Brickfanatics has an article about it. https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-40608-halloween-fun-vip-add-on-pack It looks like it will have Pearl dark grey eye slit helmets as well! Quote

Thanks! That looks like a great pack. Now, let's hope it's released worldwide, unlike that winter wonderland one... Quote

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

karrit Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Looks Black to me. Would be great if it's actually PDG but the colors seem a bit off on a lot of the parts pictured. Quote
Roebuck Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 It is probably a rendered picture so you can not trust those, my guess is that is black Quote
Clone OPatra Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 Plus the bat is more of a matte piece, while the helmet is glossy. Quote
HotdogBricks Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 They updated the website again. All the new renders have been removed and they have reverted every part to the still image. Quote

Quote
Clone OPatra Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 I've consistently been on PaB throughout this time and I've still never had the new renders turn up for me! Quote
Themiddlebrick Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 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. Quote
jodawill Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 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.) Quote
karrit Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 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. Quote
eldiano Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 there's some indiana jones set pieces there!! only a matter of time for them to be available Quote
The Reader Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited August 11, 2023 by The Reader Quote
jonwil Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 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. Quote
Classic_Spaceman Posted August 12, 2023 Posted August 12, 2023 Both the trans-green and trans-red canopies from the GotG3 sets are available, albeit out of stock. @danth Quote

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

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) Quote

What a shame. Quote
