LEGO® Pick a Brick: Testing of colour grouping underway

As we reported back in February, the LEGO® Pick a Brick development team have been planning a new way to display pieces on the service so that it is much simpler to see all available colours of a part. This new user interface is now being tested in a limited number of countries, and the team are looking for your feedback to help decide whether or not to return to the previous format.

UPDATE 25 August 2025: they will proceed with implementation. Read their full reply at the end of this article.

Elements are now grouped by part number – called design IDs by The LEGO Group – making it possible to view all available colours for a specific part, before clicking for further details. 

The new interface is being tested in the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Norway, but even if you're not in one of those countries, you can still explore it (but not purchase). Simply click any of the country links above.
(To change back to your own country afterwards, use the country selector in the footer on LEGO.com.)

Once you've given the updated layout a good tryout, the Pick a Brick team is very interested in your feedback via a ~3 minute survey. They may keep it, tweak it, or even return to the previous format. 

The opinions of all you New Elementary fans is highly influential! We won't make any comment ourselves here, lest we influence you.

Results from the survey

UPDATE from the Pick a Brick team, 25 August 2025:

"A huge thank you to everyone who took part in our recent Pick a Brick Grouped Colour survey. We loved hearing from you, and your feedback is already helping us improve the experience.

"The new grouped colour feature has had an overwhelmingly positive response. Many of you told us it feels faster, easier to use, and a big improvement when browsing, comparing, and ordering parts. You said it feels more natural to shop by part first and then choose a colour, that it is cleaner and less cluttered, and that it makes finding all colour options much simpler.

"You also shared some brilliant ideas for making it even better, including faster page loading, clearer colour swatches, better out-of-stock indicators, easier access to important piece information and tweaks to how colours are organised.

"We’re excited to keep refining this feature. Some updates can be made quickly, while others will take a little more time. Thank you again for helping shape the future of Pick a Brick and keep your eyes peeled for the updates coming your way."
