| You have 3 lots in your store that are BLY you could compare it with those.
Just go to your inventory, and choose by color, then Bright light yellow or just
click

I bought one from a seller here, and when I was going to order one more, it went
out of stock with the seller. He states that he got it from a shipment from a
Legoland in Florida. Don't know how to verify it though???

I think it is currently out of stock from any seller (?)
But why is it now gone on the list of colors for this part?

| To Me Lego is a beautiful collection of plastic bricks. These bricks can be made
into hundreds, millions and even billions of things.
Lego can come as a set with instructions. A group of pieces to build anything.
Maybe even a character from Muppets or Looney Tunes.
I have been building Lego for years and it has helped me with everything. When
I'm down or annoyed I like to sit down at my Lego table and build away.
Some of my MOC projects can least a few weeks (Lego Minecraft Ghast MOC). And
others can only take a few days, (Lego Christmas Tree Ornaments).
I just love to sit down at the end of a long day and build something with Lego.
I love going onto YouTube and seeing some cool new Lego Set Leaks. I am hyped
everyday because I know that there will always be something cool on the Bricklink
Forums or something on The Brothers Brick.
I can't explain how much Lego has helped me over the years. And as I know
hundreds of people around me also share my love of Lego.
As the years have gone by Lego has changed so much. They have gone from basic
sets like Lego Police Patrol Car (Set #600) to beautiful masterpieces like the
Lego Vintage Typewriter (Set #21327).
I have grown up with Lego around me for the past 10 years. Even as a young kid
I played with Duplo.
I thank Lego for its HUGE role in my life and the amount of happiness it has
brought me.
What do you think Lego is? What does the plastic brick mean to you?

Exactly. The word prototype is being used to make out these are parts made by
LEGO for testing and on some rare occasions manage to escape from factories,
whereas in reality they are parts illegitimately made (in some cases made to
order) for the collectors' market.

It is highly likely that they escaped a LEGO factory. Mexico, maybe? Tons of

Yes, I just got some at my local Fred Meyer (Kroger) and can confirm Waldorf
is just a regular minifig torso and legs. These are easy to find with the feel

Pick a brick has become a joke since the change. Only 1227 items of 12582 in
stock, that is less than 10% of the items in stock. It had only been getting
worse since it was changed over.
It has been my experience that if you order both bestsellers and standard parts,
you will only get VIP applied properly (when they ship) on bestsellers and I've
had to call to get my points on standard parts when they arrive at my home, they
do not get applied when shipped like bestsellers.

They shut down the standard parts on April 20th for an undefined reason. The
notice originally said they expected it to be back up at the beginning of May
but that has since been changed. The current message says:
"We’re sorry but we’re unable to place new orders for Pick a Brick Standard parts.
Any orders placed before April 20 will take 5-6 weeks from the time they were
placed to be delivered. We’ll update you on LEGO.com once we’ve started back
up again."
They are probably just doing some kind of maintenance or some re-evaluating of
which parts will be available from that service. On the initial transition they
started holding back new parts/colors.

Guess which parts I bought there? New parts and colours.

At this point for me I'm willing to yield a little to these issues only because
my Wanted list is tough to fill on BL and would have to sell many Souls vs I
can get about 7/8 of my wanted list through PaB for almost half the price. Even
some of the wheel sets large wise are far better priced than the markup on BL.
At least for some of the Newer stuff. Clearly BL has the market for more rare
out of mold stuff but between the two I like my options better now having the
new system on line. Even if we are currently handcuffed.

That sounds odd. I have a basket - still there but presumably unable to check
out - for an order I was putting together in the couple of days before they closed
Standard purchases. I was still seeing ~12k items available and in stock on PAB
at that point, probably around the 18th/19th April. This is UK, but shouldn't
be any different for Standard orders.

Thanks, however, I can see the message, but I was tracking this phenomenon since
the first of the April and availability was steadily falling with standard parts.
There are currently 12 standard items you can still add to your cart, so the
notice is not completely true.
On April 1, there were 7163 standard parts available. Then on April 8, there
were 3451 standard parts, on the 15th there were 1779, and today after the "closure"

| To me a minifigure is a character; something with life or life-like characteristics(like
robots). Now don't ask me to differentiate between minifigures and animals,
because that is a bit more of a gray area.

Pick a brick has become a joke since the change. Only 1227 items of 12582 in
stock, that is less than 10% of the items in stock. It had only been getting
worse since it was changed over.
It has been my experience that if you order both bestsellers and standard parts,
you will only get VIP applied properly (when they ship) on bestsellers and I've
had to call to get my points on standard parts when they arrive at my home, they
do not get applied when shipped like bestsellers.

I think it's safe to say that TLG didn't anticipate the popularity of
it, and has been overwhelmed with the traffic since it was initiated... I know
I made my first ever Pick-a-Brick order online using it (and I doubt I'm
the only one)...

They shut down the standard parts on April 20th for an undefined reason. The
notice originally said they expected it to be back up at the beginning of May
but that has since been changed. The current message says:
"We’re sorry but we’re unable to place new orders for Pick a Brick Standard parts.
Any orders placed before April 20 will take 5-6 weeks from the time they were
placed to be delivered. We’ll update you on LEGO.com once we’ve started back
up again."
They are probably just doing some kind of maintenance or some re-evaluating of
which parts will be available from that service. On the initial transition they
started holding back new parts/colors.

