PAB Cups: What Did You Get?

[KringlesBricks]

^^^Yea...I guess I could've done that; but, I needed more containers for storing pieces in my collection. Those Lego cups are nice for storing pieces and to work out of when landscaping my layout.

When you think about it, those cups are a nice bonus when it comes to organizing your collection pieces.

Good point. The small cups are certainly easier to grab parts from when you're building.

Stopped by my store this afternoon. No cheese slopes other than clear. No more horses. Really not much of any interest. :-(

Question regarding online PaB: when a part is described as "not available" what does that mean for its future availability / how soon might it be back again?

[ItsaBRICKS]

Has anyone ever seen the 'brick'/masonry bricks on a PaB wall in any color? I have zero of these bricks and would rather get them off a PaB wall than make a huge Bricklink order.

At tthe opening of the lego store in Wijnegem (Belgium) there were these masonry bricks in light bluish grey. Sold out the same day tho..

Went to the Lego store today and got 1 Large Cup. Lots of little and rare parts!

Last picture is to show how many different parts. (1 of each)

Contents are:

All these random parts were in Wijnegem's pick-a-brick? I should go there again :)

It looks like they dumped there the rest of sets. I saw that in the store in Köln.

I went to Wijnegem store on the 2nd or 3rd day, and there weren't masonery bricks anymore indeed.

Those pieces are lovely indeed Ritsz, My store says they have to send all those type of pieces (from sets/mini builds etc) back to LEGO :(

It would be truly wonderful to have one bin be all the mixed odds and ends

[KringlesBricks]

So jealous!! You made out nice.

No, I went to the lego store in Oisterwijk. It's not an official lego store, but the owner made it look exactly like one. He does get all the exclusives from lego to sell, and same with the pab-wall.

Well thats exactly what this guy is doing, about half of the wall are official pab parts, and the other half are parts out of sets. There really can be any part in the bins.

They are sorted out by color, so you do have to search a lot in those bins. But if you got the time it's really enjoyable. I go straight to the bottom of the bins where all the small parts are

Indeed that's what I did in Köln :D It took me some time, but I found for example a few glasses for 1x2 windows, always useful.

If you're checking online LEGO.com, it could be they are sold out and are not producing any more of it. Do keep an eye on it, once in a while LEGO finds surplus sets and puts it back up for sale. They often get sold out quickly.

Light bley and not for ages. They were very hard to get because everyone wants some and often they clean out PAB wall. I want to get some for myself but my local store never had any in stock.

[brickbuilder711]

Aventura was short on PAB so much of the girly parts were scattered around the wall. They said that Sawgrass wasn't in much better shape.

I wound up with the following, dual purpose: to sample the colors and stock up on the Friends colors for Miami stuff, and most importantly, my Element construction.

Pink: 1x2 plate, 2x6 plate

Lavender: 2x4 plate

MdAzure: 2x4 plate

MdBlue: 1x1, 1x2 brick

MdStoneGrey: Most important part...... 1x3 brick

Sadly as I was on a rush, a huge space was left over on cup 2 but I'm okay with it, it's at most 50 1x2 plates worth and I went over the rim anyway as I usually do.

The wall also had: 2x2 brick in pink; dkpink, red,white flowers; and green, black, and brown 1x4 brick, etc.

I dont know where you live in the Netherlands? But Wijnegem isn't far off the border.. And you could go take a look at the store in Oisterwijk?

Yes I should have taken more of these and less of the other plates :)

Edit: Also, funny story. Had a couple come in as I was getting my cups and get over 30 cups. They took all the Light Gray Tile pieces I was hoping to pick up more of. They spent over $800 on pick a brick cups for a Lego competition.

Any way of sneaking minifig parts from the build-a-fig in it?

You can, but I consider it wrong because PaB is PaB and Bam is BaM. But that is just my opinion.

That is not allowed at all.

Yeah it's not allowed, but sometimes people don't listen and do it anyway.

Gurnee, IL in Gurnee Mills. They had some nice pieces but overall I was disappointed with the selection. Was hoping for some unique parts and plates.
