Robianco Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 B&P is still not available after the Christmas shut down. Wait until it's back up and you can order as many of whatever they have in stock. Quote
MAB Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 So how do you order a quantity of a piece of more than what is in the kit? I.E. certain piece I need 8 of but only 2 came in a specific set so it only gives me the option to get 2. You cannot buy them at the moment. At the moment you can only get replacement parts, which are capped at the number in the set. B&P is still not available after the Christmas shut down. Wait until it's back up and you can order as many of whatever they have in stock. Limit is 200 per part, and 100 parts. Quote
Robianco Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Limit is 200 per part, and 100 parts. You'd have to be pushing it to test that limit though... except maybe on ordering small tiles but you'd just go to BL for that surely. Quote
MAB Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I've done a 4000 part order before, although most were regular parts not licensed. About 60 different parts. Quote
Boettner Builds Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I do hundreds of parts at a time. You REALLY need to check prices before ordering from B&P/PAB/BL! Some parts are WAY cheaper from B&P... Quote
large88 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 The end of januari, as stated on the website. There is no specific date available... Quote

fatsomania Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Since the beginning of December, Bricks and Pieces has not been available to purchase individual parts. They are still offering services for missing parts and broken parts, but now there isn't an option to buy any bricks. Is this permanent or is it a temporary thing that happens every year? I really like Bricks and Pieces for getting minifigures and other things, because Pick a Brick currently has a horrible minifigure selection. Does anyone know why it's not available? Quote
Boettner Builds Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 There's a little spot on the website that says it will be open in February. Quote
welfycat Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 When I spoke with customer service regarding a different issue, they said that they had closed bricks and pieces until their piece division got caught back up with all of the missing/broken piece issues from the holiday rush. Hopefully they'll be back up for purchasing in February. Quote
fatsomania Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Oh, that's good to know. Thanks. There's a little spot on the website that says it will be open in February. Do you know where it says that on the website? Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I sure hope it comes online soon, I need to get those rare bricks from a place cheaper than Bricklink! Quote
Andrzej777 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Oh, that's good to know. Thanks. Do you know where it says that on the website? https://wwwsecure.us.lego.com/en-us/service Bricks & Pieces Bricks & Pieces purchases won't be available between December 13 and the end of January. I hope it opens on Monday! Quote
fatsomania Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I'm glad it will be coming back soon. The last time I had checked it before, under "BUY BRICKS", it just showed Pick a Brick. And what also worried me was this in Q&A: I've lost a LEGO® part and want to buy a replacement. What should I do? Try Pick a Brick if you need lots of parts. It’s quick, it’s easy and offers great value for money. Currently, there are over 1500 different bricks in 45 categories to assist you with your custom building needs. You can search by type of element, color or browse all available elements. Pick A Brick is part of the LEGO Shop and VIP members earn VIP points for their Pick A Brick orders. When I read that it startled me that it didn't even mention Bricks & Pieces. It used to say something like try Pick a Brick if you need lots of parts for a good value of money. Then it said try Bricks and Pieces for rare parts or Duplo parts (or something like that). Good to know it's going back up soon. Edited January 30, 2016 by fatsomania Quote
Sven F Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Does anyone know what the shipping costs are for Pick A Brick online? (Europe) I know B&P are super cheap, but I might use PAB for some more common things, but if the shipping cost eats up the difference in price, I'll just wait for B&P Quote
MAB Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 You pay whatever your country's standard shipping costs are. It's free over a certain limit (£50 for UK) and can be combined with other items and help towards promos and VIP points. Quote
Sven F Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks, I meant PAB, not B&P, It's 6 eur under the threshold for sets, Because PAB orders ship from Billund and sets ship from the closest warehouse, I thought shipping rates might be different. Don't think I can find 50 pounds worth of useful bricks in the current pab selection. Quote

Don't think I can find 50 pounds worth of useful bricks in the current pab selection. pab orders are send from Poland whereas bap orders are sent from Billund and yes, I agree it becomes increasingly difficult to find those useful bricks - if pab had the same bricks as bap it would be dreamland, Quote
Junior Shark Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) As of today, February 1st, the "Buy Bricks" option is back online! (At least in the US). Edited February 1, 2016 by Junior Shark Quote
Junior Shark Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Bricks & Pieces' "Buy Bricks" option is back online as of today, February 1st. Please don't put all y'all's orders in before mine! Edit: D'oh! jangosolo beat me by that much. Edited February 1, 2016 by Junior Shark Quote
Gnac Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 The cost for four of those tyres has fallen by over ten quid! Yay economies of scale. Quote
