Alpinemaps Posted April 3, 2016 At my local store, the slots for PAM are mixed in randomly for the slots for PAB. There's no order to it, and you can barely see the signs for the PAM. They don't really care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antp Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) You can fill PAB cups with PAM parts at every store I've been to (US based). As someone said previously, as long as you do not empty the bin of one of the PaM parts by taking multiple cups, I suppose they won't say anything I'm more surprised by the minifig parts posted by 'Speedboat', I thought they were more strict about that, that you had to take the right number of fig parts & accessories Edited April 3, 2016 by antp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedboat Posted April 3, 2016 I'm more surprised by the minifig parts posted by 'Speedboat', I thought they were more strict about that, that you had to take the right number of fig parts & accessories That's what I suspected. But I asked one of the employees and she said it was fine as long as I only took 15 pieces per box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodiziorobs Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) That's what I suspected. But I asked one of the employees and she said it was fine as long as I only took 15 pieces per box. This has been my experience as well; they don't really care what pieces you take, so long as it adds to 15, assuming 5 parts per fig: head, torso, legs + 2 accessories.

diaclonex Posted April 4, 2016 got a large cup the other day squeezed in about 60 2 x 6 bricks, 80 2 x 4 bricks. 80 1 x 2 bricks. 78 1 x 1 brick headlight, 80 white 1 x 2 grill pieces and 250 or so 1 x 1 trans clear plates. not bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prune Face Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I grabbed a picture of both of them today in Chicago. At my local store, the slots for PAM are mixed in randomly for the slots for PAB. There's no order to it, and you can barely see the signs for the PAM. They don't really care. As someone said previously, as long as you do not empty the bin of one of the PaM parts by taking multiple cups, I suppose they won't say anything At one of the stores I visit, I had an employee specifically mention to me that their store's limit was 3 cups each of any of the PaM parts, which I found to be quite generous, even though I didn't take that much.

Junior Shark Posted April 4, 2016 Man, those PaM parts are awesome. Good thing my Lego store doesn't care about the PaM parts- I cleared them of all the trans pieces in the last PaM plane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragonfire Posted April 4, 2016 Reporting back from the Glasgow Lego Store - the PaM pieces were treated as general PaB pieces. I got tons of the 1x1 round tiles, the trans-orange cheese slopes and the two types of plant pieces. As for BaM, they had some pretty interesting parts too. Red hoods, diving helmets, Series 4 werewolf hair with ears, Loki sceptres and large fire pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AFOLguy1970 Posted April 7, 2016 They are literally going to have to post someone right next to the PAB bins and make sure someone does not fill multiple cups with nothing but sand green parts. I would think those 1x2 plates, 1x4 plates, 1x1 bricks, the curved slopes and the tiles would especially be sought after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodiziorobs Posted April 7, 2016 ...any chance of that parts selection showing up at other stores? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antp Posted April 7, 2016 WOW, those sand green pieces. So jealous! indeed I wish these part could arrive in the PaB around here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis Posted April 7, 2016 I sent an email to Lego customer service. I felt it was justified since only one of these parts has been in more than 20 set (1x1 brick), the PLATE W. BOW 2X2X2/3 has only been in 4 sets, and the telescope and brick with 2 side studs have only been in a single set each. I encourage everyone to send them an email as well so we can hopefully get these pieces outside New York. They told me to go to Bricks and Pieces, but the 1x4 plate and brick with 2 side studs aren't available. The bow piece is also nearly 30 cents . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyro690 Posted April 7, 2016 Can you say lucky new yorkers? Not just the sand greens, the tan selection would be nice too! At my local (2 hours away) store, last 3 trips there only had 2x2 tiles and 4x6 plates in tan. Would like some tan 1xX bricks! :laugh: Whatever, I'm just glad I have a store this close to me considering I live in the sticks. I sent an email to Lego customer service.

I'm guessing there is a boat load on BrickLink and that other site now for a hefty price each. :thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior Shark Posted April 7, 2016 Can you say lucky new yorkers? Holy cannoli that's a lot of sand green! I'm calculating how many cups I would need to fill in order for my flight to New York to be viable.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sven F Posted April 7, 2016 I've never seen such an ugly model with such pretty pieces. There's also a fridge magnet with the cmf lady liberty for sale in NY. Must be a popular store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodiziorobs Posted April 8, 2016 I've never seen such an ugly model with such pretty pieces. While that seems to have been the case with most PAMs so far, it is especially true of this one. Definitely less than the sum of its (fantastic) parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbarnaby Posted April 8, 2016 I am surprised the Statue of Liberty passed as an official model. That does not look good, but I will chime in with the rest of how jealous I am to get some sand green elements in PaB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HawkLord Posted April 8, 2016 That statute of liberty is a wreck. I can't tell if the printed flats are supposed to be eyes or chest. Still... that sand green... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
