Buying Bulk LEGO
Yard sales and thrift stores can be very hit-and-miss. When you find them you can get great bargains, but most of the time it’s not fruitful unless you have other reasons to shop there.
When I built my Pokemon sculptures, I was able to do that using a bulk brick tub that lego was selling at the time (set #3033). I bought about 20 of those at $20 each and still ran out of certain parts – that’s why Squirtle‘s tail was so small. Sadly, that tub was discontinued a few years ago and the bulk tubs that are available more recently haven’t had nearly as good of an assortment or as good of a price per brick.
Probably the easiest way to get cheap parts is to shop on BrickLink. It’s an online shopping mall just for LEGO. Sellers buy sets in bulk (generally when they have clearance sales at retail stores) and sort the parts, putting the individual pieces on their stores. Then you can go in and order any part in quantity. It’s an awkward site to use, but I think the best way is to start at the Catalog tab, find the part you want in the color you want, and then find a store that has them in sufficient quantity. (Disclaimer: I have my own BrickLink store.)
There’s also bulk brick available from LEGO; usually they’re a lot more expensive that way but once in a while you can find some real bargains. Look for the “Pick-A-Brick” in the LEGO Factory and if you have a LEGO store in your nearby mall, they have an in-person pick-a-brick wall where you can fill up a plastic cup with LEGO parts for $13.
And of course don’t forget about buying sets on sale. Look at your local Target, Toys ‘R’ Us, or Wal-Mart for clearance sales, and check Web sites online such as Amazon.com and others. Check for sales at LEGO Shop-At-Home (and try their phone number too, as they have weekly phone-only sales as well).
If you know any other good ways to find bulk LEGO at economical prices, please post it here as a comment….

[...] Buying Bulk LEGO [...]
December 25th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Although I liked the LEGO pick-a-brick site, it didnt include every brick/component from every kit LEGO sells – just “some bricks”.
I’d love to see a “bulk” way to purchase, say, 20 or 30 Mindstorms NXT Motor “bricks”, 5 “Intelligent bricks” (NXT Controllers), and a handful of sensors, and have that be enough of a “bulk purchase” to warrant a substantial cost savings.
In the meanwhile, I’ll just keep tearing apart the old robots to build new ones, I guess. :-)
December 25th, 2008 at 4:25 am
Well you can buy those parts individually, but you won’t get much of a price break… http://www.legoeducation.com/
December 30th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Plus there is buying them on ebay by the pound. if lucky you can get large lots for $5 per pound.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Very true. I’ve had some success searching for “lego pound” or “lego pounds” but it can be very much hit-and-miss.
January 6th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Bill – thanks for the lead! http://www.legoeducation.com/ does indeed give me some purchasing options I didn’t know I had- that after searching around on LEGO’s web-store for quite a while.
Looks like they’ll be seeing some of my “discretionary budget” as soon as I’ve got any of that again! :-)
…OK gotta get back to building… :-)
Best regards, and Happy New Year!

You can also make some inexpensive LEGO type motors like this one.

I have had luck over the past few years purchasing frmo the lego stores. Once a year or so I will make a purchase of $600-$1000 and can usually get them to give me 15% off. This is easier if you ask for an additional 15% free rather then reducing the cost.
February 4th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I’m not sure if that’s something the clerks at the LEGO store are supposed to do, but congrats. Another great way to get LEGO store discounts is to attend LEGO conventions where you can get 20% off your purchase at the LEGO store that weekend just for showing your convention badge, and there’s usually a chance to get “scratch & dent” sets for up to half off, and then there’s all the free prizes handed out at the convention. For example, Bricks by the Bay is just 2 months away… http://www.bricksbythebay.com

