RichardGoring Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 Sweet, sweet B&P order from Jan 11 arrived today into Boston, MA. A useful distraction from the terrible stuff going on right now. Mainly parts that are missing from old sets and minifigure pieces. No animals, but three missing cat tiles that I shall be able to put up until my February order arrives. Quote

You mean a male minidoll head from Friends theme? Thanks MKJoshA! Yes that's the one. Its apparently King Triton's head from the new Little Mermaid set. It appears that his hair and beard is one piece (along with his face) that fits over the separate blank head. Im assuming that the Beast from past Beauty &Beast sets was done in the same manner (but with printed head underneath). Could this be the first big beard minidoll? Also I'm sorry to hear that some of these new parts are not yet showing up in some areas 😢 Hopefully they'll be available soon for everyone Edited March 1, 2022 by teamzissou Quote

Yeah this is the case, and we have discussed it in the Disney Properties 2022 topic a bit. It's just totally weird, because why isn't it a beard+hair piece over a regular printed head, just like minifigures have? Anyway, is what it is. It is the first minidoll with more than printed facial hair as far as I know. Quote

anothergol Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 Glad it's still the old system & the new parts are available here, however I'm sad not to see the new slopes from the Speed Champions sets. I've curses those sets for relying too much on stickers, and for once we really needed stickers because they're brand new parts, we get them printed :( Already 3 or 4 colors, it could take years until we get them unprinted in other sets.

betaplayer Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 The new system is an absolute disaster in Belgium at the moment, almost no parts are available: (I compared to the dutch site, you have thousands of bricks available.) Quote

I think you are looking at old Pick a Brick, and old Bricks & Pieces is still active in Belgium. When I go to Bricks and Pieces through the Australian region (my default), I still have to choose a country for where I'm ordering. Countries where the new B&P/PaB has rolled out no longer appear on that list (Germany and France for example), but Belgium is still on the list. Therefore I think what you're seeing looks limited because Pick a Brick was always way more limited than Bricks & Pieces. Quote

Weird, on the Belgian site, you're automatically redirected to the pick a brick section on the site. Using the Belgian site, there is no way to access bricks and pieces to buy new pieces. I've send an e-mail to their customer service. Edit: now B&P is accessible again... weird. Edited March 2, 2022 by betaplayer Quote
Lion King Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 It’s just a small (and personal) announcement from me… My Jan 17th order finally shipped, scoring to Lego.com. However, not other 4 - 5 orders to be shipped yet. Quote
Maple Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 I just got my January 11th I think it was order. They made a mistake and switched a torso to one I have never seen. Green Hulk looking thing. Quote

RichardGoring Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Made an order to get the Jane Goodall GWP and had a look to see if any of my B&P wanted list were back in stock before the update. Hurrah! Grey squirrels will now be joining the others. And because of FOMO, I got the dark orange horse. And many of the new different coloured three leaf studs (32607), all of which are back in stock. They may arrive just in time to make the Ideas Treehouse a full multi-colour autumn set, along with the squirrels. Quote

Hi, on the 01.03. and today, I placed B&P orders and my country Luxembourg has not been updated yet. The 01.03. order was stuck in state “New Order”. The pieces were still not displayed the day after, so I cancelled the order. They usually take an hour or so, so that was really strange. Today I placed another B&P order, including some store articles to be on the safe side for the GWP. This order has now been stuck in state “In Process” since midnight, with the B&P row having no state. The store articles cannot be shipped because the B&P cannot be loaded. When clicking the B&P link in that row in the order, the Pick-a-Brick site opens, which has 1400 pieces available. The PaB of an updated country like Germany features 12000 pieces. Can you confirm whether your order has the same issue? Including the state of the order and the empty state of B&P entry? I know that Austria is also affected. Quote

I'm in the US, so it may be different, but my order email came through about 30 minutes after I placed the order, and it has the set, GWP, and B&P components. I had no issues getting to the original Bricks & Pieces site (or the original Pick A Brick site, but I didn't order from that). The website order status shows the set and GWP as In Warehouse, the Bricks and Pieces line as 'Shipped' (although it always does this, even though it hasn't), and each individual B&P element is down as 'In Process'. It usually takes a day or two for that to change to 'In Warehouse'. Sorry that it's not working for you. Quote

I've noticed that they've removed the B&P link from the usual place, perhaps they've removed it entirely, perhaps it's well hidden somewhere else. Bookmarks to B&P still work, though. Seems pretty silly to add the new parts to old B&P (well I guess they were already there and marked to be revealed at this date), but hide access to it. I've placed a B&P order a week ago and it went through, parts saying "in warehouse". I plan to make a new one, we'll see. Quote
teamzissou Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Rather bizzare version of Kraven (Spider-man villain) for giggles I guess the Tiger tail was out of stock when I placed this order. Have multiples of a few parts above This was a Jan 10 order. Have another Jan 10th order that hasn't arrived yet. Other orders (Jan 11 and two Jan 16) marked as shipped but not arrived yet. Several orders after Jan 20 still marked as "In Warehouse" Hoping some of my more interesting parts arrive soon. Sooo difficult waiting 😄 and checking the mail daily Edited March 3, 2022 by teamzissou Quote
Clone OPatra Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 My Jan 11 arrived. I'll get a picture together over the weekend, but I'm loving some of these new parts! I've noticed that the hairpieces designed for Friends, while they are now hard plastic and also designed to work with Minifigures, the hair line dips a bit low, definitely lower than hairpieces designed for minifigures. They still look good though. I also LOVE the head of the scientist from the rocket launch set. It was one that was available in Jan even though the set didn't actually release until later. Both expressions are so distinct and useful. Quote
svede Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I usually do more reading than posting, but had to log in to share this.... I was checking on the status of horses in LEGO BAP (USA) and saw the reddish brown horse was available again (it wasn't last week): It is this one here, which was last used in 2019, so I am wondering if a new set is going to have this horse? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10352c01pb01#T=C Edited March 4, 2022 by svede Quote
karrit Posted March 4, 2022 Posted March 4, 2022 Dang, I just placed a parts order earlier. I ordered some of the reddish brown one but I didn't think to check to see if there were other colors available or I would have ordered some of the darker ones. Quote
