Bricks & Pieces down during the holidays?

[Terrasher]

Hey, everyone.

We're nearing the holidays, and I am thinking about beginning buying the individual bricks for a set. Will Bricks and Pieces be down for the holidays until February? It has had some downtime for months during the last few years, so will this year be the same?

People were saying it would be, but you'd better check with customer service to get the official answer of course!

I'm not sure, but does this not happen every year?

It seems no one actually knows, so check with the official company. Or just go on there one day and hope for the best?

It has closed down for inventory in previous years, so I don't see why this year would be any different. Although it is usually closed by now if memory serves.

I asked via customer service but they weren't sure, either  And yes, I do believe it is usually closed by this date.

I think it's a good thing if they don't close down, so this gives us the opportunity to order new pieces without waiting until FEB if they become available.
