Tutorial: How To Use Bricklink to Purchase Parts

[@brettjordan88ful]

bro thank you so much it was DAUNTING messing around with bricklink as a first timer

[@steelred3843]

Exactly

[@theweirdoneyt1960]

Same I was like hmmm so I search up what I want okay huh I searched Star Wars I’m on minecraft wait what I’m at Africa now

[@wellardme]

What an amazing tutorial!! Nice one! I'm 43 and have so got into all this! I want to make a huge Lego train diorama so I'm going build trains)

[@andrewramero4560]

PLEASE READ TO SAVE MONEY! I typically check the "lots below wanted quantity" because it can merge many stores lots if one store doesn't have enough of one piece. For example(applies to any piece), I am building a MOC, and I am ordering a bunch of pieces. Within this order, I want 40 grey palm tree trunks. If I didn't select "LOTS BELOW QTY," I would only have one store that has 40 in stock and it would select that store. BUT, that store has the prices jacked up. Causing the money to add up. NOW, if I select "LOTS BELOW QTY," I it will try and find the smallest number of stores that have all that you want in your want list. Say it selects 4 stores that each have ten of the palm trunks and all of the other pieces I need. Now I don't have to pay shipping for another store that has all 40 of the pieces. This does however doesn't work all the time and sometimes it only gets 97%-99% of the bricks. What I find works is that I will have to spend more on other stores that have the pieces, and I almost always works out because I get to buy more legos that the original stores don't offer. TLDR: LOTS BELOW QTY is helpful for if you are buying just one piece type and just trying to get the legos in your want list, but if you are buying lots for many different types pieces, it is best to select the LOTS BELOW QTY.

[@pinu1166]

Thank you for the tip. I believe you missed a NOT in the last line... " if you are buying lots for many different types pieces, it is best "NOT" to select the LOTS BELOW QTY."

[@coolpro6611]

Pro tip: Buy from someone from your country makes the shipping cost way smaller then from anothet country

[@Mod3Red]

Thanks, that was very helpful - I only needed a few bricks for some mods but was initially put off by the site, now seems so easy!

[@AllOutBrick]

Glad I could help!

[@Kiwi__YT]

Chur my ghee Good tutorial my brother, every single step was explained so perfectly haha really set me back to when my dad taught me how to ride my bike for the first time

[@abesteak]

I wanted a rebuplic gunship, but it's so expensive. Now it's like nothing thank you so much. :)

[@SzoltS1]

How? The least I can get the individual parts for is 160dollar, which is still almost twice as its original price, and I can almost buy one with minifigures

[@abesteak]

@@SzoltS1 Yeah it's still expensive but it's so much cheaper if you dont want the figs and your location makes it cheaper or more expensive cuz of shipping. I can get one no figs for about 120$ still expensive but better than like 300$. :))

[@nellucthegreat]

Yeah, that's pretty good especially considering inflation and all that

[@ericalitts]

Thank you so very much! This was so informative I am so grateful!!!

[@CommandoBrickLEGOstarwars]

thanks so much man! this helps

[@yeetfeet1878]

I was going to order a Shazam, Martian manhunter, and cyborg minifigure but didn’t know how to use bricklink. Thank you so much for this!

[@potatoanimations9982]

They’re kinda expensive

[@yeetfeet1878]

@@potatoanimations9982 I know. Ever since trying out bricklink I love it. I will definitely be using it to get more Harry Potter lego figures and others of course

[@benjidouglas5647]

Thanks so much it really helped me out

[@dev8365]

Thank you! Now I can get bricks for my LEGO city!

[@coolcat122]

I think your Lego city will be awesome. I realised the date but. I think you’d have a great Lego city

[@vaimantobe3034]

I never use 'auto-select' as it keeps making me buy from so many stores the shipping costs drive you out of business. Instead I usually try to buy the most from a single store, try out some combinations, and move everything left to a new list with the remaining pieces. I usually plan around the more expensive and/or rare parts and try to catch as many as possible in as few stores for as good a ptice as possible. The result is that I usually get everything with minimal shipping costs.

[@Retrogamepak]

Is there an option to click to buy from fewer stores?

[@dmg194]

this was very helpful

[@leopardduck4490]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to build an entire set using only BrickLink parts? I attempted to do this with a Lego set but the cost ended up being hundreds of dollars because there was an individual shipping cost on almost every single group of pieces I bought because there were so many different retailers.

[@kershy09]

Thank you so much I’m trying to get my hands on a jabba the hut fig and I’ve had no luck on eBay

[@GoruposStudios]

it is possible to buy and ship it to mexico?

