Are there any official current Lego sets with many flat tiles and small plates of varying sizes and colors? I just want to collect as many as possible for MOCing.

Thanks!

Most modular sets will have them. But if you're just looking for tiles and plates, Bricklink might be a cheaper option.

I suppose those work, but the minecraft stuff is really expensive IMHO. I've found Creator sets to work fairly well when you need a lot of pieces. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=122068&colorID=0 might work.

I know its a fairly expensive set but the Kwik E mart has a fair amount of tiles in

Just go to Bricklink and create a wanted list for the pieces you would like to have,

and then check which store is the one that has the most of the pieces on your wanted list compared to other stores.

Since you're expressing interest in plates and tiles, you may want to do that instead of buying a set. It'll be cheaper.

It may also be worth comparing with B&P and PaB on the Lego site, they are usually below 10 cents each.

When I had to buy a large amount of 2x2 white tiles, it was cheaper than Bricklink. Same for when I later bought 1x2 l.b.grey plates.

The Simpsons House has a lot of tiles in several colors as well.

You didn't mention your location, but if you live in an area with a LEGO Brand retail store, Pick A Brick wall is a good way to accumulate various tiles and plates without a lot of other pieces you don't need or have to sell off. It would be the cheapest per new piece route. It could be time consuming if you want to pack as many as possible into a the PAB Cup.

This is the way to go.

Tiles and plates in common colors are also sold in bulk by some sellers, so you can accumulate lots of pieces relatively cheap.

Yeah, the Pick-A-Brick wall is the best way to go in my opinion. Sometimes there's a bit of a limited selection, and it's generally more common/"in vogue" pieces that they have (for instance, extra pink tiles for Friends, tires and wheels for City, etc.), but if that's what you're looking for, it's hard to go wrong.

By the way, this topic reminds that I've got 50-100 of those 1x2 tiles with the guages on them lying around. Just be careful at the PAB wall, as you might wind up with a bunch of stuff you didn't need and will never use.

Architecture line.

Mr. Adam Reed Tucker would yell at me if he saw I posted this...but they are some of the best parts packs out there!!!

In my opinion.

I know I'm kinda rezzing an older topic, but it's an option that no one has posted this answer to. Depending on which sets, there are some fantastic color combinations and smaller parts, plates, tiles...worth it!

Could not agree more. Also Architecture sets tend to go at a discount at some points. Bought recently the Lincoln memorial 50% off. It was a perfect way to get a large number of round plates with holes and 3L bars. As a matter of fact, these 3L bar covered the price of the entire set using BrickLink average sale price.

The only thing is that Architecture sets tend to be very expensive for the size of the pieces involved. Of course it all depends on what you specifically need and discounts available.
