Lego PAB Cup vs NEW Box | How to pack Lego Pick-A-Brick Box

[@legomyeggo77]

You could maybe lay a layer of sideways 1x bricks on top

[@electricbricks2393]

What really interests me is which box has more volume. When you just buy studs in bulk, volume is probably the aspect that matters most.

Im going to london in august i will definitly try adding two more rows

[@darthgbc363]

Try this - 3 stacks of 19 on floor + 4 bricks tall of your method next. That should be 189 2x4 bricks.

[@brianhoover8414]

Or possibly get 2 x 4 plates on top??

[@StudCity]

you can definitely get plates across the top!

[@shapeofsoup]

Yeah, that’s my thought. If you can throw a full layer of plates and then tiles instead of trying to cram in another layer of brick that’s technically overflowing, that would seem well worth it to me, and potentially more efficient than the cup.

Great video christo thanks for the info have a great week

[@StudCity]

Glad you enjoyed it! have a great week!!

[@johnpowell2431]

To really compare you should have taken the bricks out of the box and put them in the cup. It's about total volume. Obviously the box is easier for most pieces because of its square corners as opposed to a round sided cup.

[@deco4k677]

I wonder if you'd be able to fit a few more by staking aideways (as the left and right sides of the box are the smallest area wich would leave the least amount of exposed studs, if any, asuming you also use some plates and maybe tiles)

[@StudCity]

that might be able to get a little extra with no exposed studs but at the end of the day its the same volume

[@legobricksbe]

Great video, can you do the same for tiles and other pieces

[@StudCity]

Yes we can!

[@darthgbc363]

Cool. Thank you. If you lay the 2x4 bricks on their side, the long way. It might be less wasted space. Maybe 7 studs tall x 12 studs deep x maybe 19 bricks wide. I'm guessing by using LEGO math. So, that's 171 2x4 bricks + 19 1x12 bricks. Maybe......

Cool vid! Thanks man! 👍🏼

[@StudCity]

Glad you liked it!

[@MaxBricksYT]

Thanks for this video, very helpful!

Box is better than the cup 😊 Gary from Red Deer, Alberta Canada

[@StudCity]

Im with you!

[@brickpharmer]

@@StudCity Even if the piece count is roughly the same as a cup or slightly less, the time saved by stacking a box is vastly superior to all the shinanigans required to stack a cup

[@bricky_potter7424]

But 1300 1x1 divided by 10 (10ct per piece) would be 130€, wouldn´t it ?

[@StudCity]

correct uf the going rate is $0.10 per 1x1.... however they are $0.07 per piece on the pab lego website. Still a might price.

[@thecollector2843]

El concepto de una caja rectangular es bueno, realmente son menos piezas pero hay un cambio importante a favor de muchos y es el que aveces perdíamos espacio al llevar piezas básicas 1x2 o 4x2 ni hablar de las más largas o las plates 4x8 por ejemplo Lego al usar formas cuadradas tiene más potencial usar un rectángulo como recipiente Lo que veo ilógico es eliminar los recipientes plásticos, digo sé que es por el ambiente pero la lógica también dice que sería mejor una caja que usaré en el futuro para guardar mis piezas (la caja es tan delgada que la desecharemos de inmediato), los vasos no eran muy buenos para eso pero no perdían la posibilidad de ser usados para beber de ellos o guardar las piezas, así que haber que pasa cuando lleguen a todo el mundo

[@StudCity]

I personally love that its no longer a cylinder but like you said, its illogical to move from re usable plastic to thrown away boxes

[@LEGOmania-TV]

Do we know the cost of a box vs a cup ? Do they have large and small boxes Maybe I missed it in the video

[@synjyn901]

Pricing will be the same, according to my local stores, and there are two sizes of the boxes.

[@johnnations5932]

Price per part went up in Germany when they got rid of the cups.

[@LEGOmania-TV]

As of today price in US is same as cups

[@johnnations5932]

Very good video! But i don't only buy bricks. I packed a box today at Hamburg Lego Store and it was boring and annoying. I like special and curved elements, wheels, bars, etc. The cups are way better, last forever, and are see-through. I can't stand the new boxes and this is a bad and sloppy , greedy move by Lego.

[@StudCity]

Love the input John! Fortunately I believe you can still bring your old cups to get pab!

[@Icybear22]

This is the first video that actually helped me so thank you. As a 12-year-old you don't know how you're going to stack these😂😂😂

[@StudCity]

Thank you blue🫡

[@CAJUNAFOL]

The question is will they still let you use your he cups that you already have?

[@synjyn901]

Both of my local stores have said you can still refill your cups after the boxes arrive.

[@shapeofsoup]

Given that their reasoning for this change is environmental, I imagine that’s the idea. Use the cups if you have them, or use the less wasteful and environmentally harmful box.

[@KLUGYYY]

Prick a brick lmaooooooo

[@bobsbits5357]

hi it's down to who you are if they have not seen you in the shop before and it's a new box they in the shop would like to see you again best time is to fill is in the evening at the end of there working day yes the box is better as i can use one at a time put the insides in to my bag once i payed for it tell you what i did i made 8 block to go in each box note there was a new worker he said i bill you for all 8 all 7 had a little more in each one the 8 was right there are tricks to get more in the cups in the day time when kids are at school is the best time to fill them boss tell the worker to keep the big spender happy the cup and box is the same in vol i tested it with fine sand same as the glass ones you turn up side down
