LEGO source

[Nannan]

Where do you get your bricks?

I generally buy LEGO from S@H and TRU. Sometimes I purchase from Amazon or Walmart. Rarely do I buy from BL or other stores.

When I get the rare chance to purchase LEGO, I normally buy at TRU, or occasionally KB Toys (Really good prices there). But for the most part, I get my LEGO around Christmas and my Birthday.
I'm trying to make my gift requests limited to LEGO and a couple PC/PS2 games.

My main bricks I use come from Bricklink. My collection has reached the point where it's mostly sufficient for designs, I just tend to need to order extras of specific pieces.

My main source for sets is finding them on-sale at stores when I'm down island or elsewhere. I buy from S@H whenever we get provided with catalog codes. I just made a large order yesterday, actually. I am now officially in debt - Fortunately I just started another tutoring job!

Finally, I sometimes buy off Ebay. Mostly older sets I'm collecting and stuff. Occassionally I'll do deals with people through forums and stuff, but that's rare.

Of course, I occassionally get LEGO from other sources such as garage sales, but those are uncommon and random.

Althought I can very well manage in the world of Internet ( I am becoming IT-professional, after all) I do not buy stuff from net. That might chance after years but now my main bulk of LEGO elements is coming from garage sales (hard to find any LEGO sets there) and from friends. I have a habit of asking if my friends sell their LEGO sets to me and normally, they will sell them (mostly when they need money to drink something).

Here is example: I bought 1.100+ bricks for 11 €. The same prizetag is for very small LEGO sets in these days so I do think that I made a good deal. They are now laying in my room, waiting to be put to my collection.

(I am usually getting alot of mid-late 90's sets, which are pretty good.)

You're such a clown. This is the funniest thing I've heard from you next to "[/sarcasm]".

Ah, the wonders of another world... quite wonderful.

I usually buy from TRU or a nearby Target, but I find Ebay has some great prices, so mostly I get sets from there, as well as Bricklink, for both sets and pieces.

Oh, and every once in awhile I'll buy from LEGO S@H.

I never have used Ebay due to the capricious and cutthroat bidding. You're a BL user? good for you

[Sz_2cool4u2b]

Yeah, bidding sometimes is a hassle. Sometimes I'll just use Buy it Now, so much easier.

TRU and Target.

Maaaaaybe Wal-mart, if they have any good sales.

I don't use bricklink... or ebay. If I do I am going to spend waaay to much money waaaay too fast. Buying parts that I always wanted but will never really use.

a weird thing that I've found is that K-mart (Gasp) actually has good sales, got the Gear Grinders set for 13.99, instead of 19.99 at S@H ..Also got 10% off a whole bunch of Star Wars sets, and the tiny Dino Attack AtV.