Have vague memories of asking about this long ago. Though for the life of me,
can’t recall the rationale offered at the time?
What is The Minifigure in the eyes of BL? What constitutes the idea of
the minifig within the catalog?
There are varying examples of gray areas, taking just one: A micro build comprised
entirely of common parts, none unique or specific to the character, nor to the
archetypal concept of a minifig,
unless you consider this piece within the build, relatable?
The Lego Minifigure, concretely, not in the abstract; what is it? And what are
the respective guidelines, if any, for those having to work within the catalog?
So many questions, so little time
-Thanks

In my mind it has to have a figure shape, I have no problem with calling
a minifigure even though she is half slope-brick but
doesn't really count as a minifigure in my mind even though it is still a
character in the Star Wars universe.

It's my understanding that they're still in the process of transitioning
inventory to the new distribution center. Hoping that they iron out those issues
and restore their stock soon.

| Okay, so the answer is:
1.
The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
Studio: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
PartDesigner: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5589
2.
Studio only contains LEGO parts and official parts will only ever be LEGO parts
but you can add any part you want through PartDesigner, mostly it’s for your
own decorated parts it can do simple 3D models and you can always import 3D models
from other tools.

Don't take John P or his comment too seriously.
John P is a collector who has switched his huge LEGO collection for everything
else collectible, but still lightens our days by posting humorous comments on

His comment is an example of the cyclic reasoning, meaning something like an

Well, how? if you simply push the pivot (313), you bleach it immediately. I also
have a hinge revers-mounted with 313 in perfect conditions, hence my question!

I see. Perceived gray area, then? Though perhaps not so gray (Pearl Dark or otherwise)
In planning a drive through the Sierra Nevadas one winter, I kinda knew we’d
be required by California law, to either have chains or winter tires on the state
road we were to travel. But, as we all sometimes do, I rationalized. That my
truck being heavy with dualies in the rear, would do as well as any winter tires.
“I’ve got a lot of winter-driving experience, overseas ” I rationalized with
my worried passenger.
So, when we were stopped by CHP and asked if we had on winter tires, I replied
“sort of” The officer got laugh out of it and didn’t write-me-up, but did make
us turn around and go back down to the nearest town for chains. In other words,
follow the rules.
There were no driving problems set-up as we were, and would’ve otherwise had
an uneventful trip to Reno. That is to say, it’s always smooth sailing when operating
outside of the rules, until it’s not

That's not quite accurate. "Known colors" only show colors that appear in

Honestly, I'm a little surprised to learn they haven't been produced
in Pearl Dark Gray, yet.
Here's a shortcut to such info.

The easiest way to see if they part exists (IMO) is to go to the part catalog
entry, click "color info" tab and view the "known colors" list. Once a part
is added to the catalog in that color, it will automatically update in that list.
If it is up for sale on wanted lists, it will display in the other columns,
but that doesn't guarantee that it exists.

None. They're the only part missing from the Pearl Dark Gray monofig, as
they haven't been released yet.

It did feature surprisingly heavily in the follow-up survey in January this year
though, in the sense that (almost?) all the suggested subscription options included
it.
It's clearly something they're thinking seriously about, in one form
or another - which would probably not be one that most participants hoped for
- but that's far from any certainty that they'll introduce it.

Indeed. Some people read it as you could order just about any past set from LEGO's
back catalogue.

You can use
It has just enough friction to keep a figure upright and hold it into place without
putting pressure on a stud. You probably have one in your collection to test
out as it's a fairly common piece, in the snowtrooper battle pack as well.

Unfortunately I don’t have that piece, but I’ll try to get one next time I go
on a minifig shopping spree. That’s a really good use of that piece Elkenwood!

I believe it's even been called the "foot plate" as a nickname:

If you read the article this part would be an interesting option to use:

I might need to swap out my 2x plates in my displays. The lego tape seems nice,
not sure the others will work for my setup though

The only consistent issue I've had is about 10 Lord of the Rings orcs all
have their heels crack from being on CMF stands for 5+ years. That was right
at the height of Lego's pigment issues though and brittle brown was one of
the worst colors. Those figures in general just feel bad in their joints and
plastic quality as well. Worse than fakes.
I don't trust aftermarket studs for long term display of valuable figures.
I don't trust that small companies use the same tolerances that Lego is capable
of. Lego tape is a really neat idea for play, but I wouldn't stick hundreds,
if not thousands of dollars worth of figures on it long term.
Any figure is really capable of cracking at any point, Lego figures are just
thin abs plastic under constant friction. If someone is really particular, you
can store it in a dark, climate controlled space with the hands out and legs
out, but in my mind there's really no joy in owning something like that.
I largely collect vintage figures from the 80s / 90s and have found them to be
the best overall for plastic quality. The pre-dyed abs pellets Lego used to use
are superior to the pigmented trans plastic used now in terms of strength and
longevity.

| I read the 'buy sets from the archive' more as what they've done
periodically with re-releases of old sets or possibly even the newer 'recolorization'
of sets, except that they'll limit it to selling to people who pay for their
monthly service.

something amazing like 10123 Cloud City or will it just be spare sets that
nobody wanted, like the 2017 AT ST from Last Jedi?