hey guys, I was wondering if you can help me out with a project I’m developing which includes lego. Im basically developing a training program for businesses, and part of it includes teamwork and leadership etc. So, I am looking for the BIG GIANT LEGO bricks and a lot of them so i can provide these people with activities and such. Would you know where i can aquire these? or atleast an idea?
February 7th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Not sure what you mean by “BIG GIANT LEGO” but if you mean Duplo, the bricks that are 2x in each dimension compared to regular LEGO bricks, you should be able to find them at all the same places listed in the article.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:05 am
Thanks , but i was actually thinking along the lines of lunablocks dimensions if you know what i mean…. BIG!
February 8th, 2010 at 7:48 am
LEGO doesn’t make those.
February 16th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
I found a great site that organizes a bunch of links for bulk lego purchases: http://www.snazzindustries.com/bulk-bricks.html
It has the same old regular blah about bricklink but actually has some interesting links I had never seen before. Like some lego education stuff where you actually can get a bunch of nxt bricks for much cheaper than normal.
February 16th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
Bill,
My next computer build will include Lego bricks for housing the motherboard, cpu, power supply and hard drive. Do you know anyone in BayLug who has done this before?
See you this Saturday at the meeting.
Joel
April 8th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Anyone have any ideas for buying 5,000 1 x 1 x 1 in about 5 colours? Its for an art project. Is Bricklink the best way? In some stores on there it would cost a fortune for all those.
April 11th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Depends on the color, I think. Pick-A-Brick at the LEGO store might have some of the colors you need, and that might be cheaper – you would have to do the math to be sure.
April 22nd, 2010 at 1:26 am
Hi there! I am looking to buy original LEGO brand new sets in bulk quantity. If anybody can help me please get in touch with me.
My email is nordpoland@yahoo.com Thanks Greg
August 24th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Bill,
I have about 50 to 60 lbs of legos that I found in a box way back in the closet. There are no sets per se but we bought them in sets years ago for the kids. There is to many to seperate and I wouldnt know where to begin. I am going to take the to the local PO and have them weighed so I have an accurate weight. If my calculations are correct in weight, appox. what are they worth, and where can I sell them?
Thx
August 26th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Probably your best bet would be eBay. If you search for “lego pounds” you can see some other LEGO bulk lots for sale usually, and get an idea of how to price yours.
September 5th, 2010 at 9:52 am
hi i was wondering were is the best and cheapest place to buy lego all i realy want is the normal 2×4 blocks ect but need a few thousand.the cheeper the better as i am on a budget
September 5th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
Chris, probably the best bet for you would be Bricklink.
December 10th, 2010 at 2:54 am
Try craigslist.com
they have the broken upsidedown cross as a logo thing but ah sometimes you can find good buys
December 10th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
What do you mean by broken upsidedown cross? It’s a peace symbol.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:37 am
Hi, Im on a mission for my son to get the parts to build the rv from the lego road trip site. He wants to give as a Christmas gift and build it as a “father son” thing with my boyfriend (i melted and am determined to figure this out!) I live very close to manhattan ny. Could I go pick out pieces from the store (i have downloaded the instructions on the site, but know zero about legos myself so im dont know what to ask for/pick out) I know its not a set, but more of a diy job, could you put it into newbie terms or tell me specifically what i need to do? I would really appreciate the help, and understand its a lot. Thanx so much.
December 22nd, 2010 at 10:28 am
I’m not sure what parts are in that model, but the odds are good that you’ll only find a few of them at the Pick-A-Brick wall at your LEGO store, even if you’re willing to make a few substitutions. I don’t think you’ll be able to do this in time for Christmas, unfortunately.
Your best bet is to find a BrickLink store that has all the parts and is located close to you that the shipping can be quick. You might possibly get lucky and find a vendor in NYC with all the parts whom you can meet in person to do the transaction, but the odds are against it. Good luck.
December 28th, 2010 at 1:43 am
You can buy it at an annual yard sale near me for £5 per kilo.
January 1st, 2011 at 11:27 am
i would like to find the bricks to build the lionsgate ferry, what is the best way to go about that, only the instructions are available on their site. thanks great site!
January 2nd, 2011 at 9:53 pm
What I suggest is creating a BrickLink account and entering all the parts from the model into your wanted list, and use the wanted list feature to find vendors that have the parts you need. That way you can click the “Show items on my wanted list from this vendor” to see the other parts on your list that a given vendor has.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:50 pm
How do I find specific LEGO pieces using only the part/item #? The part I’m referring is 4211026…. usually used as a stabilizing bar or other. This part can be found on all 4 of the feet assembly on the AT-AT (non motorized). Please help me locate some of these (about 10 – 20 of ‘em). Thank you so much, I’ll be forever in your debt if you help me find them.
January 3rd, 2011 at 7:22 pm
You’ll have to get acquainted with the part naming systems used in the AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) community. I would start by looking up the set on peeron.com and finding the part(s) you need in the set inventory there and then find the part name or number on BrickLink. Bear in mind that there are slight differences between the naming / numbering schemed across sites.
January 11th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
I have recently found a huge container of my boys old Lego’s . I am interested in know what they are worth if I chose to sell them. Over the years we bought so many sets I have no clue what is in this container. I would estimate it is about 50 lbs..
January 11th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Unsorted LEGO can be sold by the pound – we have a vendor who sells bulk bricks at our club meetings for (I think) $8/pound. He gets the supplies from yard sales mostly. If you can sort your son’s LEGO collection into complete sets, with instructions and such, you could do a lot more – many old sets, if intact, can be sold on eBay for good money.
January 20th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
You got pretty much all the ways of buying LEGO that I know of. I wrote a similar article last year (http://www.squidoo.com/easy-ways-to-buy-individual-lego-pieces), and have had a great response to it.
I would add that a lot of people have LEGO that they’d like to get rid of, so occasionally I’ve gotten some LEGO for free by just asking around. A lot of people don’t want it and would prefer to have more space in their garage or attic instead.
February 6th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
I am buliding a complete working desktop out of legos i am currently in the process of having lego and other companys sponcer me no answer yet :( but i am wondering if anyone would dotate to my project i will put you on the list of sponcers i only need bricks black and white perfered anything from 1000 to 1 brick anything is possible email me at RaycoComputers@yahoo.com
