Inconspicuous Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Shop@Home is a conspicuous choice, but the second best is definitely Bricklink.com. Otherwise, I would reccomend Ebay, but the stuff there is usually auctioned, which involves more timing and strategy.
Grimmy Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I don't know what you need them for but if you are asking for lots of Legos on this forum then my guess is that you already know about the usual places and are looking for cheap priced deals. I myself just got back into Lego over a month or so ago and need lots of random Lego bricks. The cheapest place I've found to get them is on Craigslist. Other then that, you can try eBay. Like someone else mentioned, timing and strategy will tell you what deal you get. They usually go for $5 to $10 US a pound. $5 is usually regular Legos while $10 can be a mix of exclusive licenses for example you may see a listing that says, "20 pound lot of Legos various mix Harry Potter, Star Wars, & more." Just watch the market and you will get an idea for prices. Their is someone who sells used Legos that she sanitizes very well multiple times. Then their is another regular seller that sells a mix of regular Legos and Star Wars. I think the person buys tubs of regular Legos and multiple Millinium Falcons, and mixes them together for a nice mix then sells in numbers such as 750+ pieces. I personally have not bought any yet but I've been meaning to. Just been so busy buying and building sets with my 6yrs old niece. I have gotten great deals on craigslist for sets.
brickzone Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Best bulk deals I have got have been ebay. It is worth scrutinising photos as you may be able to determine the types of pieces on offer or even what sets might be in the mixed bulk lot. Things I would look out for are new colours (often means newer Lego generally - possibly even very recent) and not too many large pieces. Brick and plate are the most versatile additions I think, followed by miscellaneous small pieces. One thing to look out for with this tactic is sellers who show a photo of a HUGE mountain of Lego, or specific pile of Lego, but are selling random 0.5 kg lots. I recommend always translate as well (not so important for US buyers who go for US only) - I once accidentally bought a glued together display model after relying on a cursory glance at the German description. If you can afford it and you really need a lot of Lego, you are probably going to get better value with the huge lots (>€100/10 kg) as these attract less attention (only of interest to those wanting to spend a lot on mixed Lego, or else shop resellers). Some of these are fantastic as they can in fact be an entire Lego collection being sold at once. Shipping will of course be a major concern then (here in Europe, Germany is mostly the option I would consider sensible as they have reasonable courier prices - some options UK sellers choose can be expensive - anyone relying on standard post also is limited to 2kg packages). My brother started his AFOL collection with a giant ebay lot (8kg I think) and early on I bought a kilo or two of mixed Lego also (specifically smaller parts). Last year I bought a mixed lot that included King's Castle Siege minus minifigs. I bought this simply on the basis of the dark green plates and certain other parts I saw in the photos.
