Yeah same here. How much money does LEGO need to hire an IT staff? 

[RichardGoring]

Same for me. I'd better clear a lot of space, because when all these orders arrive, it's going to take a long time to unpack them all...

Hmmm... which one am I most excited to get (again)? Probably my PAB order with 1000x 32607 leaf pieces of various colours. Or maybe Ninjago City Gardens, so that it would force me into making a Ninjago MOC.

[MAB]

There are quite a few orders I'd like to receive again. Ones containing Saruman's skirt piece, Palantirs (that cost about 25p each), complete Ghostbusters figures that were under £1 each, microfigures from the LOTR and Batman games (they were 35p each!), loads of licensed torsos and heads.

[karrit]

All my orders are showing the same also.  Hope they get it fixed soon.  At this point I'd be afraid to place an order for anything until it's corrected.

[BacktoBricks]

Me too :( No more placing orders for me!

[BacktoBricks]

I have to wonder if they even know this is happening as it's been about 12 hours it would seem.

Yeah. A little more than that here… some people must be very busy trying to find a solution.

Oh yeah. So many things i’d live to get again.

Well I thought that, or thought they might even be doing it on purpose testing something or another, but now it's been a while and as they seem to have so many IT problems I'm just not sure.

At least they didn’t pull a southwest on us.

My orders are back to normal now. 

[teamzissou]

Available in US for $0.87

DESIGN ELEMENT 2X4X2, NO. 1Color Family: WhiteExact Color: TransparentCategory: MiscellaneousSub-category: Decoration ElementsElement ID: 6400144Design ID: 1942

Appears to be an interesting part (Frensel lens) to concentrate the light for the Lighthouse.  I have not built the Ideas Lighthouse and therefore cannot advise others as to what other parts are needed to accompany the part

[karrit]

Mine is back to normal now also.  Received notice that what I ordered the other day except for the PAB parts has shipped.

Well you need a light brick.  I should have bought one to play with.

Got a PAB order today I placed on Nov 14. It was missing parts. I looked on PAB and they are no longer listed on the site (even when the out-of-stock toggle is selected) I attempted calling customer support (US) but apparently they closed up 3 hours early. Wondering if anyone else is having issues calling in. . I purchased other parts to go along with the missing ones, after waiting over 2 months I’m kind of bummed about that. Not sure what they can/will do for me, if anything. Should I request they send me different parts? Guess I’ll find out, if I can get ahold of a live person when I attempt to call again tomorrow.

This happened to me, they completely forgot my forestmen shields.  All of them, I called them and told them how the entire quantity was missing and a month later a replacement came, out of stock or not they’ll send it.  

I wasn’t lying to them or cheating them at all but I was more pissed because the shipping receipt had the forestmen shield with the quantity I ordered but the bag had zero and they were out of stock on PAB so placing an order was not an option, I had to call them.  Be patient though they will come through.  
 

You can’t track replacement orders so it just magically showed up on my mailbox one day to my surprise

As eldiano said you will get them. Can you email them? I always found emailing to be easier.

I was surprised to see that its not a light brick. Instead its items below (and probably other items needed as well)

22168c01 Electric Light Unit Powered up Attachment  (also in Express Passenger Train)

21335stk02 reflective sticker 

I did order one Fresnel Lens to experiment with

[Maple]

I forgot it uses the train lights. 

The forestman shield is gone again. I keep forgetting to order that one. Also the minifigure head with vitiligo is also gone. One of my favorite figure heads.

Finaly made an order which had been in the basket before ‘standard’ was put on pause, thankfully it remembered everything I had selected even though I couldn’t see it. 

I got myself a pair of cows, they are expensive but the price is about the same on Bricklink, I checked to see first if the farm set was more economical to purchase on sale compared to the same animals etc from B&P but it wasn’t and I didn’t want the tractor and barn builds etc

The US Pick a Brick was available for ordering, but nothing was restocked during that period and orders weren't being fulfilled. I can't explain why the new parts dropped here first. If it was a mistake, they probably would have taken them down, but they're still available. But I'm sure they will have plenty of new stock to go around when they open up worldwide. You just have to be patient.

There's a lot of whining in this thread. Keep in mind there was a time when nothing like this was available at all. I would have killed to have a service like this in the '90s. It's not perfect, but with the exception of a few absurdly priced parts, we get pretty much everything we want eventually. If you want parts immediately, you have to go to Bricklink. This is just one of those things where you will get it eventually. You just have to think on a longer time scale. I've been waiting for these parts ever since 10305 and 10497 were rumored over a year ago. Waiting a couple extra months isn't a big deal. And we go through this every year. They always close or slow down PAB/B&P this time of year. And people always whine and moan when things go out of stock, but no one thanks Lego when those prices eventually come back in stock for over a week after demand settles.

Yes I know, I just need to use a promo-code within the next couple of days so it would be convenient if the Castle parts became available here really soon  I like the new limit of the most popular parts they have included should make it much easier to get the parts then for normal customers

The promo-codes are really stressful I must say so will probably only use them if there is something I really want in the future or i know I will make a order soon

I don't know where you are in the UK, but at least around these parts the farm set is reduced to £25 in B&M Store, but all of the animal parts can be bought on B&P for less than £20. So it depends whether the 4 x minifigures and all other Lego is worth a fiver to you I suppose.

The figures are selling for £1 on BL, which is great if you want to stock up on lime legs  (The male farmer does actually have a useful head and hair piece).

The build for that set is surprisingly decent build especially for a 4+ set. Definitely worth a fiver.

[Maple]

Meanwhile in the USA the farm set hasn't ever been on sale for less than $56, nearly twice as much. 

It's why I went to eBay years ago and bought some knock off cows, look exactly the same and got four for half the price one goes for on Pick a Brick.

Anyone in the US manage to get Lion Knight torso or legs AT ALL? Curious if I'm just missing them

Or "Steel hat" 30273 (I refer to them as kettle hats... wide brimmed medieval helm) from castle 10305?

Noticed that the visors (from 10305 castle) popped back into stock incredibly late at night on a Saturday but other items from castle seemed to stay out of stock unless they just sold out again incredibly fast and I missed it. Seemed like an odd time for those to pop back into stock

Also just today notice that the lions no longer show up at all (from retiring or retired WIldlife Rescue sets). Which is understandable. Hope everyone got what they needed from those.