February 9th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Probably too late for Sarah, but I wanted to build the Road Trip RV as well . . . you can’t get all the pieces from the pick a brick website, but if you call Lego replacement parts, they have all the pieces and can sell them all to you . . . for $80. All you have to do is download the directions for the RV from the Build Together web site, phone replacement parts, and order from the parts list on the RV directions. They are very helpful.
Doesn’t make sense to me that Lego would air a cool ad like that and not have all the pieces available on pick a brick . . .
February 9th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
I’m sure it would cost a LOT less on bricklink!
March 13th, 2011 at 11:18 am
you can buy individual lego technic bits from http://www.technicbricks.co.uk , there not realy a bulk seller buy you can get exactly what you want.
June 30th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
I am looking for a replacemernt RC Battery Box /Receiver unit for a Lego 8675 Outdoor Challenger. Lego does not carry the part and I connot seem to locate one on the web anywhere. Does anyone have any thoughts? The actual part number is 47385c01.
Thank you
July 5th, 2011 at 10:17 am
That’s a tricky one. My only suggestion would be to put it on your BrickLink wanted list – sooner or later someone might put one up for sale, and when they do you’ll get an alert email.
July 15th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
hi there i have about 50kg of lego wud you be intrested
July 15th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
Your best bet is probably to sell it on ebay.
July 20th, 2011 at 7:34 am
Silly question, but would like a response.
I posted my son is selling his legos at an upcoming garage sale and I am having tons of people coming out of the woodwork wanting to purchase. Why? Lego’s are everywhere. Are they just reselling on ebay? I can’t figure out why I have received so many emails with people wanting to take all of the sets without really caring if a piece is missing. Thanks for your help.
July 20th, 2011 at 8:20 am
Yup, probably putting them up on eBay, or reselling them at a flea market or similar. We have a vendor who sells used LEGO in bulk at our BayLUG meetings, and he gets his bricks from a network of people who visit yard sales like yours, buy all the LEGO they can, and then pass them on for a slight markup. I’d encourage your son to keep his LEGO in the attic until he reaches adulthood – if he’s anything like me, he’ll want to get them back from you sometime in his 20s and start building with them again.
If you really want to sell them, put them up on eBay yourself, and you’ll get a lot more money for them.
July 20th, 2011 at 8:32 am
many thanks!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:38 am
If you do list them on ebay, be sure to come back here and post a link to the auction :-)
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:01 am
Hi Bill, My kids are attempting to collect all of the modular building sets. We have all but cafe corner, and market street. Would we be able to individually purchase all of the bricks needed to build those two sets? And if so, would that cost less than the used sets currently being sold on ebay? Or, should we just find a good used set on ebay? thanks!!!
October 22nd, 2011 at 2:31 pm
It would be a lot of work to try to get every part using bricklink, but it should be possible. I’m not sure which would cost more, but probably the easiest solution is to just find someone selling the set used on ebay … but bricklink also has sets for sale, so check there too.
But I would encourage you (and your kids) to make up your own buildings using the *style* of those sets, rather than just building the sets designed by the LEGO company. LEGO is about creativity after all, not just collecting.
October 22nd, 2011 at 7:08 pm
Thank you, Bill, for this information, and for your creativity encouragement!
November 15th, 2011 at 7:36 am
I bought the Emerald Night train for my son’s Christmas present. On the lego site they have listed the power functions that are needed along with the flex track (8867). I read the reviews on the track and they are very negative. Can anyone recommend a track to me that is better and will work with this train? If Lego doesn’t sell it, I can look else where. Also, can you recommend how much track I should buy and how many straights, curves, etc? This is very new to me. My son is 13 but when it comes to Lego’s he’s very talented and loves to be challenged I think a good track will be good for him. The reviews on the flex track sounds like he will get frustrated. Any advice or recommendations is appreciated. Thanks
November 15th, 2011 at 9:04 am
The flex track can be a little unreliable but the regular straight and curved tracks are just fine. It takes 16 curves to make a circle; add however many straights if you want to make an oval or something. See my Track Layout Geometry page for a primer on LEGO track. You might want to get some flex track just to add flexibility; my page was written before they came out with that option.
November 16th, 2011 at 6:27 am
Thank you! I’m wondering if you can give me some advice? Like I said earlier, my son is getting the Emerald Night for Christmas. I want to buy the power functions and track so he can use it. I want to add other trains to this so he will eventually have a nice collection. Would it make more sense if I buy another train set that has some of the power functions (e.g. city passenger train or cargo) along with the emard night so I can use the parts? When I add up the power functions and the track that is recommended it is about $130. Can I use some of the parts from the other sets and save money in the long run? Confusing? What would make more sense to do….order all the power functions and track for the emeral night OR order another set too and order only the parts that would be needed for the emeral night? This is the first lego train he will be receiving. So, we don’t have any parts now. Any help or advice would be really appreciated!
November 16th, 2011 at 7:26 am
Powering the Emerald Night is done with the Power Functions XL motor, powering the wheels through a Technic gear mechanism. The other Power Functions trains you mention are powered by a specialized powered truck that is all in one. Also the Emerald Night is a difficult set to build, that’s more for the advanced builder, and some of the moving parts can jam up… basically it looks great but it is far less practical to use. If you just want a train to play with, the cargo or passenger train sets are easy to build and more reliable to operate. But ultimately the power of LEGO is not in what sets you build, but what parts you have to work with for designing your own creations…
November 17th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Hi Bill,
Perhaps you can help me. My son loves the lego star wars clone troopers, and I am trying to find them in bulk. I’ve tried brick link, but I can’t seem to find them in a bulk sale. If I buy one mini-fig at $5.50, then I’d be better off to buy those $11 set that has 4 of them from a box store. Am I missing something?
November 17th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Nope, your best bet is to buy that set… with luck, on sale. Good luck!
November 19th, 2011 at 5:45 pm
Hello Bill,
I was wondering if you would like to buy my 11 building plates and 60 pounds of Lego for 700 To 800 dollars i really need the money!
The reason i am asking 700 to 800 is because there is over 2500 dollars worth of Lego in there!
Please email me at matthewgdavidge@live.ca if interested, ((this also goes for anyone else who would want to buy this))
Thanks Alot!!
Matt
November 19th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Your best bet is probably to break it up into smaller sized lots and sell them on eBay.
November 21st, 2011 at 1:58 pm
Thanks Bill! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing how brick link worked.

