Bricks and Pieces

I can't find Bricks and Pieces on [email protected] today, only pick a brick. What's up with that?

Thai is strange, it is showing up for me.

No, it's not. I just called them. The Bricks and Pieces will be down until Feb.1. "for the holidays" they said.
Thanks @bumblepants

Yep, not showing up for me either.

All 3 colours of squirrels, all 3 colours of kittens, the tan turtle and the dark orange horse are now available on Bricks and Pieces. Still waiting for an elephant butt though...

Reading elsewhere the selection is poor and the prices are worse for the revamped B&P. Anyone here had a look at it yet? I didn't realize it was up already.

^Would this be for only the initial rollout where it's a reduced selection of pieces with the remainder of the catalog releasing in a couple more weeks?

...I'm afraid to look if this is the case.

When I load it up everything still looks the exact same... so maybe it's not live in the US yet?

I thought rollout was elsewhere with USA sometime in February so it would look the same unless taken down entirely in US.  I placed an order yesterday with both bricks and pieces and pick a brick in it and it was same as before.

Maybe I need to try and sneak another order in before anything changes then. Thanks for the confirmation, LoIs!

Currently shows only 667 parts to choose from where it had been averaging 1400 give or take a few.  It was unavailable over the previous couple of days for me when I tried to look.

Are you talking about Bricks and Pieces or Pick a brick online?

B&P has been acting up on me where I cannot paste a Part number into the part number field, but otherwise has been working fine for me.

As for PaB online, I put in a PaB LEGO order so I could get an order in and add my VIP coin but that was a few weeks ago. It looks like there was an update.

Although now I see in PaB there are shark bodies, but no heads for the sharks.. See this is why I never understood PaB online when stuff like this happens, why would people buy sharks bodies, but no heads?

I just placed an order the other day. Everything looked the same as always. I just attempted to look up a set and it wasn't listed. So who knows.
