I recently went to the lego store and have never really bought bricks off the PAB wall. As a newcomer to buying peices for my own creations, what tips do you guys have for buying off the wall? I got a large cup of just random pieces (Ive heard large bins are better priced) that I think I could use and that was my only guide really. But do any of you have any past experience or wisdom to share?
Some questions I have are:
1) How does lego decide what pieces to put on the wall?
2) Are pieces off the PAB a good deal or is it better online at like the online pick a brick or brick link?
3) Is USD $16 a large cup too expensive?
4) Are there bricks in the really high up containers lol? I couldn't even look all the way up there.
5) What time do you guys go to the store? This is kinda weird but when i go there, there are so many kids running around and its usually pretty hot and im trying to figure out what to get.
6) How often do they change what pieces are on the wall?
7) Essentially is the pick a brick wall the most effective way to get lego pieces for your creations?
For now buying the boxes of pieces stores sometimes sell is not really necessary for me as I am not building such large things currently.
