I've been doing the same since the first wave but some of the parts aren't available top purchase like shoulder armour and fabric pieces.

Oh I don't care about those parts. Even the hair, if it's too much the character gets a haircut.

Since today B&P is down in Germany for the new version, too. Let's keep fingers crossed that the new version will work.

LEGO's history will say this will be a massive disaster and the LEGO hobby will never be the same again.

Also B&P seems to be working fine for me. I'm still waiting for my December 31st order.

Darn, I was working on an order the other night with a few of the new Globe pieces but never finished.  My late December one has shipped but not my January 10th one.  I do have a shipment of a few sets out for delivery today from Feb. 1.

B&P is still active here in Australia, and actually still looks active when I change region to US too. I had no intention to place another order at least until the March sets release, though.

It looks like all the prices are being updated (and not in a good way for most of them)

Look at that price change for the horse : going from 5.47€ to 11.58€ …

Same here - I’m in USA and B&P is still active.

Holy F! Where is that screenshot from though? I haven't seen anything on B&P that looks like that.

Just placed an order in Canada as usual. And the horse is same price as before. The change in Canada is supposed to happen end of February and i think USA too..

It’s a custom script I made to track the items I want to get.

I usually wait for most of them to be available before making my order.

this time it seems that it would have been wiser to make several orders as soon as the items were available 🙁

I’ll see how things will evolve (is the horse a very special case?) but I might reconsider my recent routine from collecting new animals/minifigs I like from B&P.

Shocking! Completely shocking!
Not. 

At least minifigure heads are going down. I'm glad I bought the ice cream piece though if LEGO ever gets my orders moving.

If that is right, the price of the horse is insane and it was expensive before

The set cost 30 euro full price and if you get it on sale for e.g. 20 euro the horse is more than half the cost, so I guess BL will be a contender again for some animals :def_shrug:
We have not been spoiled with small sets with a horse and a minifig the last 10-15 years, but that was rather common previously with themes that had a lot of horses, so if we got that today the price of the horse would be higher than the set, makes no sense :hmpf:
Just a few examples:

The new horse is £10.00 in the UK. That's an absolutely awful price :pir-bawling:

White male lion is up to £9.52 and elephant head is £7.00 vs body (unavailable) at £6.77 so prices don't update until an item is in stock.

8x16 tile has gone from £1.46 to £1.67 and the cannon £1.78 to £2.54.

Plant limbs are down to £0.23 and £0.16 respectively and lots of bricks that I've checked are down a penny or two.

Overall it does seem to favour bulk lots of common pieces with the larger/specialised prices jumping significantly. You need to buy an awful lot of bricks at a few pennies cheaper to balance the increase in other prices for the same final order cost. I'm disappointed but not surprised.

I didn't even want that horse, but now I'm tempted to call up and see if I can add it to my last order that hasn't shipped yet. Probably too late, and likely not what I actually want, but it's staggering that the cost has increased so much. When it inevitably goes on sale, you may as well say "buy the horse & husky 60327 minifig pack and get a free horse jump build + an additional 170 bonus pieces to build a car and transport trailer".

I wonder when my order is shipped out, will they charge me with new price or the price when I ordered .... hmmm

Indeed. I have a few ‘in process’. Best practice would be to honour the cheaper price …

I have found a backdoor into Bricks and Pieces again lmao

Most pieces have gone down in price or stayed the same except the Horse, 

TEN ****ING POUNDS

Horse saddle has gone up by £0.30

82846 gone down by £0.03

Same for 83079 and 98461.

The Dots 1x1’s letters pack has gone down from £1.25 to just £0.52

Transparent Purple Sword from Series 22 has also gone down by £0.03

2 of the flesh minifigure heads are available from the 2022 Hoth battle pack. £0.23 each.

Aesthetically and functionally, B&P is the same, unless they are still implementing some more features and a new design, don’t expect much difference except for prices as previously mentioned.

I am sure they will give us the price we got when we ordered since I assume it is illegal to do otherwise, however I will be a thing to double check when we get the horses etc so the price has not changed..
