Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 12, 2005 Great news! However, I'm still confused about some aspects of this: 1. How many pieces can a set have? 2. How many pieces of each element can be in each set? 3. How long will the process take, since the pieces might be varied? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericbrok Posted July 12, 2005 Great news! However, I'm still confused about some aspects of this:1. How many pieces can a set have? 2. How many pieces of each element can be in each set? 3. How long will the process take, since the pieces might be varied? I don't know those details; we'll have to wait for august. Personallly I would expect a palette similar to the contest, but that's speculation on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snefroe Posted July 14, 2005 I suppose the answer now is, try to design something containing the parts that you want (subject to availability of course).The main problem now is, what parts will be available ? well i got the designer program and there is indeed a reference to pabs and ordering bricks, so this news makes some sense to me now... however, the list of parts is really limited and not particular what i was hoping for...

LegoBMW Posted July 14, 2005 OMG I really really want mini figs. My friend and i play WARHAMMER with our lego armies. *wub* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 14, 2005 I really don't think there are going to be minifigures. You see, on the first couple of pages, it was believed to for LEGO to provide a online "bulk order" service. But later, that was confirmed to be a rumor. Now, it is believed that on August 1st, there would be a similar service, but with a limited amount/selection of bricks. This is why I think the minifigure ordering won't be available.

Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 19, 2005 If this is true, that makes it twice as better! I really do hope that this is true. The details may be vague, but if it works out, then I'm speechless! :oD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Packrat Posted July 19, 2005 http://shop.lego.com/Factory/ they added a little something about it on their web site today bottom of page Experience LEGO Factory Today! Use the LEGO Factory website and Digital Designer to create your own incredible models! Then, coming in August to North America, you'll be able to order the bricks and elements to build your custom LEGO Factory creations in the real world - just like the Factory sets shown here! so i guess it will be only the color/element that is available to the Digital Designer that can be ordered V1.4 is coming soon the web site says, I sure hope they add minifig elements in the new version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 19, 2005 Yes, I have noticed that...but there is still nothing on their site about the seperate parts service... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mini Posted July 19, 2005 Seems the US are getting the Lego Factory first. Whilst on the US site it says coming in august, in Europe it says 'next year'. :( Use the LEGO Factory website and Digital Designer to create your own incredible models! Then, coming next year, you'll be able to order the bricks and elements to build your custom LEGO Factory creations in the real world - just like the Factory sets shown here!

The Middleman Posted July 26, 2005 News, thanks to Ras74: - You can buy anything, so long as it's in stock - They're not sure if it'll be operational by Aug. 1st - No licensed minifigures will be available - They will use the same part numbers as Peeron - Price will apparently be according to size; there was a test run in Germany, a friend of Ras's got one of the quarter-disc pieces from the old Falcon for $2 or $3 Maybe more to come. This sounds fantastic! The Vikings are mine....... allllllll mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 26, 2005 "Anything, as long as it is in stock."? Does this mean the pieces before 2000 or eariler, or does it only apply to pieces on or after 2000? Also, even if it isn't going to be operational by August 1st, then I hope it will be worked out by the end of August (before I go back to school), because I have a big project I'm itching to finish! Thanks for the info, Ras 74 and Bloody Jay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted July 26, 2005 Well, they had the old Millennium Falcon parts, so I'm guessing it goes back pretty far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ras 74 Posted July 26, 2005 Anything, as long as they have it in stock. It meens EVERYTHING! So I don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 26, 2005 Yes, but according to Peeron, that set (and piece) was produced in 2000... EDIT: Thanks for the reassurance Ras 74! ;) I can't wait!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuvieD Posted July 26, 2005 Do you mean this? That is no great price $2 or $3. Not that I looked up what it cost on bricklink or anything but I would not want to pay those types of prices for just one part unless it was a really great part. I wonder what types of cost simple parts will have. Will the color make a difference or is it all based on weight? What a dilema. So many questions. I guess we wil have to wait and see what LEGO does with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ras 74 Posted July 26, 2005 That is the piece SuvieD. I think the price will depend on how big it is. And also the shipping cost. I think it was included in that price as well. Anytime Yoda, anytime!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
