My receipt is also showing that I will receive 2 banners & 1 cape for each of the three separate items I ordered. I think if they are still available next time I place an order I may add a couple more, not too bad a price to get all three pieces.

I ordered one of each Banner, Flag & Cape also. Hoping I actually get 3 complete sets. Finally got the Knight torsos & Axe Shield but I missed the Male Villager torso. Saw it was available after I had placed my order. Will have to get that one next time and hopefully the Green Rain Hat from the Lighthouse, Sand Green Bamboo, the White Mini Hat for the Village woman and the Green Dess Lower part, and the Earth Green Leaf Plate. I also need to put together a list of which Football player heads I still need to order.

The trees are currently out of stock in the US. They have been for several days now.

Managed to snag the puppy, a couple of the shields and the Queen & Knight's legs & the Queen Torso, And the Female Peasant Green torso but missed the rest. I keep missing the Sand Green Bamboo piece. By the time I get an order together they are out of stock again.

Wishful thinking but maybe it's the Fairies Cottage with Briar Rose and Prince Philip so it wouldn't include Sleeping Beauty.

I saw one of the torsos (queen/princess) available but didn’t get an order put together before it went out of stock. I can't remember if any of the legs were still available when I first looked. Hopefully a restock will happen soon.

Mine is back to normal now also. Received notice that what I ordered the other day except for the PAB parts has shipped.

All my orders are showing the same also. Hope they get it fixed soon. At this point I'd be afraid to place an order for anything until it's corrected.

The Walmart I got the rest of my Series 24 figs from week before last has a bunch of the Series 23 figures out right now. No more series 24 yet.

I placed one. Trying to resist checking again to see if they added anything else. I missed out on the first wave with the torsos earlier today & just put an order in about an hour ago for some shields & other items. Some of the items I had added earlier in the day were already sold out including the Lighthouse Keeper's companion's rain hat, some hair pieces and a few other things.

Thank you. Maybe they are purposely adding stuff slowly so every can have a shot at getting at least some of the parts.

Gah! Can't a person even eat dinner? Half the shields are gone again already.

The printed capes don't bother me much either. The replacement capes are way too expensive to outfit an army of figures that don't have the printing on the back. So either way works for me.

A lot of the cloth pieces are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. I know the printing costs more but at some of the prices they charge for parts it's sometimes more worth it just to buy another full set, although probably not this particular one. They should at least give you more than one of each for those prices. I was surprised a while back when I ordered some Black & Brown basic capes that there were actually 3 capes sent in each pack, two black & one brown, so I ended up with way more than I was expecting. Ordered one of the way overpriced white ones more recently and there was only one, I guess because it was probably the Marvel one for Vision.

Thank you, I thought there was something off about that guy.

That's why I'm questioning whether a lot of these parts were even available at all this morning or just loaded into the system in expectation that they will be available soon. Considering they said 3-4 months for new parts I'm surprised the new Police parts are showing as they are from the January releases.

I would expect them to make three different six pack boxes and that the 36 pack box the stores get would have 2 complete sets rather than 3. I can't see them investing in new packaging just for this series when this will be the last series in the blind bags.

Was anyone able to actually order the parts from the new City Police set? I'm curious if some of these parts are currently showing as OOS are actually place holders because they expect to have them available to purchase soon. The parts for the police set shouldn't actually be available for a few months yet since it's a January release. Sorry I missed out on the Castle parts but at least I know to keep checking more frequently now.

I don't get why he's included either, not something I personally consider a good representation of the 100 year anniversary of the Walt Disney Company but then again I also don't get all the love for Coco either. But there are a lot of Baymax fans out there. Personally I'm a huge Stitch fan, I get that others aren't, but I would have preferred they included Lilo since we already have a Stitch minifig.

I'm bummed we still won't have a Lilo to go with Stitch. Hopefully since it's the 4 arm version with his ray guns he'll be wearing his orange space suit & have a green frog too. I was really hoping for a Lilo with her satchel & Scump. I have no interest in Baymax. I'll have to see the actual Coco figures to see if there are any parts I want. The rest seem like pretty solid choices. Sorcerer Mickey will be my second favorite followed by Oswald. I wish they had included Merida. So we still minifigure versions for Tangled, Brave, Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella, Snow White as well as at least a Lilo.

And the upcoming Quidditch themed Polybag $4.99 for us in the US. I don't know what the UK price is on those. We don't have any price points for the Dots sets yet but hopefully they won't be as pricey as the Mickey Mouse ones are. I hope they don't do any of those Patch ones. Not sure how well those are selling anywhere.

Harry Potter is the biggie for me but unfortunately for my wallet I collect from other themes also. There are a few Ideas sets coming I'm interested in as well as the new botanicals. I usually get some of the Creator sets, the Modular & Winter Village. Also some Friends & City, an occasional Star Wars set. I think Indy may be a biggie for me this year and depending on the LOTR set maybe that one too (both of those were originally out during some of my Dark Ages). There may also be a few Disney ones I go for this year. Fortunately, I don’t feel the need to be a completionist with any of them. And some sets I just end up grabbing interesting new parts off PAB if they become available.

The cost of all the 2022 sets in US $ was $1274.85 and according to my calculations for the British £ the same sets cost you about £1137.85 so only around £100 more for this years sets doesn't seem too bad. Of course those of us who aren't completionists fare somewhat better and if one hunts for deals it's even better. I managed to get most of the 2022 sets at a discount one way or another last year so I think I did fairly well. No Brickheadz, Hogwarts Express or Hungarian Horntail for me, saving even more. I did buy multiples of the Buildable Hogwarts polybag at regular retail but that was just $50 and both Magical trunks I bought were with discounts one before the price increase & the second one after but when I got the second one I paid less than the original price. As for the 2023 sets I will be skipping the Brickheadz. Iffy on the Knight bus. Will probably get Dobby and definitely Gringotts. Most likely I will most of the others but not if it's something buildable like the Horntail, Hedwig or Fawkes. If the Quidditch Trunk is like the Magical one was I'll probably get at least one if not two. I will be holding out for deals again this year, same as last year.

I'd buy it but with the Disney Tax it would probably be at least a $20 set.

The two 6-pack boxes I ordered from Lego gave me a complete set of 12. I had already gotten at least one of each from my visits to Barnes & Noble and Walmart the other day. A few doubles will be going back to Walmart since there are some figures I didn't want doubles of. So other than maybe another Falconer or two and another Spaceman I think I'm done with this series. I have to decide if I want to keep the third Orc and maybe grab one more Conservationist, Aristocrat and Carrot Guy.
