It looks like LEGO Factory will begin individual brick fulfillment beginning tomorrow, April 8th. This means no more shipment of extra bricks when you order a model designed with LEGO Digital Designer (LDD). Instead of being based on a set of bags, LEGO Factory will be based on individual parts. This should reduce the cost of the model to its most basic price, and also make the entire process of design and ordering much more accessible.

No information if there will be a new palette to download (I assume so), or any price points for individual pieces or shipping time/cost. And of course you’ll need to design your model using LDD.

This is pretty much what we’ve been asking and waiting for. I suggest checking out http://www.legofactory.com on Saturday to see more details.

(...) Wow, great news Kelly and thanks for bringing it to our attention... I am glad the date is April 8th, one week earlier and I wouldnt have assumed this was a Kim Impossible. Cheers, Janey "Red Brick" (19 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

(...) That is great news indeed! Also gives me hope that Lego Train Factory will be priced realistically (i.e. a typical car or engine won't end up costing $500+) Spencer (19 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

		Re: LEGO Factory individual parts fulfillment
Now lets see what sort of peices they offer. I've been less that thrilled with the previous selections. I can hear bricklink dealers shuttering around the world. (19 years ago, 9-Apr-06, to lugnet.market.shopping, FTX)

		Re: LEGO Factory individual parts fulfillment
(...) Has anyone successfully got this yet? I just tried downloading the new LDD 1.5, but don't see any new palettes, and a 3-piece model created with an old palette still gives me loads of extra parts.

		LEGO Factory fulfillment is MAY 8 (was: LF Individual Parts Fulfillment)
(...) As you've all noticed, April 8th has come and gone with no change in LF. I did find out that there was a miscommunication, and since I dislike assigning blame or pointing fingers (like at Steve Witt for instance) I won't go into details. (...)
