anothergol Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Indeed, here my first B&P order is from 2015, but I remember back then it was still kind of a secret part of Lego, many didn't know about it, and Lego was certainly keeping it well hidden. And even today they probably still want you to use the (pointless IMHO) PickABrick page instead. 4 hours ago, J4ck said: Yes I agree Lego doesn’t want to drive away sales, hence some of the prices as well. I've never bought a set for a specific part, and I would never do it. I understand that they don't wanna sell the stuff that's very unique to a set, because there are many collectors who only want 1 of the unique part/minifig. But as a MOCer, if I want a part, I want dozens of it, and in no way I'd buy many of the same sets just to get them. And if Lego doesn't want my money, well it'll go to Bricklink, from sellers who bought the sets on sale. Quote

I’m a MOCer as well, I buy most pieces from B&P because I can find the pieces all in one place opposed to spending loads on shipping. Quote
anothergol Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Yes.. providing Lego lets you buy them. Quote
MKJoshA Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Here's some my last order of the year. Only 2 parts I wanted but they didn't have. Guess I'll have to hope for next year. Quote
MAB Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Wow, those flames are quite expensive. Edited November 27, 2018 by MAB Quote

anothergol Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) A couple of recolors have just been added (nothing in stock, so I won't bother with the ID's) This time I can't even place my order, with 5 attempts... I believe people in the US have less problem with B&P, simply because it often occurs that you place a B&P order in the right country, you're already logged in in the shop in the right country, and YET your B&P order ends up in the US version of the shop. From that point, you have no solution. Changing the country just hangs the site, you can only do it if you empty your cart first. When that happens, you can re-open B&P from your cart in another tab (& pray for it to work), then empty your cart, then try to re-place the order. But here I'm in a loop where it only wants to send it to the US :( Edit: 3 of the above orderable by phone: 6228601, 6228601 & 6231765 Edited December 4, 2018 by anothergol Quote
Exetrius Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I went through all of the 2018 sets (some older ones, too) and compiled everything that I was interested in. You can view it here: https://puu.sh/CcVN9/c2df34f463.pdf I'm not sure when B&P is closing, but it may still be of help. I placed my order last week, so hopefully I'll be sharing another loot shot before Christmas. Quote

Cleared cookies, tried a different computer in another place, tried about 5 times, first it says an unexpected error has occurred and my cart is empty and I'm back in the US region.

Lovely way to spend 2 hours Ah, please report it, it may really be that it's impossible to order now. I've sent them my list and they've prepared my order, that was the only way for me (except it ALSO went wrong when the operator entered my credit card #). Quote
Sven F Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 About 2 hours later I tried again and everything went smoothly. I thought this glitch was fixed long ago. 1x2 rounded plates in lbg were available for me, and finally those evasive white wands, black dish/plates/minnie's ears and 4x4 curved tiles in black. Quote
anothergol Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah looks like 1x2 rounded in LBG are showing in stock now. 6223495 (yellow car roof [new model]) was orderable by phone too btw. Quote

Exetrius Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I received my order today! Lootshot, as promised: Quote
Maple Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Darn. I didn't have time to waste going through the insane system LEGO has to order. I wanted a bunch of the rarely on BnP NinjaGo torsos that I doubt will be back when the store returns in 8 weeks. Oh well. Money saved. Quote
x105Black Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Nice haul! I didn't realize that black hair was available! Quote

Early summer 2019 is when the 2018 set pieces goes out unless the 2018 sets are still being sold next year which some of them are. Quote

Ahh, tis the season to be patient. Unrelated BnP grumble: I ordered parts (from BnP Canada) back in mid-Nov that haven't shown up yet - probably victims of the Canada Post strike and stuck in limbo somewhere. Bah, humbug! [Edit]Which of course just showed up today! Edited December 15, 2018 by manglegrat Package finally arrived... Quote

If you were only interested in Ninjago torso's, then it shouldn't be hard: Open 2018 sets list of Ninjago on Brickset in a separate tab. Plug in the set numbers into B&P. Do some scrolling and find the torsos you need. Alternatively, you could search by element 76382, which gives you the list of approximately all torsos (excluding CMF ones). Quote

Post on strike in Canada too? It was the same here in Belgium. I got a Bricklink order litterally 45 days later. And the reason being that after the strike, mail goes back to normal and all the one that was stacked doesn't get any priority. (which isn't the end of the world, but think of the a**holes who smuggle poor exotic animals using normal mail, a lot of which already arrive dead when the mail works normally..)

I do just search 76382 and see what was listed, I just noticed the last time there was a bunch of NinjaGo I hope say when the store reopens in two months. Bricks and pieces is sometimes slow, it took me months last time I think. And are the new 1x3 with center pinhole on BnP before it closed? I want to update my old Unikiities at some point. Quote
