The pandemic has not slowed people down from buying LEGO. \ud83d\ude42 Pictured is the Pick-a-Brick (PaB) parts available at the Castleton\u2019s LEGO store (thanks to Natasha). Most stores have gone this way for selling PaB parts — you tell someone which parts you want and how much you want, then they fill a cup for you. It’s not a bad system, you’re not touching bricks tens of people have touched before you. But it also means you don’t get to pack the cups by stacking parts. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some stores have their Build-a-Minifig (BaM) displayed this way as well, or they have pre-packaged set of figs you can pick from (sometime with a generous amount of extra parts). I find it interesting that there’s a female elf released with the BaM. The Elf Club House<\/a> (#10275) looks to have (maybe?) a female elf as well, but with a green hat, not the pink one… I like variety and diversity, so I’ve picked up 2 pink elves now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
