Robianco Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 They have removed them in the past. For example, the ghostbusters torsos were free for a while, then they realised and changed them to 58p or something, then eventually pulled them (even though they were still available for replacement parts). Green lantern was available for a long time, but got pulled before the bricks and pieces site went down. Remember that they are not meant to be selling licensed parts through bricks and pieces at all. Some but not all get through and they pull them when they realise. They just take a while to realise sometimes. True... but some of those parts were available for a LONG time... they've also had items that originally weren't in stock that then became available such as Sabine's helmet and the dual moulded legs. Seeing as not all the parts from each set are available, or automatically listed, then you have to assume that the items that are in stock and available are assigned as such. It's probably safe to assume that things will continue to move in and out of stock or simply stop being available but I don't see them removing all licensed parts altogether. Not seeing as they've had plenty of opportunities to do so in the past and not stopped them each time sets are released. Quote
Captain Britain Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Apologies - didn't mean to cause any upset on the fact that they came through free. I have used the B&P page a couple of times before and always paid for everything, and if I couldn't find it I have emailed Lego direct and sorted bits out (one occasion being a sticker set for the UCS Slave 1, which in fact I asked to buy and they actually refused and said they would post it out free of charge). When I couldn't find the buy link I thought it had gone and didn't think to check back here, I didn't intentionally go on there to 'cheat the system' and ruin it. Quote
jingram Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I'm surprised they didn't ask for proof of purchase. I've had a few rare times where a piece was missing (Hulkbuster head) or damaged (space Batman wings ripped) straight out of the box, and they always asked for the code on my instruction manual.

When it's something licensed that is specifically identifiable as a certain character then they do. Quote
jingram Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I know. And I would expect the Nick Fury and Maria Hill pieces he picked would have triggered it. Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 My Nick Fury and Maria Hill arrived yesterday! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Sorry to bother, but i have a question to those who managed to get their pieces. Did anyone remember if they had ultra agents pieces available? Specifically sharx torso and terabytes head. Thanks. Quote
Actor Builder Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 amazingbricks, they had Ultra Agents parts in and out for a while. I was able to get a few of the bad guy characters, one of which was Terabyte, but they didn't send his helmet, even though I ordered it. Oh well. I don't know about Sharx. Quote

Actor Builder Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Yep. I got the entire minifigure except the helmet. But my two Chima Big Fig bodies made up for it. I saw that they were available, and ordered two with the rest of my Bricks And Pieces order. They were somewhere around $1 each. When I got the confirmation email, they were $6.50 each... I called customer service, and hey said that they weren't even supposed to be available. They sent them to me for the $1 price, and promptly removed them from the site. EDIT: Big Fig, not Bug Fig. Edited January 31, 2016 by Actor Builder Quote

They've never been that nice to me. This time they told me that all the Ninjago pieces I ordered were licensed parts. Which figures are available now? Quote
strangely Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Well I just placed an order, looks like just about everything available before the shut down is still on there. Quote
MAB Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 A few parts have disappeared - mainly SH as far as I can tell (Cyborg, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Robin, Cap Cold, etc, Joker wig from tumbler). GL and Sinestro went before Xmas. Helicarrier figures still there though. They don't seem to have included much new stuff. I was after some nexo knights torsos, but they haven't been included yet.

I saw Robin's Jokerland torso, almost bought it too, but I'm waiting to see if he pops up in a Dimensions set. I was disappointed about the Nexo Knights too, I wanted those book pieces. Quote
N_Cat Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 The only pieces in new sets that I can find are Superman/Hyperion's head, BvS Batman's head, and Legolas/Kryptonite goon's head. Quote
MAB Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 ^ Those heads were there before Christmas. I have some of each :-) Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Spidey's red and blue legs are now available in the US. Quote
chump Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Are the prices missing? They were there before they pulled B&P off. And quantity is restricted to how many pieces were in that set? Quote
MAB Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Are the prices missing? They were there before they pulled B&P off. And quantity is restricted to how many pieces were in that set? You need to go through the BUY section in bricks and pieces, not replacement parts. Quote
chump Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 You need to go through the BUY section in bricks and pieces, not replacement parts. Thanks. Don't know how I mucked that up. That makes is much easier to get the bulk pieces I need. Quote
KCMatze Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Did anyone find something significantly new? Just looked and do not think so... Hoped for some new ones Quote
MAB Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Did anyone find something significantly new? Just looked and do not think so... Hoped for some new ones No, it often takes them a while to add replacement parts. There is often a delay between them appearing in sets and being available. Probably for good reason! Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 They took away all the heads from the Kwik-E-Mart. Wouldn't be such a big deal if Snake wasn't exclusive to that set. Thankfully the Maria Hill and Nick Fury torsos are still up. Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Got my order in! Hope I get it all in one delivery. Edited February 2, 2016 by amazingbricks Quote
