Is hair piece 25409 just not on B&P at all? Strange! Seemed an unassuming and normal part, but it's not listed on B&P at all, let alone available to buy.

Earlier in the thread someone linked this list of new parts for September 2020; the site doesn't have any sidebars or whatever for choosing other months, though: https://wind-broken-weed.000webhostapp.com/news/01Sept2020.html I tried replacing sept with oct in the URL and to no avail; where does one find the more-current latest-parts lists?

What's going on with the 2020 summer Ninjago orcs, Moe and Murt? Every time I've checked, Moe's price has been significantly higher, despite him containing strictly fewer pieces. What gives? This is an opportunity for arbitrage; for someone to just buy a bunch of Murt, remove a piece and sell it separately(!) and then sell the fig for more.

So how many of you have ordered ship hull parts? Surely we're entering a golden age of custom ships, at least the sort based on the standard giant hull parts...

@Rockstaremcee the only six mispriced gold parts I know about are 6294504, 6294514, 6294526, 6294545, 6294551 and 6265601. If there are more I would like to know.

You know, I probably should have checked whether 64645 could stack on itself to create taller hull fronts, before I ordered so many... About twice as many as I can use. So that means... I ought to order more of 64651, and have these boats be more symmetrical... Anyway, you guys like really grainy phone photos, right? 1x2 tiles, 1x1 tiles, 1x1 round tiles, 1x1 plates, dark brown cheese slopes, 1x1 quarter-round tiles, some of that minifig armor, some of Wyldstyle's hood, messenger bags in medium nougat, that translucent splotch is some of 65578 (that new angled handle piece)... And on the bottom right it's 41677, those 1x2 thin Technic liftarms, which will be useful for building various small joints... And, well, as you can see, a bunch of boat hull parts, including more than twice as many front risers as I can use. Not pictured: The boat hull front bottom thingies, which I ordered five of on BrickLink as they were cheaper there, but, it seems I'll need six more to go with these eleven front risers!

Giant boat hull parts got here; will do a loot shot of the latest batch and some choice bits from previous batches that I didn't photograph. Boat middles are still in stock on B&P; the front riser part is out of stock. Front bottom part is in stock but is still cheaper on BL. No idea what to do about sails; might just build various airships that don't have sails or something. Or it's possible one can call in and backorder sails at some point; whatever.

When I saw this year's summer Ninjago sets + Barracuda Bay + the Creator pirate ship, and thought about last summer's Ninjago sets that I still wanted to get, I thought "dammit I'm going to spend way too much on sets this year". Then... I discovered B&P, and I'm pretty sure I've spent more on B&P than I would have on all those sets! Agh! But... Man this custom ship I'm building is gonna be so sick.

So wait, if the actual Mario-bearing set is constantly out of stock... That's a good omen for the theme. It means there IS this high demand, and Lego's failing to meet it. (Either by underestimating the demand for Mario himself, or by COVID-related manufacturing disruption...)

The one Mario-specific part I wanted was the flag with the Bowser logo... And that one never made it on there, as far as I can tell. (Well, I guess if the printed parts for Bowser himself had made it on there, I'd have ordered some of those too.) Which tubes do you mean? The main pipe from the starter course? Man that one will be in high demand for years, won't it...

Weird stuff happening now on B&P... Try 54577, one of the mispriced gold parts. It lets me put one in my cart, but then the number selector only lets me choose "1". Click "add to cart" again and it says "Brick quantity limit reached" and underneath it "Quantity for the selected part exceeds the quantity in this set." Very strange messages!

Man it's about time I called again and asked about the Ninjago orcs once more... When either they go on B&P, or they're on BL for significantly less than $3 each, I'm getting at least a dozen.

The image seems to be broken?

All three big boat hull parts are available in reddish brown right now; get 'em while they're hot. Boat hull front (sometimes cheaper on BrickLink though): Design ID 64651 Element ID in reddish brown 6317943 Boat hull front riser (significantly expensive on BL): Design ID 14740 Design ID 6310953 Boat hull middle (very expensive on BL): Design ID 95227 Element ID in reddish brown 6310954 The "standard" configuration of ships like The Brick Bounty is 1x hull front, 1x riser, 3x hull middle. Barracuda Bay has 4x hull middle. Brickbeard's Bounty used a mere 2x hull middle but one hull front on each end. Black Seas Barracuda used 3x hull middle but also a specialized stern piece, so more similar to Barracuda Bay.

Alright so, part 95227, the giant boat hull middle part. It's listed on B&P. It's even in stock, in white! For obvious reasons, I want to buy some 6085211, which is in reddish brown. It's listed on there! But it's listed as out of stock; I haven't been checking religiously but I haven't seen it in stock ever. (I think months ago when I checked, the reddish brown version might not have been listed at all, even?) Have you guys ever seen it in stock? Guess I'll try calling again at some point and ask for just that... Ask if I can backorder it. Though thus far I haven't had any success asking for backorders.

Yes, I was mostly not serious... But, I do like the thought of Giga Peach, being taller than Bowser! But yeah, your Peach design is great; just add one print and it's already good enough for me.

That Peach looks very good. With JUST a face print she'd be excellent. However, I have one objection... She should be twice as tall as Mario!

Try this website: https://nostalgic-wilson-b2026b.netlify.app/index.html It lets you sort available B&P stuff by color or category; if you look within a category it'll sort by color. So if you go to "minifig heads" then it will show you the ones available in each color. It's not 100% synced to what's in stock on B&P at any given moment but it's close.

Don't give us playable Luigi; give us playable Peach!

I'm planning to buy this set when it comes out in the States, from Lego's website. (Why don't they offer online preorders?) What I want to know is, what time of day is it likely to be up on the site on Sep. 1? And is it likely to sell out super quickly?

My order from 10 July still says in warehouse; I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think they're just slow these days. My order from June 20 got here... I forget when, sometime in late July. I mean I'm fine with slow service/shipping in general, but I'll cut them even more slack when their workforce is significantly disrupted.

This part is available in yellow; I don't know what set it's in in this color, because Brickset doesn't list its element ID yet:

No idea why the phone number was supposedly needed; the package got here today (significantly sooner than I thought it would), and I never got a call about it or anything. Whatever.

Hmm, yeah, looks like it.

How are those two floating orange tiles attached? I can't tell what part that is under them.
