I know why! Angel the brick you want to use has not been in a recent LEGO set so you have to wait for more to be made at the factory.

I don't know the answer to that question myself!

I dont know, but im sure it has to do with the fact that LEGO doesnt make the bricks anymore, or they are being used at that moment (those caterpillar tractor/tank tracks/treads are being used for a bionicle set...)

It probably has to do with the cost. Some of the bricks are exclusive to certain sets, like Mindstorms, and you have to buy the set to get the bricks.

Personally, I think that every single LEGO brick should be buyable in LDD.Cool

hai,

That is because some bricks have an uneven amount of plastic and so
it will be less than a penny.
Since you need to have a price on both the gallery and the price itself
it cant show.Sorry.
<br/>I think your reason is correct but boy is it frustrating!
