!) are a danger for the ginger ones (source: European Squirrel Initiative). That's why as soon as the LEGO ones are available again, I'll order a whole army to fend off the battalion of greys and blacks I just ordered. I'm wondering whether my bank adviser would accept this as a justification for my insane LEGO expenses of the month... Quote
williejm Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Great to see the awesome pink, white & blue hoodie torso available too - Lego says trans pride! 💙🤍💖 🏳️⚧️ #6382240 Quote