[@luiscastillo7812]

Hello, I have a question, is there any way to track my order since the seller did not give me a tracking number and I have no idea where it is and I do not know if it arrived in my country.

[@Kociarz_Studios]

Very helpful video Thank You a lot!

[@aidancprailrailwaystuffeng4612]

will it give you a notification that its been shipped

[@Pindasaus]

All the sets I tried are more expensive as individual blocks? Am I doing something wrong?

[@shaggyhascancer4489]

Can you buy 1 or 2 individual pieces or do you have to buy in bulk or does it depend on the seller?

[@AllOutBrick]

It does depend on the seller. Some sellers have no minimum purchase limits and others do. Sellers with no limit would absolutely allow for minimal purchases

[@advaitlotlikar6940]

You should deserve more subscribers for this information BTW i just want to ask you that does orders from Russia deliver safely on BrickLink.

[@bryoncattran8536]

What if you were trying to make your own creation what are some suggestions don’t you have like if I want to build my own style drop ship

[@riderboi2417]

Will it ship to India???

[@lukasjetu9776]

nobody: nothing me: let's look at a random tutorial in 23:06 (11:06pm)

[@louiedotjpeg4350]

I just want to sell a minifigure, I probably won’t use bricklink ever again, can I do that?

[@pauleinstein6542]

Great video . the partlist shows all the parts you say and then you scroll down (min5.50) but the total number of parts is not seen on top of the page. When i upload a partlist it shows (in my case 741 items) The maximum is 100 parts/page. I don't want to buy all of them, just what i need. I click on it and click buy parts at the bottom of the page. Then i get the stores who have it, but not the cheapest price. Of course once the first page is done i do the same with page 2, 3 ...Each time it shows the shops that have example 6 or 5 parts that i want. Problem. The selected items in previous pages and shops are gone. How can i merge those pages into one. I would find it easier having the whole list, selecting what i want and clicking on buying , instead of those pages with each time 100 items . Any help at all is welcome;

[@Shamancat77]

I want to be able to see how much it costs is that possible?

[@carsonkruger7140]

how long dos it normely etimate for shiping to take

[@AllOutBrick]

It depends on your seller. The larger ones tend to be a consistent 2-5 days

[@AlejandroMartinez-wk3hd]

I have a question, this is my first time buying legos online and I know that I need a paypal account but do I create a bussines account or a personal account?

[@AllOutBrick]

Personal is fine if it's for your personal use

[@simri_kim]

Is there a quick button to have multiple projects' "wanted part lists" be combined before calculating the brick cost?

[@vaimantobe3034]

You can go to a list, select everything and move it... Unless parts are duplicated between lists. You'd have to unselect those and combine them manually. The system kind of sucks like that

[@LegoReader12345hello]

Is Bricklink safe as amazon? I just want to know

[@logan_343]

Yes... It's pretty much the Ebay for Lego. And if you ever have issues let the sellers know.

[@potatoanimations9982]

Bricklink is safer

[@ThomVercetti]

I mean, It's owned by Lego

[@RamblingGreek]

So, it's cheaper to just buy a set BRICK BY BRICK instead of by model number?

[@declanng7465]

i think so

[@gabrielcoria8544]

yes. the mini figures drive up the price

[@Quirkalicious_07]

I’m a new buyer and I want to get mini figs that are not made anymore and every time I try to order one it always says I need a code and that minimum buy hasn’t been met I’m rlly confused so if anyone can help that would be great

[@None-c3y]

Me to

[@FlashGamer521]

It just means that some stores only want to ship parts over a certain value. It's just not worth their time to search a warehouse to find and ship a single 20 cent piece.

[@oliverking8142]

can somebody tell me what the '5179/5179 assigned (100%)' means

[@AllOutBrick]

That's indicating that the "Auto Buy" feature has added 5179/5179 (all) of the parts in the carts it created

[@danomatron1331]

i have a question? what if the buy all feature doesnt get all the parts needed and how can i see what parts it cant find?

[@AllOutBrick]

On the left side of your screen you’ll see the “Wanted List” and “Wanted Items” tabs. The Wanted Items will show you what is remaining and the stores listed below the auto-selected ones will only contain those parts that were not auto-selected

Hey I wonder how to make a bsx file of a lego model, because I'd like to use brickstock like you do at the end for a set I'm parting out. Is there a simple way to do it, because when I part out a set on Bricklink and try to download it it's in XML format. Great video by the way, really clear.

[@AllOutBrick]

Rebrickable does allow you to download as a .bsx, but you may want to just double check afterward that the molds are correct, most of the time there's no issues! So my advice would be to get it on Rebrickable and then download from there
