Anyone know where Bricks & Pieces orders for Australia get sent from?

Sent a message via the "email us" form but I suspect I will get a response that says "we can't track Bricks & Pieces orders" or "its still within the accepted delivery window" (or both)

The easter selection (bunny, flower etc) is available in the Queensland LEGO stores.

Still no sign of my B&P order that was shipped on the 29th (despite the shipping email saying "shipped in the next 5-8 business days". At what point do I Customer Service about it?

Some pictures would be great just to see how you did it and whether you did something different that makes more sense.

Managed to figure something out that seems to work and hold all the pieces in place.

The shuttle has no chance (they specifically list the Space Shuttle as something that's ruled out due to the Women of NASA set) I am not convinced Winnie the Pooh will win (especially given how important China is to LEGO) The Office is probably not happening given the previously mentioned license stuff. NASA spacecraft doesn't seem likely (they have already done many NASA sets including the recently released International Space Station) Best chance IMO would be the Thunderbirds set (assuming they can work out the license), Pursuit of Flight and the Anatomini.

Other than The Pirate Bay ideas set I haven't heard anything about any pirate products comming this year.

Ordered 22 January, shipped 29 January, still not here yet. But its comming all the way to Australia so I am not yet worried...

@julesvincent I am attempting to re-create your Woolworths building but so far have been unable to figure out the supporting structure that holds everything together. Do you have anything (tips, photos, information, notes on what parts I need or anything else) that mighr help me figure out how it works inside?

Here in Australia the Truck Takedown is $60 which isn't exactly what I would call cheap... :)

I want to see characters (heroes especially) that we haven't seen in sets before (or that haven't been in sets in ages). And preferably in sets that aren't super-expensive (I still dont own a Hawkeye because he hasn't been in any sets that are cheap enough for me to add him to the collection)

Is anyone else having problems getting the "display pictures on the order summary screen" javascript thing to work?

My god it must have been expensive to buy all those bulldogs... :)

For all we know one of those is the piano and one is Sesame Street.

Its possible the $200 is for Sesame Street (which has a license and a lot of new printed elements/recolors involved) Although given the size/complexity of The Pirate Bay vs the size of the fishing store (which cost $150), $200 isn't out of place for The Pirate Bay either The $350 price tag being for the piano absolutely makes sense given both the large size and whatever they have done to make it "playable"

The black hat guy comes from the police helicopter chase set (with the new magnet elements)

Anyone here know what sort of shipping times have been seen as of late for shipments to Australia?

Anyone know if the shopping trolley can work with minifigs or if its only compatible with minidolls?

Still waiting for my order although it only shipped on the 29th. Hopefully it arrives soon...

I want more buildings and locations and less vehicles in the Marvel sets. Sets like the Spider-Man Daily Bugle set (with the big screens of Jameson) or the Rhino and Sandman set with the construction site and crane or the suspension bridge set or that hall of armor from last year (a set I still have yet to obtain due to the high price here in Australia)

I mean figs like the bad guys (mummies etc) in the Pharaoh's Quest sets. I have wanted to try a Stargate MOC for a while now but getting the right kind of Egyptian guys to pull it off is too expensive.

+1 for a reboot of something like Pharaoh's Quest (if only because it would make it possible to get some Egyptian guys without paying obscene prices on Bricklink)

A true Ice Planet reboot would be an instant buy no matter what the price, IMO Ice Planet was the best Space theme ever.

The new clear parts from the soccer stadium are available on B&P (there is a large windscreen piece and also a clear version of an existing curved piece) The special parts like the printed field tiles and the printed goal parts are not available however.
