  1. I highly doubt they will rerelease it anytime soon. If I were you I would grab as many as you want since they can still be found relatively easily online.
  2. Hi everyone, I hope this topic is in the right place, if not sorry mods. Anyways, with the reveal of the Vidiyo bandmates I had the idea of recreating the graffiti present in set 60290 (with the drawing that inspired the Skater Shark minifigure, or viceversa) as a sticker. Why not, it looked cool. I redrew the graphic in PhotoShop, and then I ordered a few off of stickermule.com for a few euros. I think they turned out pretty cool, although the coral is not as bright as I would have liked. And sorry for the crappy lighting.
  3. Looks stunning in metallic silver, although I don't even want to imagine the cost of such an attempt. Good job!
  4. TBH I hope it's not that unpopular, considering the state of Ideas in recent years
  5. Well oh well, long story short I couldn't wait for the weekend and I built it in the spare hours I had in the last two days. I would wager it took about 5 hours + 2.5 hours spread over the last month to organize all the parts as they came in baggies, by shape. Gotta say it was 100% worth the time, as the build went almost smoother than regular sets with numbered bags. Let's address the elephant in the room: this thing is HUGE, which as a side effect means that I'll have no choice other than display it landed (at least I'll be able to recreate the imperial inspection scene, with two 2021 TIEs by its side). At first (and second, and third...) glance you would never guess that it has been BL'd together. Since I built it I know that there are a few slightly used parts here and there, the 25 2x2x3 white slopes are the newer version with solid studs and the UCS sticker is a reproduction. None of these things are a dealbreaker for me though. Looking back, almost 2 months and 8 BrickLink orders later, I have to say that this was well worth the effort. Thanks for tuning in everybody, it's been a blast!
  6. Today the last pieces I was missing came in! I hope to start building in the next few days. I’ll keep you posted.
  7. Thanks! it looks really great, I will consider it
  8. Sorry for the very late reply. I just placed my last BL order for this project. In total, including S&H I spent between 200 and 250 euro. Much cheaper than you can usually find used copies for. Added bonus: 99% of the parts where in new condition, so hopefully the whites will be as close as possible. I'll post again as soon as the final parts show up and I can finally start building.
  9. sorry. On a more relevant topic, 3x3 X-wing intakes and "BRICK 2X2, W/4.85 HOLE, NO. 1" are back in stock, at least here in Italy they've been unavailable for a bit. 6326483 6326478
  10. Lego has really laid on their laurels in the last few years, thinking that they would never have a serious competition. Now said competition is catching up fast and they really have to get up and start running to avoid their market share drastically lowering in the next decade.
  11. Order placed January 2nd still in warehouse
  12. I'm pleasantly surprised.. I hope it's 130. I'll get it eventually for sure
  13. It appears in the cart. but I cannot checkout because it opens a page saying that le link doesn't work, also, the total price of the order appears as 0.00. Yes, I tried to add a normal set along with the B&P order and nothing changes. I'll remove the existing order and file a new one Update: I had to log out, add stuff to cart, and log in again after that. It worked
  14. "Bricks and Pieces is currently unavailable for purchases, sorry for the inconvenience" UGH Seriously Lego?! 9 out of 10 times I try to give you money I'cant. You may have the best customer service but anything web-based that you do doesn't even work half of the times. Let's just hope the deer doesn't go out of stock for months again
  15. Time to resurrect this dead topic! I'm currently BL-ing the UCS Shuttle as well. I'm probably around 2/3 of the way trough parts-wise. Luckily I had quite a bit of parts already in my collection, and this morning I placed a decently large BL order with most of the technic beams and all of the curved arches for the sides of the hull, and other miscellaneous parts. All in all I'm expecting to spend around 180/200€ in total including S&H (excluding the stickers, that I might decide to get a reproduction instead). I'll keep you posted, if anyone is reading.
  16. Yep, here it is. hhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1s9mYFoddVuseKgOuiE9M7d3N2-bpNJhO/view?usp=sharing
  17. good eye, according to the online P&B next should be "bricks, slopes". Yep, just checked, the new dark turquoise 2x2 brick (available only in the 2021 family house so far) is up for sale
  18. For now, I see the bonsai trunks and the labradors, not much else. for example, the new tie fighter wing pieces are still 0.00 like most of the other 2021 parts... let's hope this is a regional launch and a quick one at that. I want to place one order with everything in... 1x3 outside arch etc... available for me as well (in Italy). do you see more pieces available than before? One more thing: @BrickWorld_PL 's list is no longer available... I happen to have a pdf screenshot if anyone needs it (hope it's legal lol)
  19. I just called customer service for a question on one of my orders so I also took the opportunity to ask about the new parts. She said that "it's the site updating for the new year" and they will become available in the future. Let's hope and wait.
  20. I was wondering... has anyone tried to call customer service to see if they can give us some info or dates for the missing 2021 parts?
  21. You can only insert set or individual parts numbers. Agree, very inefficient :/
  22. To be honest I'm "glad" I'm not the only one experiencing the 0.00 issue on all the new parts. I just place an order for most of the remaining parts from past years that I wanted to buy (65617 in LBG unavailable though) so that I can focus on just the 2021 parts when they (hopefully they do) become available.
  23. I'm very sorry if this has been asked previously, but why were red technic pins with balljoint used on the driving rods while there are black ones connecting the noses to the cab? If they were all black the wheels would have looked so much better... Of course I already modified mine but I'm still wondering why Lego didn't do it like this in the first place.
  24. Well, it's kind of weird that they don't share tracking info as they do with every other type of order... oh well, we'll see, might contact customer service later to ask
  25. Are you sure? The Italian site still says that B&P isn't trackable. I placed a B&P order this morning, so it's still in warehouse of course, but maybe they just haven't updated the website and the tracking info might be in the shipping confirmation email.