January 2nd, 2012 at 6:45 pm
I had recently been looking for a large quantity of Bulk Bricks. I have found a manufacturer of a very compatible , good quality building brick. “Made in Canada” I purchased 3LBS almost 850 pcs for $25.00 large bricks. It is not the cheap “knock offs” that we are used to. Many Colours as well. If your interested I can send the link
January 4th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Sorry I don’t use knock-off brands.
February 5th, 2012 at 1:20 am
Where i can get a instruction to build a 2 feet size Minifigs, i saw pictures of this guy building the big Ninjago, and he got the small one on his hand…
Thanks…
February 5th, 2012 at 2:15 am
No idea, sorry. That was probably a Master Model Builder event at a LEGO store. I haven’t seen the Ninjago one, but I’ve been involved in Yoda, Buzz Lightyear, and Pirate builds. Basically a Master Builder from LEGO makes a design using mostly 2×4 bricks, and then at the store they have kids create 8x16x4 scaled-up bricks and recreate the smaller model using those large bricks. Some of the detail parts come pre-assembled (and glued) from the Master Builder Shop. None of those are ever released to the public as instructions though. Your best bet is if some adult fan has made a design for one and is willing to share it, but I am not aware of any.
February 14th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
I have lego bricks for $5 per pound. There are about 18 pounds. Let me know quick since I would rather have the space in the house.
February 18th, 2012 at 11:26 am
@Mark the instructions for the GENERIC 18″ Minifig is available on the Lego website at the following.. http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4154614.pdf
Using that as your base you can modify the build to be anything you want Ninjango, Pirates whatever. The official Lego one USES ALOT OF PLATES though!! But if you are looking for something close that only uses bricks I’d suggest the build instructions on this site
http://brickplayer.com/blog/2008/02/04/space-minifig-lego-sculpture/
It is also a 10x scale like the Lego build and it is mainly all bricks and very minimum # of plates …
The instructions are at the bottom and are very similar to the Lego version.
February 22nd, 2012 at 8:30 pm
I would be interested in marilene’s offer if i knew how to contact her.

