Episode 7 - How to Get Road Plates at a Bargain for Your Lego City

[@SiliconSicilian]

I've also found some deals at Walmart from time to time which works out to less than Brinklink.

[@jasonoswald6076]

No more fake hints give me real search results.

[@Gwakari]

Now I calculated it and here in Europe it is definitely not worth it. Still better to buy complete 60304 set.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

That is interesting how it can vary from market to market.

[@thegreenbrick]

Great deal! It is annoying how many extra ramps are given in those packs. We need more road and tiles.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Couldn’t agree more. They are nice if you are connecting to the old road system or for kids playing. However for most AFOL I think they serve little to no purpose.

[@ElectricianTS]

Use the ramps as rooftops. I actually ran out of the ramps before the road plates. I use the road plates as platforms and baseplates for buildings. I still use the normal road plates.

[@scourgie6453]

Sorry😊

[@johnowens4334]

Wow this is wise. I just bought some the ole fashion way and thought there has got to be a better way. Thank you for the great advice. I liked and subscribed to you for it. Now to order more plates and watch more of your videos😊

[@PaPasBricks]

Great deal. Have you thought about lifting the road plates up some to meet up with the MILS plates

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Yes that is part of the plan, I just haven’t got around to it. Probably once I finish mils plating the last few buildings I need to retrofit, I will get it done.

[@IwashereSUI]

Thanks man I just got 100 road plates with tiles and they worked awesome! Thanks Steve

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Excellent! Glad you found it useful. Hopefully you saved a bit of money (to spend on other Lego of course). Thanks for watching.

[@IwashereSUI]

@@jasonsbricksin5 yep lol

[@howardb.6205]

Dude.... *10k views!* That's cool man!

[@Robles2891]

I have never thought of this bro nice find !😂😂😂👌🏻

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Yeah I was super excited when I figured it out and had to share. Thanks for watching!

[@johngarrettlegofireguy6885]

It's only great until people start buying them up.nice deal,get them while you can.👍😁

[@jasonsbricksin5]

This is very true. I guess it’s just a simple supply and demand. The one thing that I think helps keep supply up is that the road plates come in most city sets. So when parting out those sets they will be there and I think it is a Lego piece that has a relatively small other uses. But who knows. Thanks for watching.

[@joshg5543]

So I was on bricklink. I'm new to lego. I wasn't really seeing any good deals on the plates. It still seems the better deal is getting the lego set with the lamps and street lights. What price point is good if buying in bulk?

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Well it has been a while since I bought them but when I made the video I think I paid about $1 a piece. I just checked bricklink and filtered it to US sellers with a min quantity of 20 and you are are right, there currently isn’t anything available that seem worth it. There are sellers with 1 or 2 that are a good deal, so if you are placing an order for other pieces you could add a few here and there. Hopefully it’s just a temporary issue with sellers not having inventory. Before I released the video there were only 466 pieces sold in 42 lots sold in Aug 2022. In the months after the video was released the pieces sold were as many as 3165 in 271 lost sold. I’m not saying my video did this as it could be a coincidence, but it may have had some impact on it. Sorry I guess you may need to buy the pack at this time if you need larger quantities.

[@joshg5543]

Thanks man. I appreciate the reply. I will keep an eye out on the market. I definitely want more road plates in the future.

I’ll be an office subscriber 😊

[@arnymon9340]

Thanks man for awesome tip!

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching

[@cabbageguy734]

Are they still the Lego brand?

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Yes they are the same plates that come in the road packs. Many city sets come with the road plate and when bricklink sellers part out a set, that is one of the pieces they sell. So if all you need is the toad plate and not all the other things that come in the road plate set it works well to lower costs.

This poor guy deserves way more subscribers, I just found him but I’ve already subscribed

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Thank you for the compliment. Honestly I’m a little surprised how many people have shown interest in my videos. I am so grateful for everyone who watches and hope they find something useful or entertaining in what we do. Thanks for subscribing.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

@Sam B I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@SORGIGERMANICO]

A lot of these Lego builders need more subs considering it's a hot thing supposedly. I agree though for sure

[@mysixthscaleobsession]

That’s a great hack, thanks for the idea! I’m definitely gonna do that for my city

[@ben_nerf_lego]

I will be a subscriber❤

[@josephd27]

Nice cheaper price

[@jasonsbricksin5]

With the cost of Lego, we will take any advantage we can right?

[@kylelopez629]

Dc I have two already

[@mrparkerdan]

can you provide a link to the bricklink page where you got this deal?

[@jasonsbricksin5]

I have updated the description for the video to include the four main parts of the road pack. You can use that to search a deal on road plates based on your region and quantity. Good luck.

[@EricDBruce]

bump

[@KennethR-xo4kn]

If you ask me I think these new road plates are rubbish, as I won't purchase any sets with these fake baseplates.... I began purchasing Technic sets to replace my city/town sets. New baseplates 👎👎👎

[@Sadler_bricks]

Very nice indeed a good display and video. Sadler_bricks
