The lack of a reasonable search function in Bricks & Pieces makes it so cumbersome to use. <br /><br />But it looks like that add-on fixes that and makes it much better with teh ability to search by category or color!Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760007904631633167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-55653091316461808042021-11-10T15:02:30.842+00:002021-11-10T15:02:30.842+00:00B&P is confusing, although German Lego Fan Bri...B&P is confusing, although German Lego Fan BrickTwo has programmed an add-on for simplifying things.<br /><br />https://www.stonewars.de/anleitungen/brickhunter-browser-erweiterung/Håkan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00767889630145885090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-65102231556906536352021-11-10T05:51:40.229+00:002021-11-10T05:51:40.229+00:00I am embarrassed to say I didn't know Bricks &...I am embarrassed to say I didn't know Bricks & Pieces was a way to get new pieces until now. In my defense I thought the online Pick a Brick store was LEGO.com's only way to get individual pieces. B&P interface also seems like it's designed for kids that have lost pieces. TLG is confusing sometimes...

Like the fillet from where the outer diameter surface of the clips meets the flat flag surface, the rendering is shaded as if that fillet continues across the flat from clip to clip. <br /><br />The depth of the "throat" is a bit shallower too. So if you have the flag clipped to a bar, and then try to clip something else to the middle portion.

In case of Rebrickable, I have a Python script that does an extra check, comparing the digital pdf instructions against the information from Brick&Pieces, as there are a number of type of parts that are not listed on B&P, like most Ninjago minifig parts, and a lot of Collectible Minifig parts. The recent wave of VIDIO sets were a pain to work through.<br />Both methods have their pros and cons. tobymachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746453405498562767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-85016499357795360962021-11-09T18:30:03.666+00:002021-11-09T18:30:03.666+00:00Why does Bricklink take so long to register new pi...Why does Bricklink take so long to register new pieces?

That change seems to have only been made this year, with it appearing in some of last year's sets as an alternate as well. It's interesting to see a change like that to such an old part, but it's a good change, even if it only slightly impacts the part's connectivity by allowing solid studs to attach to the center instead of just hollow studs.Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-31103734386097354132021-11-08T18:31:52.386+00:002021-11-08T18:31:52.386+00:00There are already various moulds of that part with...There are already various moulds of that part with indeed different clips but also different finish (smooth vs grainy - which makes a big diff on transparent ones), maybe they introduced yet another one, or maybe black hadn't been done in the latest version yet.anothergolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063659558378517999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-78848647346011496872021-11-08T13:04:33.884+00:002021-11-08T13:04:33.884+00:00That was the 4x6 flag.
