Hmmm. I am just wandering here. I buy mostly from Bricklink. Is it better to buy sets? Or should I just keep on buying from BrickLink?

Sets can be great to learn official techniques. Also great way to bulk ones collection fast. However bricklink is a great resource for buying multiples of one or several parts you need. Its really up to what you want to do. Curt

BTW not sure this is were I should ask, but do any of you know of a good bricklink store for minifig parts and accessories(in the US)? Mistress Melanie's Dungeon is spectacular. I always use her if I can. One thing to remember about bricklink stores it to make sure and, look at the reviews. Find out how good the store really is. also one thing that can help is if you can find somebody in your state to buy from that way shipping isn't very high. That cuts down on cost and, you get you package faster. link: www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Melanie01&itemID=27429838

Great quick shipping and everything was wrapped so nicely. I too would suggest thi. They do well to re-stock their castle parts frequently.

BTW do either of you know of a great store for castle pieces? Bricks universe is my Lego store on Bricklink. However, it might not be the closest best store for you to use. My advice would be to go to the state option, and find a big store in your home state if you can. Also make sure and, check the reviews. I would say any store that has about 1000 good reviews is gonna be super dependable. If there are more than 10 bad reviews you should definitely check out what the disgruntled customers have to say. Hope this helped! Cheers!!

BTW do either of you know of a great store for castle pieces? Well ... It all depend on how YOU would like to grow your collection. Many of the more "mature" builders go to bricklink looking for duplicates of specific parts. I usually have a list of parts I want and will often go through the list and see if any one particular seller has several of the lots I'm looking for at decent prices. Do make sure and check to see where the store is based out of, because no matter what ... shipping will always get you! Hope this helps, Don D PS -- If the price seems to good to be true ... than it probably is. Read the fine print!
