I should had waited haha Weren't the green legs cheaper on BL (aside from shipping)? I got rid of loads over the past couple of years, green always go quite cheap as demand is not very high. Quote

Thinking about it, at this rate they were handled faster and cheaper than LEGO, i remember buying them for .07 cents, and I just saw the pricing from lego for .58 cents for them on LEGO, massive difference I think. Shipping is where it’s at the moment and Bricklink will deliver faster and cheaper, in 2021 Pick a Brick was king for this hehe Edited January 6, 2023 by eldiano Quote
Brick Cucumber Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I haven't been kept up with B&P for a while. Really wanted to place a Jan order but I hate this Standard and Bestseller seperation. I just want to buy some parts. When's standard going to be available again Quote
Maple Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Those castle visors are already OOS. I really wish LEGO would smarten up and put in limits for minifigure parts and animal molds. Quote

I think I said it before but no one needs 200 baby cows or sheep. 25 per order would be great. 7 hours ago, Capybara554321 said: Or they could put them on backorder and keep making them till the interest dies. Or they can make a limit of 25 until the interest dies. They can't make every piece all the time. Quote
jonwil Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Absolutely the high demand stuff should be limited quantity. Things like animals, Castle and space fig parts etc. Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 I'm wondering if the Lego pulled the helmet visors rather than scalpers buying them up. Odd that only those 2 pieces should up as new. Seems plausible that Lego pulled them until more parts are released. Quote
Pchan1983 Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Interesting, the piglet, lamb and calf turning up as Best Seller for New Zealand. Quote

Quite a few parts have moved to Bestsellers including some non Yellow heads and torsos. Very interesting. Are the animals cheaper than before? Cant remember the price before Quote

Hopefully this years parts come soon... Quote

Would this indicate that they were pulled rather than sold out? Saw them for a day or two, couldn’t get myself to buy any as there wasn’t anything else new to justify a purchase. Quote

Nothing’s the same anymore, once they run out of stock for the time being they completely disappear from bricks and pieces. The number of bricks in November was around 12,000 now it’s like 11,200. Who knows what’s LEGO at’s play here, your best bet at this rate is brick link, sad to say though in 2021 Pick a Brick was the better alternative. Quote

Make sense I guess since a LOT of people are buying them, makes it more likely I will buy bestseller parts in the future.. I think it is likely the standard parts show up soon with a lot of new and interesting ones Hope I get them before they sell out Quote

cebelicamya Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Austrian Pick a Brick has only 3275 parts available and still no standard parts. I don't like the service anymore, in 2020 it was much better than now. @BitByBrick i am so jelous that in usa u have 11,200 pieces to choose from, at least lot more than what is currently available in austrian/german site.

Themiddlebrick Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 EU/UK/AU standard PAB was shut down as they expand the Poland bestseller warehouse which will go from approx. 1000 elements to over 4000. Once that transition is done the standard PaB will reopen. In the end these regions will have a much more robust bestseller collection to choose from as well as the full selection of Standard parts. August and September parts should be added when Standard re-opens as well followed by the return of the regular schedule for releasing new parts. Quote
anothergol Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Sounds bad to me. I've avoided "best seller" because I always place orders especially for new parts. In the past I was refilling some older parts as well but now that it's in another category I just avoid it, so I was happy that not much stuff was labelled as best seller. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 3 hours ago, Themiddlebrick said: August and September parts should be added when Standard re-opens as well followed by the return of the regular schedule for releasing new parts. Which regular schedule - the old regular B&P schedule when parts were released pretty much upon the release of new sets, or the new PaB schedule of 3-6 months post set release? As long as new parts don't get immediately added to bestseller, this works for me but I can see how it'd be annoying for a lot of people. I wonder what the timeframe will be for shifting parts from Standard to Bestseller going forward as well. For example, if I was to wait for new Jan parts to hit the service, would the August/September/October 22 already be on Bestseller by then or would they still be Standard so I can order everything I want together? Given the exorbitant shipping cost for Australia, it isn't economical to order the new parts every time they are released unless it's a very large release period like Jan. Quote
jonwil Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 The schedule of parts comming out a few months after set release is how its going to be going forward. Quote
Lion King Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I’m trying to find some printed 1x4 or 2x4 tiles that have wooden grain pattern. Like a 1x3 tile rom CMF Series 13’s Carpenter. Do you know if there is any existing element IDon the wooden planks? Quote
