There are 14 torso variants without back printing however you only mention 4 of them as being part of BAM

one of them the barista torso I remember getting in the BAM without back printing, are these mistakes or are they from BAM? (2 of them are used twice the orange one and the one with palm trees)

Thank you for this information. I have no way of knowing whether a given element has back printing or not, but especially in 2018, it seems reasonable to assume that all of these were variants without back printing released via BAM. This information will be incorporated into the site with the next update. Curiously, the palm tree shirt and construction hoodie both appear twice, but the second appearances have different Element IDs. It seems reasonable to assume that the later versions restored the back printing.

@wadapan , in the 2017-2019 Q's lists, I see a baseball bat 6221020 that's all white.  I can't find an all-white baseball bat.

That's just how LEGO displays that part in official renders. It'll actually be the standard painted variation seen in CMF. You can tell because the name specifies "No. 1", which is a designation for prints/paint applications. I'll make a note clarifying that, again in the next update.

Thanks all!

In the CMF the bat was used in 2 colors , Medium Nougat and Dark Orange. I believe the one used in the BAM was the Medium Nougat

A few more questions on some parts:

Indian torso 2018 Q1 should it be Variant 973pb4059c01?

Legs 2019 Q1 says sand green but shows regular green is that right?

legs 2017 Q1 says Dark green but shows regular green is that right?

Pirate Head 2018 Q4 Should it be Variant 3626pb3104 with eyelashes?

[bob21115]

Is this maybe one of the missing torsos for 2018 Q3

Is the normal baseball bat printed or dual molded? If the former, then white ones might exist as Q elements due to bats with white handles being all white before other colors like medium nougat are applied to the length of the bat as a secondary process.

Looking at the ones I have they appear to be dual molded

I think you may be right as I remember seeing and getting one of those legs there, but the ones I got could have been left over from something and tosted in, however I have seen this picture before and would lean to that it was a part of the BAM mix

The Indian torso, almost certainly, so I've swapped it in the next update. The Dark Green color mixup is a result of LEGO/BrickLink terminology confusion: LEGO's "Earth Green" is BrickLink's "Dark Green", while LEGO's "Dark Green" is what we'd view as regular green. See this website for information. However, the Sand Green one is confusing! The image comes straight from the official inventory, so there should be no confusion there, but you're right that it being described as Sand Green is odd. The name of the part, "MINI BODY UNDER PART GRE", is also strange and unhelpful. I have no explanation for what's going on there. Finally, 3626pb3104 is tricky. Head 1557 in official sets and inventories definitely appears to be the version without eyelashes. Either the eyelash version is categorised under the same name, or it's a different element with its own name, meaning it could be one of the heads unaccounted for from 2019. BrickLink claims the head was from 2019, but we know that might not be reliable. I've made a note for the next update.

Yep, absolutely. Will add this next update.

I had assumed they were printed/painted, the bat I remember having a sort of glossy feel. Have nothing to back this up though. I feel like all-white Q elements could exist but that's by-the-by with respect to BAM.

Anyway, I'm conscious that this discussion of older elements has gone on for a couple of pages now, and we've really been getting into the weeds with it, so if I can make a request: please send future questions and corrections to me via DM, so that hopefully this thread can get back on-topic. Thanks all!

@wadapan Sorry, since I'm new, I can't IM yet.

2018 Q2 Missing Med Azure Torso.  Just like the jersey, I found this in this old EuroBrick Post

New 1st April BAM: Source

New sunflower lanyard kid torso

Koala rescue torso

New Firefighter torso which oddly doesn't fit in with the modern City theme.

Reintroduction of the metallic silver classic firefighter helmet

I thought the race car driver torso might be reused for Stuntz and the balaclava head might be from Speed Champions or the F1 theme but that doesn't seem to be the case after a quick check. 

And obviously the reintroduction of the S24 CMF Koala and reuse of the arctic pup.

Good job. I thought that was the torso but couldn't find the reference I saw it in, which was likely the post you linked to

Hmm, weird! This is the first time I've ever seen a wave of just four minifigures be advertised. My only prediction is that there's going to be a themed trio of three minifigures also dropping in April, completing the usual wave of 7, which has simply been withheld for a later reveal...?

As an aside, we're reaching the end of the 409XX number range, so it's quite possible that BAM is going to be occupying another block of set numbers going forward. Will need to wait to see how seasonal/promotional sets are getting numbered during the rest of the year.

Thanks! Already mentioned on the site. We can't say for sure which of the two white torsos it is, though my money's on NO. 3814.

Has it not been 3-4 only every wave this year?
The Easter one was 3 I believe 

[karrit]

There were 7 figs in the Ninjago wave for January.  I like that they are doing smaller monthly releases instead of just quarterly.

[Lion King]

How could hurt keep up wiht BAM fi it’s monthly rather than quarterly?

Hi,

According to a previous post from July 2019, the 2019 Q1 black slope 65 2 x 2 x 2 with Bottom Tube with Minifigure Dress is most likely to be https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb053

rather than the same black slop from 2018 Q2 (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3678bpb020).

 

Another post from August 2019 can help to identify "6255074 / 49718: DARK STONE GREY MINI LOWER PART, NO. 1657", which could be https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c00pb0586

Thanks! This information will be incorporated into the next update. Absolutely right on the Alien Villainess dress, the legs I think there's still a bit of ambiguity over, but almost certainly right.

In other news, I have done some digging on that upcoming April wave. The set number is 40933-40937 and I can confirm that it is indeed just the four minifigures! This is unprecedented in known BAM history. Presumably they are indeed switching to more regular releases of smaller quantities, though I expect the overall number of minifigures will probably remain steady.

Sadly, AG Certified Stores still have not restored their build-a-minifigure product listing—presumably it has just been discontinued. Shame that I won't be able to get those nice consistent photos going forward!

[Clone OPatra]

I just went to the certified store in the Sydney CBD. Their BAM stand was an absolute shambles, so many torsos missing limbs, and next to no accessories at all.

However, they had a bunch of new/newish hairpieces including:

The green bandana plus hair, orange hair and Monkey's hair from One Piece

The white headmistress hair from Wicked

The red version of the long Glinda hair

Dark orange thick hair from Star Trek

Teal spaceman helmets

Some of those are pricey on PaB so I didn't feel too bad paying the $20 BAM price here.

Saw this in a post from May of 2018.  The White Ninjago Torso, bottom left.  Wondering if it's the second missing white torso from 2018 Q2

You cannot really tell much from a one off photo from one location. There are a huge amount of CMF parts from many series across multiple years (at least as early as series 2 and at least as late as series 11) in that bin, so presumably the store was getting rid of lots of random parts it had lying around. Anything could have been chucked in there.

Hi everyone, I think I may have found a strong candidate for the missing BAM part

6222464 / 88585: WHITE MINI UPPER PART NO. 614

My reasoning is:

Brickset lists “MINI UPPER PART NO. 614” as a real white LEGO part, with Element ID 4168962 and Design ID 73403, and shows it in older Island Xtreme Stunts sets such as 6733 Snap’s Cruiser. BrickLink then catalogs Snap’s printed torso as 973pb0089c01.

So, at the moment, my best candidate for BAM WHITE MINI UPPER PART NO. 614 is:

check here: https://brickset.com/inventories/6733-1 last entry.

973pb0089c01

I am not claiming this is 100% confirmed yet, but it looks like the strongest public match I have found so far. If anyone has a direct LEGO/BrickLink cross-reference for “NO. 614”, that would be great to confirm it fully.

Hope this helps, and please correct me if anyone has a better match.
