Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces

Barracuda Bay and Ninjago Season 13 stopped production/retired, might be reason they were canceled if they ran out of parts.

There's still some stock around, I really suggest buying one now before the price skyrockets. 

One of the best Lego sets ever and I'm sure it will cost a fortune in a few years

Maybe OT, but where do you suggest looking for stock options on Barracuda Bay? I also missed out on getting it.

Just got an email from lego, that they had to cancel 2 of the bricks from order, which is a first for me, usually they just delay it instead, the bricks were both minifig parts, shown below.

If it was a website order, it was almost certainly that those parts are out of production and gone-forever (and any remaining stock is allocated specifically for missing/broken). Which means that between the time you ordered and now, they ran out of what they were willing to sell. Happened to me too, a couple days back, with minifig parts from that 2021 Monkie Kid bike-duel set.

(By contrast if you phone-ordered stuff that can't be bought on the website, well, it may be canceled from your order if it wasn't supposed to be sold in the first place... Or it may sneak through.)

In the US I would try looking in the Legoland stores - they have been turning up there off and on when out of stock otherplaces. They have websites and you could try calling them directly as well.

Wheres the T Shape piece from? I havent seen that piece before.

@MKJoshA If you have an AIM Agent from the Marvel theme, would you mind taking a photo of the Fire Fighter Helmet on the figure? Those pieces are too expensive to get on the off chance the combo works.

The T piece is from this Luigi set. Part:

And I think the hazmat helmet really works well for an AIM Agent:

Thanks for taking the Pic! I agree does work. Maybe Ill match the leg colour when I get the pieces in

Just saw on IG that some people contacted customer service for the missing 2022 pieces. According to the story on IG they were told that the pueces would be available 3 months after initial release.

Interesting. I feel like that’s a reasonable policy tbh

[RichardGoring]

Agreed, that would be fair and easy to deal with if it's predictable like that.

[Clone OPatra]

It's a reasonable enough policy if it holds true. The only annoying thing about it is for those who like to wait to do single larger orders from multiple waves of releases, who will now have to wait much longer and potentially risk some things being out of stock.

For example, whereas previously if you wanted new parts from January sets and March sets, you only had to wait the two months between Jan 1 and March 1 to then do your order. Now to do that you'd have to wait three months from Jan, and another three months from March, meaning you'd have to wait nearly six months from the time the January sets released.

Again, not the end of the world at all, and it should be fine because historically most parts stuck around on the system for at least a year as I recall, but still an extra layer of annoyance.

[Flak Maniak]

It will only make it harder to do large orders if parts stay on PaB&P for less total time, right? If they stay buyable on it for about the same amount of time (if they get a similar amount of total stock?), then it's just shifting the whole thing by three months. Which is fine with me. I'll be patient for new parts.

If this policy means that we get a good selection of the most-interesting parts, then... It's a great resolution to... Well, whatever Lego's primary concern was. From their statements it sounds like it was stock of actual replacement parts about which they were concerned.

Obviously I hope we get an even-broader-and-greater selection of weird parts. If delaying their buyability on PaB&P lets us have that, it's a great trade I think.

It's JUST the following four months that will be annoying and hard to wait, this gap. But once that passes it'll be, well, every month we'll get new and interesting parts to buy again.

[Lion King]

I may not understand fully about new PaB system but I tired to find an existing piece (not new part or color, for example, a black bucket handle) by putting part ID# in a search bar and I don’t get any result I tried existing set numbers that is not very new but i still don’t get results  it may be glitches then.

That does look good. I'm going to use my suit with some older Fire Fighter suits that are the same color. I think they were for forest fire theme.

Also can anyone find ANY times in LEGO's modern history where they made an improvement? I can't.

Switching from wood to plastic in 1960's, (and then in the 70's to ABS from some other type of plastic) was a good thing, right?

Improvements to what? Their website, or in general?

Because if in general, we can talk about double and triple moulding technology, extra detail to Minifigures like side arm and leg printing (yes they've been able to do side arm for a long time, but the detail is better than ever), new useful parts, and the list goes on.

I know this isn't popular but I would be fine without arm printing or dual molded (even though I love that) if LEGO could just use more paint on their normal printing. I even asked for a replacement of the head the girl has in Santa's visit because it's so badly done, it was also smeared. But LEGO drives up costs, makes billions and the quality is really bad. The website barely functions even after 30 years. LEGO's solution is just not ever keep sets in stock.  New brick buying thing is a mess, there are still two separate groups like before.

I said MODERN. 

Vintage cars are over 30 years old, so even classic space and castle are vintage now.

I'm not just talking about minifigures with dual moulding. Heaps of amazing pieces wouldn't be possible or wouldn't be as good without dual or triple moulding, things like the Ninjago snake baddies, sheep, the foal, the toucan, complex hat-hair combos, and the list goes on and on and on. They'd started to dabble in some of those things with paint applications before they progressed dual moulding, but dual moulding is way more reliable and the detail possible much more crisp.

We're in an amazing era for LEGO parts.

That the colors don't match.

I rather have quality control over all of LEGO's parts and colors than dual molded pieces.

Uh, no? You said “ANY times in Lego’s modern history”. How can you define “modern history” and “any times”?

The stock issue has to do with covid and the fact that the factories are not at full capacity we've known that for a while now.  The new system will take time like any new system it will have bugs just look at any new video game.  I've only had minor issues and I've been into lego since the 80's.  I have some prints on the head wipe off on a cmf before and once in a while have a problem with a brick.  I don't think the quality is bad by any  means.  Also haven't they gone to the plant based plastic so that will also affect things since they are not fully plastic anymore.  What are you talking about the website not functioning for 30 years am i missing something because it works fine.

See that is bullshirt, as a former QA, TLG could easily afford to hire an entire dept than deals with the tech side, they just choose to work with what they have in house already. If your going to compare it to video games, think of it as a live service game where updates and bug fixes come quickly, rather than..well..what the site currently is.
