I rarely buy from bricks and pieces nowadays (takes forever to arrive, and bricklink has more variety) but I might make an exception for those ninjago wolf clan pieces, love some good villain army building!

Ah - Bricksafe! I forgot about them. A few other parts listed here that stand out that I didn't notice from before:

  • The new Harry Potter potion bottle smoke/steam.
  • Baby stroller
  • Mr. Pale's head - and we already saw his torso, so I'm glad that all of him will be obtainable! 
    • Interestingly, Tox's torso is also listed, even though her legs have been available for awhile. Odd that they've staggered it - but that makes me hope that Euphrasia's torso will also be added as some point, as only her legs are available now as well.
  • The unprinted Ninjago dragons, in trans-orange and gold
  • The "Grape Soda" 1x1 round tile from Up

Definitely quite a few cool things on the horizon...

The Harry Potter Potions smoke effects are there, but I’m not seeing the new flask (unless I’m missing it). That’s really good though – makes me hope that new gargoyle just introduced in the Wednesday theme will show up in PaB too. 
 

In addition to the baby stroller, the new brown wheelchair from the latest Harry Potter is also available for anyone who’s interested in historical/fantasy compatible disability aids. 
 

I forgot those Ninjago mini dragons would be available soon! I’m going to need some of those.

All of the printed parts from both the Up and Inside Out Brickheadz appear to be on the list, if they appear that will be great for Pixar fans who want some of these parts but don't want to buy the whole set.

When I first checked this several hours ago it listed two new bottles (same design, different colors) as amount the named parts with no images. It seems they’ve since confirmed that they’re the two new flasks from the Harry Potter Potions Classroom set – which is a nice confirmation. 
 

Really excited for Wednesday.

The new flask and the clear dome minifig helmet have absurd prices. Everything else seems pretty normal or what I expected, even the tiger.

Cool to see the two torsos from the Durmstrang Ship, and the Nazgul, actually there. Hopefully they don't get cancelled from the order I placed.

Posted

Nazgul torso has gone to out of stock already. I had 9 in my cart, but all got removed while I was picking other parts.

Posted

I was looking forward to getting Mr. Pale this morning, but even though his torso was on all of the lists, it's still not available. I can't find it in a general search by newest parts, looking at the set inventory, or searching the individual part number. I may hold off for now, then...

Also, the Nasgul torso seems to have just gone out of stock.

Seems that there are a bunch of parts that were on the list of "supposedly comming this month" parts that haven't made PaB yet.

A bunch of Ninjago parts didn't land (Ninjago is always weird about what does and doesn't land on PaB and when it lands), also the printed scout uniform brick from the Up BrickHeadz, the bright-light-blue train door from the HP Carriage set, a pair of dinosaur arms, the Monkie Kid Nine-Headed Demon cape, the Monkie Kid torso from the Pagoda set and a couple of others.

Seems the sound brick from the Retro Radio set is somehow locked and wont be comming to PaB. Although it would probably cost a fortune if it did.

the Monkie Kid Nine-Headed Demon cape,

if you look at the price of the monkie king scarf, might be in the same box since they all in the Nezha mech set.

Looks like some of the missing parts showed up (Up BrickHeadz printed brick, Monkie Kid torso, bright light blue train door, missing yellow wedge tile and a couple more). Just waiting for the rest of the parts I want to make it to the bestseller warehouse (and for the 2 x 2 printed helicopter tile from the yellow LEGO truck to show up for sale for Australia, its already showing up for sale for other countries) and I can look at placing this order.

Rather worryingly they have increased the price of the nazgul torso in some countries! Is that something they will start with now, increase the price of product's that sell out quickly?!
Should decrease it on other parts that are not selling well then  :devil:
PAB will work as a stock marked :wacko:

While it's not the same thing exactly, I've often suspected that pieces with more limited runs have higher prices. I haven't studied it scientifically so I don't know if it's universally true or just confirmation bias, but for instance the Cheetah hairpiece from the WW84 set and the recent new Bo Katan hairpiece were both disproportionately expensive compared to other hairpieces.

I haven't seen it applied to torsos before, but I wouldn't be surprised if they increase the price of torsos that are more limited to help absorb the cost of the run.

Also in the realm of pricing, I wonder if certain exorbitant PaB prices drive up Bricklink prices. For instance the new flask pieces have been available on PaB (mostly from German sellers) for around $1 or less USD, but they're over $3 on PaB. If BL sellers put their prices up to $2.50, they'd still be undercutting PaB, so what reason do they have not to?

Yeah, for UK the Nazgul torso is now £1.50 instead of £1.03, but still OOS. I was stupid, I put 50 in my cart and was about to checkout but thought I'd just buy the 9 I wanted for me and fill up the cart to £50 with other parts I want, instead of over buying and selling on the excess torsos. 

As for bl vs pab prices, the high pab prices tend to stop high volume of parts making it to bl but don't always set the bl price. Sometimes a part will be expensive on pab, but if enough sellers have them as it is in a cheap to mid range set, it is still competition between sellers that set the price. If the part is only in an expensive set and expensive on pab too, bl prices are more likely to be similar to (or often even higher than) pab prices.

 

In the case of the flask, it is potentially as they won't sell very well at $2.50. Remember the volume sellers make money on selling volume rather than highest price. If they are paying 50c a piece, selling at $2.50 will give them $2 profit per piece but it will be a slow seller at such a high price and others will get the piece and prices will drop over time. They are unlikely to sell 10000s at that price. Whereas $1 gives them 50c profit per piece and it will likely sell much faster and they can shift them quickly and move on to the next cheap part they can get.

If anyone does find the green cape with holes (nine head demon minifigure) from Nine headed Beast set and Nezha's Ring of Fire Mech set please share info. 

After watching a speed build of the Nezha's Ring of Fire Mech set it appears that 3 minifigures are in bag 4. Inside the paper bag no 4 it appears is two smaller paper bags and one cardboard container (typically used for capes and fabric). All three of the minifigures in bag 4 have fabric items. They are Nezha, Monkey King, & The Nine-Headed Demon

Standard PAB orders are currently contributing towards the GWP threshold, which is interesting, as I think previously they didn't. The T&Cs generally always say that they don't.

Anyway, it was useful to get me over the threshold for the Bakery GWP. Shame that quite a few parts are out of stock, but I got enough. Including two right gorilla arms. Just need the rest of it to come back into stock!

Thank you! I greatly appreciate you sharing this! I was able to adjust my order and get standard parts that were on my wanted list (instead of waiting in the hopes that they would eventually be moved to bestseller)! Worked for me as well! Hope this isn't just a one time occurrence

People that were in Skaerbag have reported that the Pick a Brick team wanted to take a look into it, since it wasn´t supposed to not be counting according to them.

Back when they fused Pick a Brick and Parts and Pieces  they changed it so that both were counting (and it was also announced that way) but the T&Cs actually stated standart wouldn´t count anyways - till it changed to not counting for whatever reason. Wouldn´t be surprised if someone saw the T&Cs and changed it according to them.
