| Just curious to know if anyone has figured out how/when Lego introduces new pieces
to its bricks and pieces catalog. Brickset just uploaded the newly released pieces,
but all are sold out on B&P.
If I'm remembering correctly, Lego used to list unavailable pieces as $0.00
and pieces that were actually sold out would have an actual price but be marked
as sold out... All new pieces have a price, and are marked as sold out.
Are there bots that snag these new parts as soon as they are listed? It's
always super frustrating trying to buy new parts off of B&P.

They use a mixture of out of stock, sold out and missing items. There rarely
seems any logic to it.

| I can't answer all your questions, but I believe they upload the set inventories
the moment they become available for purchase to the public.
It is so that customers who have broken/missing pieces in those sets can get
them through the customer service on the site.
When the parts will be in stock to order on B&P, I do not know. That could take
weeks, maybe even months.
And you are probably right about the bots, that makes most sense. Or else some
very dedicated fella did upload almost 1000 new parts to brickset today

| They need to have stronger limits per account for B&P, especially for new items.
