Eilif Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 That's right folks, There are new parts on PAB, I haven't had time to check all the sections, but the Naboo torso is up there... Check it out http://us.factory.lego.com/pab/?warning=fa...id=&shipto= Quote
FreeBee Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Also the starter models are updated, some nice models i must say. Here's a link to the brickshelf.(when moderated) Quote
Pickerel Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 This is great! My main part's resource (besides actual sets) is PAB. I would use bricklink but LEGO gives you nice, shiny parts as opposed to used ones. Nice starter models too! Quote
Monkfish44 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Thanks, I shall be placing my first PAB order :P Quote
Oky Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Naboo torso? Woohoo! Naboo pilot army here we come! They also have a silver grill plate... Ooh, and a Dr. Inferno henchmen torso! Very useful! They still don't have the minifig parts from the green grocer, though. I want that Umbridge hair! Edited September 20, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Erdbeereis Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 This is great! My main part's resource (besides actual sets) is PAB. I would use bricklink but LEGO gives you nice, shiny parts as opposed to used ones. Nice starter models too! Many Bricklink stores (at least the ones I order from) sell only brand-new parts. Great news! Quote
RichardAM Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 I haven't ordered from there for a while, so i'm seeing lots of new stuff. Shame they haven't added anymore dark red, though the minifig adds are nice! Quote
Monkfish44 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Ordered, my first ever online shopping of anything. I'm so proud Here's what I got http://flickr.com/photos/monkfish44/2872769729/ :D They do have some nice stuff in the shop, cheap too! Now I just have to wait >:) Quote
Eilif Posted September 20, 2008 Author Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Nice Selection Monkfish44, I also tend to stick with Minifig parts and certain special items when I shop PAB online. Most stuff there is a bit more expensive than BL, but they are almost unbeatable for the prices of thier minifig parts, and being able to order a bunch of some of the more odd pieces (fruit, iron gates, owls, etc) is awesome . The average minigfig assembled from PAB costs from $1.10 to $1.35! It's really a great deal. Edited September 21, 2008 by Eilif Quote

The average minigfig on BL costs from $1.10 to $1.35! It's really a great deal. Definately! I think they could use some castle helmets though, and maybe some spears and things. I was going to get some fruit and an owl, but I had a limited budget. Quote
VBBN Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Yes! Time to reinstall Digital designer. Quote

Mwahahaha, you have unleashed the buying power of Pickerel! Thanks for telling me that! Ordered, my first ever online shopping of anything.

I remember my first PAB order very well. Quote
brickzone Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 How do you get LDD to update with these new parts? They don't appear in the Factory palette for me, and some of the new starter models, if you select them it warns you won't be able to price check etc. cause they use non-Factory parts. Quote
Mirandir Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Nice! It seems like they're all there but some seems to be hard to find. E.g: that tan 1x6x5 panel seems to only be found by selecting "Yellow" in the "Color family" dropdown. Quote
Skinny Boy Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 How do you get LDD to update with these new parts?

Looks like Ireland is being stiffed again. They are all there in the PAB but nothing new in LDD. Quote
xenologer Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I definelty see new brinks on the website for PAB. But no updates to the actual LDD software, so I can't build with them just yet... Those EF drone arms will be nice to have.... Quote
Fluyt Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I hope those pilot torso's (including the brown hands I need) will drop in price/raise in quantity on BL. S@H charges too much shipping for the parts I need (if only they sold more castle torso's, helmets and shields...). Quote
DJ Force Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Wow! Did you notice that excellent Diners they have as a starter building? I LOVE this! Quote
Shoc Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 This is pretty great although they don't seem to be available in LDD, but I might order some pieces from Pick a Brick anyway. Wow! Did you notice that excellent Diners they have as a starter building? Do you have a screenshot? I'd like to see it. :skull: Quote
Eilif Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 I hope those pilot torso's (including the brown hands I need) will drop in price/raise in quantity on BL. S@H charges too much shipping for the parts I need (if only they sold more castle torso's, helmets and shields...). I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I've seen alot of minifig stuff on PAB that remains higher on BL. You will definatley see higher quanitities, but they will usually come from sellers that are buying on PAB and marking up to sell on Bricklink. On the plus side, the PAB minifig prices are really cheap (naboo torso sells for $2.50 on BL and s $.54 on PAB), and since they are always available in quanitity, you can wait until you need alot from PAB and buy all at once.

xenologer Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Well, It looks like I can now Check Price on LDD items that use the new Custom Cars pieces! However .... I can't actually view them unless I tell LDD to filter by boxes and specify Custom Cars. This is annoying because I would Like to be able to view both Normal Factory and Custom Cars pieces at the same time. It would seem the Normal Factory palette has not been updated to include the CC set.... Ambassador comment? Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) That's right folks, There are new parts on PAB, I haven't had time to check all the sections, but the Naboo torso is up there... Check it out http://us.factory.lego.com/pab/?warning=fa...id=&shipto= Thank you very much for this information, Eilif! To me these new parts are mostly not very interesting because I don't plan to desgin my own custom cars - but nevertheless they surely are useful for other LDD MOCs, too. Btw: Here nearly the same question like xenologer: Since I don't buy this 10200 Custom Cars set with a CD of LDD: Do you know whether the new PAB bricks are only possible to use when you own this CD or have these bricks not already been added to LDD? (I already opened LDD before and there were no new bricks althought I linked my computer to the internet.) Klaus-Dieter Edited September 28, 2008 by Klaus-Dieter Quote
