Especially with shipping and all those nice fees they have. Or, you know, LEGO could stop coming up with excuses to not take my money. Funny, I got mixed up and thought you meant Lashina. That's the one I am looking for. Quote
Silent Nomad Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 I'm waiting for all the pieces of the book from the Silent Mary set to be available, because I've kind of taken to collecting that style of book. Quote

I was expecting the Silent Mary book to be released eventually because of that precedent. Quote

Dadster Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 I wish B+P would enable a long-term "hold" list. I've got a few pieces I want right now but not enough to warrant an order... Quote
jonwil Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I have decided not to wait for the rest of the new parts to show up (tiger, new minifig parts etc etc) and to just go ahead and place an order anyway (otherwise I might not have them in time to get them into MOCs for the LEGO show in October) Quote

Pretty sure you can order tigers that way, I did it back in the beginning of June and several EB members have done it since Quote
jonwil Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 The very limited number of different parts you can order by phone and the high shipping costs for Bricks & Pieces orders to Australia dont make that a viable option. In any case I dont need the tiger or the other not-yet-available stuff for my October show MOC plans so I will order what I do need now (teapot, dark blue wheel arches etc etc) along with whatever else is available for sale that I could make use of in the future (e.g. the other 2 big cats) to hit the "100 different parts" limit for online Bricks & Pieces orders and justify the $15 shipping cost (or maybe even increase the order to $200 with a Fun at the Beach and some other stuff so I get free shipping) Quote
Catanas Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I ordered one of each of the big cats recently and a few other bits to flesh out the order. I received it the other day and it had everything except the big cats... I mean really, that was the main part of the order! Pfft! They should be sending me them along soon thankfully, Quote
x105Black Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Yeah, I had an order that included a lot of tigers. I got the order and it had no tigers (even though they were on the invoice). So I called and they are being sent out now. But seriously, how do you miss all those tigers? Quote
Silent Nomad Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 is the tiger available through the online ordering system now, or just over the phone still? Quote
jonwil Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Tiger isn't showing as available for me here in Australia. Quote
jonwil Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Finally got my Bricks & Pieces order placed (after realizing that if I wait for the tiger and kayak and other stuff to show up, the parts wont arrive in time for me to use them for the October show) A few nice pieces in this one including the Venus Fly Trap, Leopard, Panther, new sunglasses head from Fun at the Beach, kayak paddle, 1 x 2 compass tile from the Jungle sets, white and pink teapots, Penguin umbrella, dentist torso, Fun at the Beach lifeguard torso, mudguards in dark blue and medium blue, some nice hair, the short legs in a few colors I didn't own yet, the Angry Birds egg piece in white, some nice dark purple pieces and more besides. On the "Order Status" page, it doesn't show the leopard and panther, it instead shows that I ordered a "6206370 PROTECTIVE BAG,ANIMAL NO. 1" and a "6206371 PROTECTIVE BAG,ANIMAL NO. 1". Can anyone who has ordered the big cats before confirm if this is what is supposed to happen and can anyone identify which of those part numbers corresponds to which of the big cats? (and if anyone has the matching number/name that goes with the tiger, that would be useful information as well) Quote
K_Tiger Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 That's the official designation for them. Tiger is 6206354, Leopard is 6206370 and Panther is 6206371. Quote

After you have sent in the big order online, call in and add the tigers to the order.. You have to do this before they pick your order! Also make sure the price is the same for the bricks on the first order when you get the next receipt Quote

jonwil Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks for the tip but its too late now, I just got a notification that my parts have shipped (that was fast :) I will place another order later in the year (or early next year) to get the stuff that isn't yet available (none of which I actually need for the projects I am working on for the October show even if 1 or 2 might potentially have been nice to have). Not that I am unhappy with the parts I did order, some great stuff in there and I got all the parts I actually need for my MOCs like the dark blue mudguards :) Quote
jonwil Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) LEGO have really stepped up their game on B&P shipping times. Order was placed on the 17th of August, got the shipping notification about 8 hours later and the pieces arrived earlier today. Under a week to go from ordered to "arrived at my house in Australia" is amazingly fast :) Just checked my order and they got it 100% right, all the parts I ordered are there. Somehow though I got 3 extra pieces I didn't order, a 1 x 2 plate in brown that I ordered none of, an extra 1 x 1 round plate with handle in trans clear (ordered 4, packing list says 4, got 5) and most bizarrely I got an extra copy of the lifeguard torso from the Fun at the Beach set (ordered 2, packing list says 2, got 3).

It's going downhill in my country, time to wait from ordering to shipping has gone up quite a bit but that might be because the warehouse didn't have the new garmadon legs in yet. There are incomplete set inventories even on the missing pieces section for the ninjgao movie sets, this is disgraceful. Quote
Robianco Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I think people need to take a step back and think about what this service offers. This is a toy maker letting you buy individual parts from sets along with ordering replacement parts free of charge if they were missing. I can't think of another toy maker offering this service. If a part isn't there it can't be described as disgraceful. There's a sense of entitlement that can run through this forum that staggers me at times. 'Adults' throwing tantrums because things aren't leaked quickly enough and now this... Quote
jonwil Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I am certainly not complaining about the awesome service TLG has given me and all the cool parts I have gotten that would otherwise only be available in expensive sets. Quote
