Are we sure that it is PDG and not just black? 
 

Above the helmet you can see a black bat and it is clearly a different color. The helmet is definitely metallic/shiny.

They updated the website again. All the new renders have been removed and they have reverted every part to the still image.

I'm in the middle of a PAB order (here in the US) and this is not the case. Where are you seeing this?

The renders are an experiment they are currently running. There is a 50/50 chance you will see the new renders if you have cookies enabled. They are testing it to see if it is worth the extra resources to create and use the 3D renders vs the static images (i.e. more sales). If they do think so they will likely be improved (additional angles, better quality etc). No word on how long it will last and/or if it will revert to static images again while they decide if they should continue with it. 

Personally I think that overall its an improvement, being able to see both sides of a dual printed head, or torso is great and I think the renders are a better representation (in general) than the static images. Assuming they will be further improved I hope they continue with them.

I didn't realize that the new images were actually 3D. That does change things. Sometimes it's hard to tell from a single photo what a piece actually is. I have to look stuff up on Bricklink a lot. I've definitely bought two-sided heads before when they weren't suitable for the hats I was using. (I've actually considered erasing one side, but I'm such a purist, I feel bad about actually having this thought.)

A lot of new parts listed on the US website. All currently showing out of stock of course.  Definitely a few there I want.  Let the stalking begin.

I've been to Legoland Germany recently. They have a brick store there - that's "heaven on earth"!

100gr cost 9,99€, even printed parts. Special parts have their own price, for example bardings 4€, orca 10€, ice bear 7€, horses 4€. These prices are cheaper than on Lego's own B&P. They even had parts which aren't available on B&P yet.

They also have a BAM store. Minifigs are 2,49€ each (5 parts - legs, torso, head, headwear and extra piece). They had all minifigs from 10305. They had a full bin of tan pith helmets from the Indiana Jones sets.

Just crazy. I wasn't aware of this opportunity.

Comparing the full list of parts available on pab as of last night (including out of stock) against the list of "new for April 2023" parts on new elementary, there are only 2 parts not available that aren't considered "licensed". One is the string from the land rover and the other is the cool yellow panel piece from the flowerpot gwp.

Obviously not everything is in stock but it's all up for sale.

I've seen a few videos of that place, and would love to go one day. I'd have to travel with no luggage going out, to fill my allowance coming back! :laugh:

I'm afraid that there is a *ridiculously small* limit of weight per person per day... 

 

In EU they have alrady added the sand green new parts for the Land Rover but they are still OOS (as the purple airtanks)

Really? As low as 23kg or would I be ok with that? :wink:

Out of interest, what is the limit?

100g per part - for the parts that are paid by weight. Parts like the Animals or the Lion Knights Bardings however are paid per piece and are limited to ten (I think)

Oh wow, that's ludicrous. I'm sure I've seen people get bags full of stuff. What a shame.
