"When I was 9, I couldn't afford that $110 Lego set". Picture of a Lego pirate ship. "But now I'm an adult. I think I shall buy it.". Looking at a newspaper. Ebay listing of that Lego set priced at $19,089. Confused look on their face

    That one is easy to build as long as you don't mind shelling out $60 for sails and a yellow parrot. Every other brick in there is super cheap.

    Is there a way to buy the pieces on bricklink without individually adding each piece to a cart? It feels like there should be a button for that, but I can’t figure it out.

    Like buy all the parts from a set? Yes it does that!

    Like buy individual pieces? Yes it does that also!

    Which one were you asking about?

    Like a whole set, say the one that was linked. I saw they had used sets for sale, wondering how it compares to buying all the pieces and self assembling.

    So when you're on BrickLink look for a link that says "Part out." There should be two of them, one under a heading that says, "My Store Inventory," and one that says, "My Wanted List." This is the one you want. Click that link and follow the instructions. That should work. If it doesn't let me know because I know there is a way to make it work!!

    I was gifted this by a family friend as a kid. It was super fun. My brothers had this and a castle. Now the parts are mixed in across 2 buckets of Lego that I've rescued from my parent's storage room last year and kept for my kids.the cycle continues.

    I hate keeping sets together.

    All my sets get built, enjoyed, then completely disassembled and mixed into a big bin for all the fun of making our own creations.

    I keep the build manuals. So I can rebuild them again if I ever wanted to. But the fun is in the building, not the having of completed sets.

    We donated two big boxes of assorted lego accumulated throughout the 80s and 90s to an orphanage and young me was all feeling good and holy but old me is like fuck them kids I want my legos back.

    Edit: they also got our Commodore 64 and there is no way those little freaks knew how to use it

    Every kid who owned this set tried to take it into the bathtub and realized immediately that it did not float 😅

    But it was mesmerizing seeing the sub par build start leaking and slowly fill with water and you wondered how much it would take before sinking to the bottom

    Funny how some of our best memories in life come from inside a bathtub
