LEGO® Pick a Brick: new elements added in October 2025 for Europe, Australia and New Zealand

Having skipped September 2025, LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) have confirmed they will resume the addition of new elements to the service this week, but only for European, Australian and New Zealand stores. New parts from May and June 2025 sets are included, so it's a bumper load!

The PaB stores in USA and Canada will not be included due to the current ongoing suspension. No definite date has been provided for the resumption of service in North America, however we do know that it is the team's top priority, and much progress has been made.

LEGO® Pick a Brick: element removal for 2025

Last Chance PaB is upon us! We have the list of LEGO® pieces due to be removed from the Pick a Brick (PaB) service later this year. In 2024, this happened in early December, but it might be different this year. Besides that, the elements could go out of stock at any time before then, and would not be restocked.

We're providing this information so that you can plan your purchases, but maybe don't buy just yet? In the next day or two, new elements will be added to PaB in the European, Australian and New Zealand stores! We will publish the list as soon as we see those going live. As for North America, the issues related to the supply of Standard elements are being resolved first – but we have no firm date from the team yet. 

More information as it comes, but for now, check out the list of disappearing LEGO parts!

The LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) individual element online ordering service has had a successful year in respects of new features and improvements, but a challenging time with the fulfilment of orders. Just as things seemed back on track, there's fresh woe for customers in the USA and Canada: today, thousands of Standard elements have been removed from sale, and it seems the root cause may be changes to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.

Pick a Brick USA & Canada: Standard elements are back

The LEGO® Pick a Brick service have re-opened their "Standard" service in North America and over 12,000 elements have returned. Only "Bestseller" elements have been available since the service was closed in December 2024.

This is a step towards things getting back to normal with Pick a Brick, what with the ongoing warehouse issues and poor customer communication on late 2024 orders that have left many customers frustrated and angry. However, in a new development for 2025, maximum order quantities have been placed on many items – read on for details.
