I'm still waiting for my PAB & BnP orders from 5/31 that supposedly shipped within the first week. It's strange that some people already received their orders within a week of ordering & some of us are still waiting.

Still haven't received my parts order yet from June 1 which they say they shipped on June 4. Also so waiting on a small PAB order that supposedly shipped on June 8.

I like the Minions & plan to get a couple of the sets when the GWP goes live next week since the polybag hasn't shown up anywhere else near me yet. I also plan to get a couple of the accessory pack whenever they become available. The Brickheadz didn't do anything for me though. I did get the buildable set a while back when Walmart reduced the price online and I got Target to match it but never found them available at the lower clearance price. A few years back I got the Megabloks Minions Advent Calendar before Lego got the license but they just weren't the same quality even though it was a cute set. I'd much rather have some Minions than all the Super Mario junk.

Leak is in the usual place of a minifig accessory pack #40511.

Somebody on another site was also having issues with the flame pieces. I don't have the set yet but I encountered a similar issue with the Feather Plume for the Pirate in the 3-in-1 creator set. Both included plumes do not fit in tightly to the hole in the Pirate Captain's hat so I'm not sure what they changed. I haven't tried to fit in an older plume yet to figure if it's the hat or the plume that's at fault.

Yes , he has an Ideas project of the Casey Jr. Circus Train which needs animals for the circus. Also if I remember correctly he is trying to build Noah's Ark which also needs animals. He didn't mean they were being withheld for religious reasons just that he has to wait for them to be released to add to his builds.

Thank you!

Potterminifigpals said she would post the list of needed parts but I can't find it. Maybe someone better than me at navigating YouTube can find it.

My order from June 1 is showing on the Lego website as shipped also. I have another one that my credit card was charged for last week that says it shipped on 5/27. Usually I get the credit card notification & then I get a receipt e-mail from Lego later that day or the next but so far no receipts from Lego for either order. I'm thinking they changed something in their order processing procedure.

Like those two new Carnage & Venom masks aren't dark? Not to mention the upcoming Monkie Kid Bone Collector or the whole late Hidden Side theme and many others that we've already covered in the past. Hopefully we will eventually see some Deathly Hallows sets even if they only issue them as D2C and/or 18+. They've got to know by now that we want them.

Unless the other builds in the calendar are interesting it will be a pass for me. No interest in amassing the micro dolls. Guess I can download the instructions to replicate whatever interesting builds they put in.

Haven't gotten any of the new sets yet but if memory serves that is one of the smallish pieces they tend to put an extra in each set like they do with basic swords, utensils, small tools (paint brush, lipstick, microphone, hair bows, tiny crown, tiny party hats), 1x1's like the poop & cupcake swirl & various other 1x1 plates & tiles to name a few.

They don't seem to be making many parts in the dark trans blue these days. I think some of the parts that are appearing darker in pictures are using the trans blue opal color.

Love the Ice Palace. Shaping up to be a pretty expensive second half of the year as usual. But I'm still waiting for them to make Malificent's Fury.

Probably something new or upcoming because I've never seen it available before. I make it a habit to check the design number of most parts for other available color choices. There was no picture so I had to click for the description on the piece to see the color.

So my purchase plan is: 1 - Accessory pack which they didn't release yet. 2 - Will definitely be getting Hogsmeade, Chamber of Secrets, Polyjuice Mistake, First Flying Lesson. Most likely Polyjuice Mistake & Flying Lesson first. Want to get a discount or GWP for Hogmeade & Chamber so will impatiently wait a while but no later than the Black Friday deals. 3 - Advent Calendar at least one copy when it releases but hope to eventually get at a discount. FOMO requires I get one early in case they sell out but may wait to see if Walmart sells them cheaper upon release like they did last year. 4 - Chess set eventually, hoping Target will do an offer before end of year either discount or gift card with purchase. 5 - Fluffy will definitely wait for a sale. 6 - Fawkes - possibly if Target offers a discount. 7 - D2C depends on what it ends up actually being. Never - Brickheadz and Harry & Hermione figs.

I wanted a couple of the canoe. Got Phoebe's hair and also got it in brown. They had some animals but I think they've all been around a while. They had some of the body parts.

I need to make a list of the parts I want that were already out of stock like the sheep & the bigger lions. Got the lion cubs, a couple of the snake, a bunch of Harry Potter stuff including the Potion mug and a few pieces from the Friends Apartment set and a few other items. The price for the Red Raft from the Jungle sets is ridiculous so I skipped it.

Thank you for that. Placed my order for some and a bunch of other items including many of the torsos & legs & skirts & hair from some of the Harry potter sets and a bunch of other stuff from other new releases. Waiting on deals or GWP for the sets I want.

We may sometimes get new releases a few days early but we rarely get the really big discounts off rrp that other countries get. Some are lucky enough to find great clearance deals but those are few & far between and never on new releases. Eventually we may get up to 20% off on smaller sets but rarely on more expensive sets.

Ditto, I can wait on the HP sets. Hoping the Minions sets are still in stock when the Bob polybag GWP goes live toward the end of the month unless I find it for sale elsewhere before then. The Swing Ship Ride GWP is cute and a decent parts pack so will have to see what's in stock to meet the $85 minimum when that becomes available.

Received a parts order I placed back in April. Was missing one piece of a couple of parts that I ordered multiples of but there were extras of at least a half dozen other more expensive parts so I'm not going to bother making a call for the missing items. I'll just add them to my next order. I did mess up and only order one of two of the parts I needed multiples of so I will need to reorder those. I think I'll wait for the new sets to release in June to see if there are any new parts I want. Did manage to snag a few more Tan Horses & some Black Falcon Torsos & Shields as well as Butterbeer Mugs & a few other items earlier this week. So I'll be waiting on that order to come.

I love this set but my one complaint is that they only give us one Poly juice potion cup. Based on this I would rate the pieces a 9/10 rather than 10/10. I know the regular butter beer mug is a somewhat pricey piece but they could have given us at least 2 of them. One each for all three characters would have been awesome. I have my doubts that they will be available through B&P since we can't even purchase a darn pig.

Finally got to see pictures of the biggest Wildlife set. Had no idea that was where the White Lion was from. I could be happy with just this one but I may have to get the smaller Lion & Elephant ones two. Between those three I don't feel the need to get the monkey one as there are plenty of them in all the other sets.

I was expecting the accessory pack to be Quidditch robes but I'm very pleased with this Diagon Alley based set instead. I definitely plan to purchase more than one as I've already said. The Acid Pop & Potion jars as well as the brown owl & list make it worth getting multiples. I'd be surprised if any of those pieces ever become available through B&P so at least this is a way to get a few extras. As I said yesterday I plan to mix around some of the pieces of the other figs as well as other minifig parts to make some more generic witches & wizards. I do still hope that at some point we are given the ability to build Hufflepuff & Ravenclaw quidditch teams with an accessory pack of some sort. I hope they don't use another cmf series to do it though because I'd much rather see the limited slots go to other more requested figures. I fear at some point they will make a new quidditch set using Gryffindor & Slytherin again with a totally new torso design rather than using either existing Ravenclaw and/or Hufflepuff torsos. I have no desire to get minifig versions of any non-Hogwarts quidditch players and hope they never make any especially if it would be done using valuable cmf slots, to me they would be a total waste as I've no interest in trying to create more quidditch teams outside of Hogwarts.
