Registration officially closes at midnight PST tonight for the 5th FBTB Parts Draft. There are only a couple spots left to fill in this forum topic.
If at the end of today we only have 8 participants, that’s the number of sets I’ll sort to keep it the split lots even. Anyone who decides to join after the sets are sorted will be added to the end of the list, since everyone else will have already paid and decided the draft order.
Registration opens today for the 5th FBTB Parts Draft. There will be 9 spots available to draft 9598 Pizza Planet Truck Rescue, one of which could be yours by following the instructions in this forum topic.
The next FBTB Parts Draft will take place on Saturday February 18th at 11 am PST.
We’ll be drafting 10 copies of Toy Story set 9598 Pizza Planet Truck Rescue for $18.50 a pop, more than 50% off MSRP! (shipping charges will be calculated later for each participant.) Our very own Don Solo reviewed it on the site here a year ago, and had high praises for it.

You can see the inventory for this set on Bricklink.
The draft will follow the same rules as the last couple drafts, since we seem to have finally streamlined the process enough.

As previously announced, FBTB is doing it’s 3rd parts draft, and registration is open now! Head to the forum to register. The draft will take place this Saturday at 10 am PST. Hope to see you there!
Now that BothCon and ComicCon are behind us, it’s time we got back to bidness. Who’s ready for a parts draft?
Third time’s the charm, right? We’re going to run things slightly differently this time. Instead of trying to restrict participants to one continent or another and trying to balance almost a dozen different schedules to find a perfect date and time, we’re just going to give you the date and you sign up if you can make it.
What are we drafting? 10 copies of Atlantis set 8061 Gateway of the Squid:
The draft will happen at 10 am PST on Saturday August 6th, which should give quite a number of our membership the possibility of participating.
Further amendments to the process as discussed after the last draft will be put into effect here.
Draft registration will commence on Wednesday August 3rd at 12 pm PST, which you can do in this thread here by simply posting your desire to participate. Feel free to post any questions or comments in the thread; anyone attempting to register before the clock hits noon on August 3rd will be disqualified from entering. I will then confirm your registration via private message and give you payment instructions, and our draft order will be decided by the order I receive payment from participants. Easy, right?
Due to low response from our European membership, the draft is now closed to Europe and is now open for North Americans. The fee for participants in NA is $26 ($15 set, $11S&H.)
What this means is that we now have a mixed-continent draft, and everyone is going to have to be very accommodating and know that you may be signing up to participate in a draft that is run during the day on a weekend so everyone can be present.
This will be the last draft offered with overseas shipping, as the high postage cost may have kept some of our members from joining the draft. If a draft is run for Europe again, it will have to be done locally there.
FBTB’s first parts draft a month ago was a great success, and our plan is to continue as long as people want to participate. We learned some valuable lessons the first time around; with some minor tweaks we’re confident future drafts will run even faster and smoother than the first- which already exceeded our expectations!
So what are we drafting this time? It’s another PoP set picked up on clearance, this time 75% off: 10 copies of Prince of Persia 7572 Quest Against Time!
Check out Flickr user dita svelte’s gallery here to get an idea of what’s in the set, or see Bricklink’s inventory here.
Parts Draft: Numero Dos! will be open for participant registration tomorrow, Friday February 18th. Sometime tomorrow I will unlock the topic and the first 10 European forum members (who joined before February 17th) who post in the thread will be our potential participants who will be confirmed for the draft when the $35USD ($15USD set and $20USD postage and handling) draft fee is received within 24 hours. Who am I considering European? If you fall within the GMT, CET, and EET time zones as seen here.
Comments? We have a general discussion topic for all past present and future drafts, but keep your eyes on THIS TOPIC HERE tomorrow for your chance to join our second FBTB Parts Draft!
