LEGO® Pick a Brick improvements in Europe, Australia and New Zealand
As a result of more warehouse space in Poland, LEGO® Pick a Brick have just made a massive upgrade to the platform (but not in North America, which remains the same, as it is not served by the Polish facility).
Marco, Loose Bricks Manager at The LEGO Group, shows photographs of the installation of the new Pick a Brick warehouse space in Poland. |
In Europe, Australia and New Zealand, all "Standard" elements are in the process of being moved to "Bestseller" and soon there will be no more Standard elements. There is no concrete information as to whether the same changes will happen in North America in the future.
