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.

But they forgot to change the text...

A shame it's not available everywhere. Money. Yuck.

I just placed an order through it, and it was the most painful process I've ever had using a website. Everytime I clicked through to the payment page it would just refresh the page I was on, but wouldn't tell me what information was missing/causing a clash. And it refused to recognise my date of birth in any format.

Looking through the US site I find it very confusing.  Couldn't find add-ons or direct service anywhere. And pictures of Christmas items a week ago showed things that weren't yet available in the US. So far it seems like a mess and not user friendly, or enticing, at all

"History" combines erstwhile Knights, Western, Pirates, etc. I guess sharks featured under Pirates. A cross reference to Wild Life would be suitable, though.

What really bugs me with the new sites is that the picture gallery of all Fi?ures releases has disappeared. Or did I just fail to find it?

It is really annoying because I used these pics for my eBay listings, and don't know where to turn to otherwise - I certainly don't want to copy from Playkingdoms or Animobil (rest assured! :D), and there is nothing else out there. And opening the bags to take my own pictures is not an option in the MIB trade ...

Yeah, I figured it was because of pirates, but surely they can put them in two categories. Even my basic website lets me put items in multiple categories. This is also a problem with the other animal sets. Many of them would work under Wildlife and Zoo.

In my opinion the new site represent the company much better then the old one.
