This is useful because you can order any brick in production.  Limitations are that you cannot order bricks that are out of production, and fulfillment times are often 10-15 business days for large orders.2) Fax an order to LEGO.  The LinkedIn logo required over 5,000 blue 2x8 bricks as the primary component of the construction.  For large, detailed orders you can call the LEGO store at 1-800-835-4386, and they will give you a fax number for the order.  Unfortunately, fulfillment times here depend on brick type - I ended up waiting 6-7 weeks for some components of the order.  Also, LEGO seems to have no concept of shipping notifications or tracking for orders placed this way.3) Local LEGO stores "Pick a Brick". I used both the Valley Fair and Hillsborough stores to acquire bricks at times.  You can buy bricks three ways: a small cup for $7.99, a large cup for $14.99, and an entire box for $70.  As you can imagine, you are somewhat limited by your ability (or patience) in terms of cramming different brick types into containers. 

Most clerks will tell you that you can't buy bricks by the box - they are mistaken.  Ask to talk to a manager, and they will sell you a box, but only if they have more than one in the back.  They are not allowed to sell "the last box."The biggest limitation of this approach is that not only do stores not stock all brick types or colors, they also have no ability to "special order" Pick-a-Brick bricks.  They get fulfillment once a week, and have no control over which bricks they receive.  The trick is to call ahead, and be flexible with your design to adapt to the bricks they do have.4) Bricklink.  For example, getting 20-30 small 1x2 tiles to finish off the base edges of the lettering.  Bricklink is relatively slow on fulfillment, and it's common to get bricks that are discolored by age or cleaning.  This means they may not match other orders of a similar brick.  It's also very hard to get large orders of many brick types & colors.Overall, for the LinkedIn in LEGO project I purchased approximately 12,000+ bricks. 

8,000 I was able to get over 7-8 weeks from a Fax order to LEGO.  /) and click on "Buy Lego." BrickLink is a kind of Craigslist for Lego bricks -- you can get pretty much any kind ever made, in any color it was made in./PAB/ Prices aren't great but they are actually roughly about the same as what you would pay in a boxed set.Welcome to Toy Brick Brigade Toy Brick Brigade has over a million individual new and used LEGO parts including many rare parts and bulk quantities of new and/or used LEGO parts. Whether you’re planning the ultimate project or just looking for that one last hard-to-find LEGO part to finish your masterpiece, shop Toy Brick Brigade. We have just launched our new store! – come on by to checkout our selection! Visit Toy Brick Brigade often as we are constantly adding to our inventory of over a million LEGO parts.In the customer service section of the LEGO Shop at Home website, go to “Bricks and Pieces” and “I want to buy a piece”. This section lets you call up a part number or set number and see the list of parts.

You can order up to 200 of at least 10 types at a time of whichever parts are in stock, albeit at a price that is higher than the mean price in sets. What you gain in direct applicability to your model, you pay for in higher price per piece. first to compare prices because new parts can be either cheap or expensive. Sometimes the lack of availability or the high price on Bricklink means that the Shop at Home option is most convenient.I have made a couple of orders for my BB-8 Droid. In some cases I wanted a higher quantity of a piece than Bricklink could offer. If you take into account your time in making multiple orders, the convenience of a single source of new parts can work out cheaper overall.If you want gears, axles and pins then normal Technic kits have loads of them. Motors would be bought individually as Power Functions items from LEGO Shop at Home. I would usually go for new motors or other complex functional elements because I know their history. In quite a few locally-sourced 2nd hand lots I’ve had in the past, it seems the owners may have lost interest when the motors burned out.

I found it tricky to get pneumatic parts or belts from LEGO Shop customer services; they always show as “out of stock”. LEGO Education may be a better source of belts as those kits use them more. I look at the latest sets containing pneumatics for those parts.At the moment the Bucket Wheel Excavator 42055 has a large selection of parts for a reasonable price. £180 for almost 4000 parts works out at 4.5p/piece, a lot cheaper than individual parts from LEGO Shop at Home, so a couple of those for the bulk and fewer specific orders might be the cheapest way to do it. You may also find a discount of up to 20% in toy retailers at this time of year (October) because toy retailers make most of their sales in the run up to Christmas.I suggest Bricklink for the cheapest route, but have fun searching through the categories of Technic pieces, as they do have multiple names and can be considered different things. and click on the Bricks and Pieces tab, where you can independently order however many pieces you need, it’ll be slightly more expensive than Bricklink, but it seems better to find the parts.
