Sorry if I get something completely wrong here but why don't you do this?:
arr = [u'Bricks_|_BRICKS_1', u'_BRICKS_2', u'_BRICKS_3', u'_BRICKS_4',
u'Bricks_|Small_BRICKS_1']
arrNew = []
for a in arr:
arrNew.append(a.split("Bricks_|")[-1])
print arrNew
"""
gives [u'_BRICKS_1', u'_BRICKS_2', u'_BRICKS_3', u'_BRICKS_4',
u'Small_BRICKS_1']
"""
hope this helps,
seb
