Good afternoon All,

I was just on LEGOdotcom and did a search on the site's engine for a brick
separator. The only result it had was for the orange one and it stated something
like "no longer available". I'm sure, from other pictures on their
site, that they have other color of separators but no search result brought them
up. Statement: Odd!

Question: What are brick separators classified as on this site. Are they "Brick
modified", "plate modified" or "reclining minifigure furniture"?

As a returning newbie to the site feel free to roast me for the rookie question


Thanks.

Funny, it’s “Retired” on S@H US but still available in France.

And it’s €2.49 there vs. €0.10 here.  Maybe LEGO could buy some here to replenish
their stock?

There's also a set entry:
 
Set No: 630  Name: Brick Separator, Orange
* 
630-3 (Inv) Brick Separator, Orange
1 Part, 2012
Sets: Service Packs

BrickSet says it was retired in the U.S. in February of this year.

I see a few "Used Incomplete" listings on BrickLink?

And several used "like new"…

Elusive? if you buy enough sets that include them in their inventory, you'll
have enough to build a custom MOC out of the brick separators!

Cheers ...

Lol, yes you are correct. What I thought was strange, though, was LEGO online's
store not having an easy way to find one inside their search bar. I'm sure
eventually I will have enough to use them as throw away ice cream spoons eventually.
Think of the dishwashing pods I will save!

They're worse than boomerangs. Boomerangs you can throw away, and they come
back if designed to. These brick separators never leave!

Hey, if you can't give them away, I'd take them!
