I need to get over to the Cardiff shop and see how things are going. 

Last time anyone was there (my sister popped in for me ) they were still doing pre-made figures and also packing PaB cups. I plan on visiting soon anyway.

Cardiff's PAB wall is back to normal, fill your own cups using scoops provided (instead of picking bricks up by hand). Their BAM is similar to others, where figures come pre-assembled - you have to ask the staff for the ones you want and they package them for you. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip! I'll certainly be visiting next trip. 

PIG! I managed to find pigs at the BAM at my local LEGOLAND Discovery Centre. A bit of a shame as they charge $13 per pack instead of $10 at the LEGO Store, but I'd not seen pigs and didn't want to miss out on them. I also asked an assumptive question about whether they allowed you to pick 15 pieces like at the regular LEGO Store, or if their rules were different. Better to try. Not sure if any of these legs are exclusive, but I like the brings on them.

Everyone has probably seen these already

More figures

That bear looks rather menacing instead of cute!

I agree, I hate that "headgear" mold they they still use from Panda. I wish bear would finally have some dedicated mold with cut face like used in Chinese new year mascot figures or in collectible figures series.
Like here for comparison:

Can anyone that have Magenta Bear show the head under the Bear Helmet?

Have not seen any of the Valentine/Easter grouping around here yet.  The only ones I've been able to get are the Cake Guy, Light Blue Prick Suit & Clown at the Disneyland Store.  Hoping to find the others this coming Saturday but the store I will be visiting is usually way behind in BAM parts.  I really want the Chicken Suit & Bear and the Butterfly wings.

I don't, but Brickfanatics posted this here: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-build-a-minifigure-characters-feb-22/

Haven't seen any of the new parts (like the birthday cake costume that I really want) in my local LEGO store here in Queensland yet :(

 

Went to the Boston, MA South Shore Plaza LEGO Store today and they had the pink bear, fairy, and chick suit figures. Said they'd arrived in today. So they are making their way into the US at last. Their current selection is:

Would be nice if they actually have them in the store I plan to visit tomorrow but they are usually way behind in getting the new minifig parts.  But I can still hope!

While we’re in a completely different area....but I went to the same store a month apart. First trip they didn’t have new parts, including the minifig you mentioned, but did the next. Have hope! It’s a very neat print. 

This part has made a pleasant comeback (Only ever seen before in "Series 17 (2017)" via my local store's BAM:

I haven't seen it before in BAM, I live in the UK.

Unfortunately no new BAM parts in the stores I visited yesterday.  The only newish parts I found were the Clown torso, torso & skirt for the Asian woman, Violinist torso, violin & the ice Skater torso & legs.  The one store removed all BAM parts from the tower & filled it with the old friends chocolate box polybag.  They had a few generic pre-built BAM 3 packs but nothing new .  The other store now has the Create your own Minifig set up but no one was using it.  Couldn't see if any of the newer parts were in there but they did have a lot of other better parts like the pink pool ring duck.

Forgot to mention, in my local store we can build our own again at long last!

New online BaM was up today momentarily but was taken down shortly therafter due to technical issues. Looked like fun to me, but I am not super familiar with BaM stations in-store so hard for me to evaluate if it was better/worse. Should be back up soon

Which country/region? US?

How was the selection available? Were the new releases there?

This was on the en-GB site, maybe the rest of Europe as well. Quantity was similar to the amount you see in store, with around 30 different items in each category (heads, torsos, legs, hair/hats, and accessories). Others would be a better judge of the parts themselves, personally a few stood out, new green knight torso and legs (same print as the CMF nightmare knight, but without arm printing and dual molded legs). A mermaid tail assembly, lobsters, a dbg cat. The price was £5.97 for 3 figs and £1.99 to add another one, apparently, there is a limit of 40. Worth noting that unlike in some stores, you can't have more than one accessory per figure slot (i.e substitute an accessory for a hairpiece). It looked pretty fun though. Hopefully, they will add more parts, but many still seemed to be available via PaB. We will have to wait and see if that changes as the online BaM improves.

I would expect they will get it back up soon
