Took me a while searching for spare parts finder and building instructions but found them eventually. Not sure whether I like it or not yet.

Yep, looks like some are, similar to what is available elsewhere. I wonder if they will still take an email order for klickies and such?

Well, this is weird.  If I type in the common PMB address, it takes me directly to the German site. Instead of .com, it changes to .de

I agree with Tahra, the format in several sections is a mess. Luckily the link to order spare parts is easy to find.

Though actually ORDERING them is a mess...

I wonder who tested this.

It's going to take a lot of getting used to.

Do you have the link for this on the US website?  I can't find it.

My opinion is that the new website has far more pictures but is much less intuitive to navigate.

The part ordering is supposed to be (used to be on German site) on the page of the set, but when you go to a set where you know parts are available there is no link. The link does exist on the German site page so I think it has to do with the site version since it was never there before for the US.
However, yesterday on the Building Instructions page linked from the lowest left of each page there was a radio button that lets you switch to ordering by parts number.  It's gone now, which makes me think they messed up and weren't really supposed to have that there for the US site.
I just sent in an emailed parts order to the US team, so I expect we will hear early next week if there are changes in process in the works for them.

Thanks, Tim.  On the German site, I do see the parts ordering for certain sets on the individual set page.  It would be great if the US could get this too.

I tried the part number spare parts and building instructions search on the new US website for over a dozen current part numbers for current US sets and every single one said "no building instructions found" so clearly it's not working now.  Will it in the future?  Here's hoping.