Hi AFOL’s, Im wondering seeing a discussion of using non LEGO bricks / elements at these forum just because there cheaper. I might be a purist but I even dont consider it.
May 3rd, 2012 at 1:03 pm
I think clone bricks are usually shunned by most LEGO enthusiasts because of their low quality and brand loyalty. Though some people make exceptions for accessory companies such as BrickArms, BrickForge, etc.
June 7th, 2012 at 8:04 am
Sup all, trying to build batman series one by buying individual bricks…have any good suggestion on what website to start at? I have tried a few like pick a brick, couldn’t find exactly what I am looking for there.
June 12th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
I would suggest bricklink is probably the best place if you are looking for specific individual parts.
June 22nd, 2012 at 9:36 am
I’m looking for Duplo size bricks that are 1 row X 4 nubs. I know that Tyco has that size but I’m wanting Lego brand bricks. Anyone know where to buy Duplo in a particular brick size and color in bulk?
June 22nd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Bricklink has Duplo parts – if LEGO has ever made it, it should be in their database and someone probably is selling them.
June 23rd, 2012 at 8:00 am
Thank you Bill. I had assumed the site was for the original size only.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:06 am
Does any 1 no how i can buy like shit load of lego all the same size peices and diffrent colours… Cheap wud b good .. Is there like a sute or anything i can buy lego from that dont make manufactor standerds and they just throw out or sumfin???
September 19th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
Hi Bill, great builds on your Flickr site. I’m just getting back into legos (son just turned 5 and he loves them). We like to build houses and buildings together; can you recommend a good base of sloped legos to have in our collection that will allow us to be creative? All the best, Paul
September 19th, 2012 at 10:15 pm
It depends what you want to build – probably best to have some of each, and go to bricklink when you run out of something.
September 19th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Sorry Cecil, LEGO recycle any bad quality parts. They’re very particular about their standards.
October 1st, 2012 at 8:23 am
I agree brink link is the best place to buy Lego’s for a cheaper price. I have looked on Ebay and Amazon. Brink link is by far the best place to go.
October 19th, 2012 at 11:02 am
Hello!
I went to Bricklink to buy some wheels, but I almost made the mistake of buying the wrong ones.
Problem is that there are 2 (model team) type wheels that look the same but are NOT.
And ALL the wheels that are on that site have: Wheel 30mm D. x 13mm
Im looking for the ORIGINAL Wheel 13 x 24 (13 x 24 Model Team without the .D) that are found in various sets like the Rally Van.
If anybody knows where I can find these original wheels in bulk, I will appreciate it.
October 19th, 2012 at 11:07 am
Have you contacted the seller? Maybe they’ll let you ship them back, or maybe it wouldn’t be worth it based on what you paid for them.
The best way to make sure you have the right part is to use the Bricklink set inventory to find the parts you want based on the set number of the set that you know the part is in, and then from there try to find a seller who has the same part.
October 26th, 2012 at 8:00 pm

Thanks
December 18th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
I started a Lego program at the after-school program where I teach. We could really use more bulk bricks/parts for free-building. I’m hoping to find a source for large quantities of lower-quality Legos — scratched, dirty, etc. is fine.
I’ve spent over $2,000 on BrickLink over the last few years, but those pieces go into kits and specialized projects. With shipping costs, it seems like most of the stuff on BrickLink is still too pricey for an unstructured classroom environment. A few years ago, I found a boy who sold me his Lego collection (which filled two large trash bags) through Craig’s List for $50, but nowadays similar collections are going for upwards of $100.
Any suggestions?
December 19th, 2012 at 7:36 am
Is your program associated with a nonprofit organization? If so you might be able to get people to make donations (either cash or used LEGO parts) to support the program.

We are part of a nonprofit, but with the current economic climate any money goes to help keep the whole program afloat! However I could try to start a Lego-donation campaign….

Dear Bill,
I am start a school of lego building, when we invite younger lego builders who are just starting out and teach them everything they need to know. They will also have tons of time to let there imaginations go crazy and build whatever they need to do. So, Bill, Can you give some some advice on what I should do?
