Historic Themes PAB Thread

[woodford86]

Seeing as the Black Falcon pieces can't seem to stay in stock for more than a few hours (legs are OOS already), and that Lego is supposed to be adding a lot of new pieces over the next while, I thought it'd be helpful to have a single PAB thread for castle/historic related pieces rather than having them get buried in random comments in the castle thread. Maybe I'm the only one who posts and this dies out, but oh well not all my ideas are good.

Reddish brown horses have been back in stock for a bit now and quite a bit cheaper than Bricklink prices (10509).

Greatswords also...I think they were out of stock for a long time (6295400/66964).

Mostly waiting for the flat silver and gold pointed visors, the outside bowed 1x4 and corner pieces from the castle, and maybe an elephant body

I like this as i don't remember to search for certain items.

[Poco Lypso]

Appreciate the thread! 

[SirBlake]

Great idea for a thread! This'll be handy.

[MAB]

Bear in mind there is regional variation. I don't think the reddish brown horses are available in the UK, for example. Although I loaded up some years ago when they were on the physical PAB wall in store.

Brown horses were available for order last week, but now sold out (Europe)

I'm thinking the problem with a thread like this is that while it allows people on this forum to know when useful things are available, it also provides a central location for scalpers to know what kinds of things the castle crowd is looking for and when they are available.  This could lead to even more parts becoming unavailable.

Though, it would be impossible for a scalper to buy all the parts we list here, it would still be real convenient location for scalpers to get this information.

^ I think 75% of scalpers are hard core fans, so hiding lists is not a priority to me.

Some of my favorites: https://www.lego.com/en-us/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=6335192%2C+6335631%2C+6335666%2C+6125711%2C+6037507%2C+6099581%2C+6227249%2C+6295400%2C+6280160%2C+6327807%2C+4611883%2C+6289361%2C+6268960%2C+6227901%2C+6327809%2C++6296951%2C+6331084%2C+6301362%2C6363145%2C+6343565%2C+6022359&page=1&includeOutOfStock=true

Very frustrating that the saddle doesn't show up on CAD/US PaB, I want a bunch.

I think the benefits outweigh the potential downsides.

Here's the list I have bookmarked. It includes all of the interesting elements from 10305 that haven't been published on Pick a Brick yet. Let me know if I missed anything.

are knights helmets available in LBG? I see white and Silver, but each time it does not give me an option to change colors (meaning when i click on silver it does not show me white is available)

It's listed, but sold out. The element ID is 4211827.

[Black Feather]

Was the horse actually available in reddish brown color.  I see it listed there out of stock on the US PAB.  Saw it before.  I assumed that was a mistake and it was supposed to be the dark orange horse which is not listed even as out of stock…  Ah.  Crap.  Now I see on Bricklink that the reddish brown horse was in a set this year:  Serious Play Identity and Landscape Kit {2022 Version).  2000430 

Never noticed that.  Odd they didn’t include with 10305 if it was available.  Also odd that it’s available and the dark orange horse that came out in January isn’t even listed.  At least something new to look at for now.

[iragm]

I have a script set up to send me an email alert when parts I am looking for come back in stock.  I'm going to post it here, this will be very helpful if you are tech savvy.

You will need Node Red set up, as well as a gmail account configured with an app password to send email alerts to yourself.

Import the json below into Node Red, configure the email node and the injection nodes.  You will need one injection node per query, there are several examples for you to copy and modify in the flow.  PM me or quote this post with questions and I'll do my best to help.

That’s very cool. Beyond my programming skills, but you’ve really taken the guess work out of it. I need to try to set this up. 

[Lion King]

Oooh, what a great idea to create this thread for PAB parts  from historic sets!

Like a female Viking headpiece from Creator 3-in-1 Viking ship, etc. 

[woodford86]

Does anyone have a trick to see what the parts without pictures are? Those descriptions are usually pretty useless

Paste the element ID into the Bricklink search.

[jodawill]

Does anyone know what it means when a standard PAB order is divided between two sets, "In Warehouse" and "Parts Order - Standard?" I have a few outstanding PAB orders right now, and it seems random whether individual parts are listed under each of those categories. Does that differentiate between which parts have been packed, or maybe which ones are in the US warehouse versus those that are in transit from Denmark? Or does it mean some parts were not available and will be canceled?

[woodford86]

FYI just noticed there's some fresh stock, BF lowers and shields, brown and tan horses, breastplates are available again

Bunch of new parts got added overnight. Nothing all that interesting for castle minifigs/animals, looks like the globe set got added among other stuff.

Nothing interesting?!

They finally added squirrels and saddles!
