LEGO® Pick a Brick: USA & Canada closure of Standard pieces

The LEGO® Pick a Brick team have advised they will be updating their North American service in 2027 to be the same as the rest of the world, where there is no distinction between "Bestseller" and "Standard" bricks. To prepare for this change, Standard bricks will cease being available in North America starting Monday 2 November 2026 until some time in Q1 2027, to provide time to migrate Standard piece stocks (currently shipped from Denmark) to the American warehouse (pictured above, apologies for the low quality). This is similar to earlier years when the entire service used to shut down to deal with holiday demand.

In short: if you are in the US or Canada and want any Standard bricks in the next 3 to 6 months, purchase them this month, as Sunday 1 November is the final day. 

Furthermore, LEGO® DUPLO® bricks will also go at the same time and will be gone for a longer period.
