Is Bricklink cheaper than Pick-A-Brick? I never thought it was, but then again I've not yet used either of them.

I bought a bulk of about 500 tan 1X2 bricks on BrickLink a while ago for about $40 USD; Pick-A-Brick runs at about $0.15 USD per 1X2 brick, so that's about $75 USD for 500. That's a pretty big difference; its because the LEGO company is greedy and only cares about making more money (especially these days, notice how most of their big themes are unoriginal and from movies?). The only good way to get bulk LEGO bricks for a cheap price is the Pick-A-Brick wall at the back of their stores. Otherwise it's not worth buying parts from LEGO, the cost is way too high.

Wow I feel nerdy, I actually looked all that up mini/tongue Well hopefully these statistics will help someone!

Thanks for that. I'm never sure about sites like Bricklink... they seem almost dodgy, being unofficial. I'll give it a look-see.

Re: Café Corner

Well, from my experiences, Bricklink has proved a resourceful, cheap, easy-to-use website that has sufficed my needs. It's fantastic if you're looking to buy a lot of bricks without it being to expensive, or even to buy a set - although if you're looking to buy a singular minifigures you might want to have a decent budget.

Speaking of which, I'll hopefully be ordering 2,000 studs for cobbles in a MOC I'm working on - half dark blay and half light blay. And for a mere 40 Euro it's a great offer, IMO.

Either you have massive writing and you leave lots of space or you wrote loads!

Remember its quality over quantity.

Re: Café Corner

Just thought I'd pop back here, see if you guys are all okay. For those of you who don't remember me, I've been away for... A long time. To put that in perspective, Cafe Corner has grown by around 100 pages.
Well, it seems like a long time, though it's probably only around 3 or 4 months.

Pfeh! There's next to no signs over here! Seriously, it's often a problem - try going to Kerry and you'll know what I mean. Where'd you go? Btw, for anyone who's interested, I might be doing a Dublin brickfilmers meet-up for those of Ireland and those who wish to come and see their fellow animators.
