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.
