[The Reader]

The torso from the swimmer from the BAM Q3/2024 series could be used for a pirate or a modern islander.

Looks good, a rather versatile piece. I be hoping for a new light nougat version too.

Could this torso fit the theme? A merchant maybe?

The DnD CMF bard has a useful torso print.

I think it‘s a great but underrated torso. I use it for my sigfig/avatar.

These are interesting—they're from the "smart brick"-compatible City Jungle sets that are currently being trialed for a limited audience in the UK. So they're not broadly available to consumers yet. I'll be interested to see if orders for these go through, or if they were uploaded in error and orders including them will be cancelled.

I read that the new crocodiles were already available at the Günzburg Legoland Factory.

There is also a new mineral piece available in different colors. In pictures it looks like it glows, but that is maybe just artwork.

It's the same geode piece that has appeared in more naturalistic colors (with a translucent "core") in past space and mining themes! It doesn't actually glow—the effects around it in the artwork are to highlight it as a distinctly colored object the smart brick can "scan".

Those recolors are very fun (and arguably the most exciting thing to me about this new batch of parts), but I didn't mention them since I figured their bright colors would be less suited to Pirates builds even as treasure.

The new Wreath from the Botanical Collection was revealed today and includes a plethora of potentially useful foliage pieces for Pirates builders, including the classic small palm leaf in Sand Green (and Earth Green, which isn't new but is still useful) and the smoother leaf from the Donkey Kong and Dreamzzz sets in both Olive Green and Earth Green. New Elementary goes over all the new parts they've spotted in their article: https://www.newelementary.com/2024/08/pre-order-available-10340-wreath-and.html

Seeing the pictures reminds me that i want to order some of the banana leaf pieces.

I'm still waiting for the bush and finger leaf to come back in dark tan, so i can upgrade my palm trees.

I was gonna order some black Armada helmets today off PAB, but unfortunately they were removed in the monthly rollover. The really sad bit is, they were much cheaper than Bricklink too!  This just shows me to to buy first, think about it what I'm using it for later!

Side note: Until the 10th of September, there are 2x VIP points on the HP Durmstrang ship (set 76440), for those interested. This means if you buy the two needed to make @Wurger49's amazing Rebrickable MOC, you'd get 3640 points instead of 1820 you'd regularly get by buying two sets. That's $25+ off another purchase in points!

...Just saying for those who want to know. Personally, I can't afford two sets, but I did get one.

Thank you for the notice, still don't understand LEGO restricted the sales of this set. In Australia, not available inside discount department stores.

Where they part of the around 4000 old parts that suddenly popped up on PAB, if so you could not buy them. However it was really interesting to see the prices..

Nope, it was there for a while.... maybe a few months.

Do you mean this one? Design ID 30048. Production ended 10 years ago. Is there a newer one?

I swear that that part was on PAB up until recently. Maybe it was part of that old-part batch, I don't know?
