Bricklinking Vs. buying original set

[IronFish]

I want set 9493, because X-Wings are awesome, but it came out during a time when I didn't have any money, so I looked up online, and the cheapest I found disassembled (because building it is half the fun) was $68 not counting shipping from Switzerland. I just wanted to know if it would be cheaper to bricklink the parts, as I have tons of rebel pilots, I don't care about minifigures. thanks!

I would buy the parts. What you could do is download the LFX of it, run it through LDD Manager, and see how much it would cost in BrickLink. Even better, if you used Brickficiency, combinations of stores would be made for you. I'd try this out and see what happens.

yeah, that's what I was thinking, I had the older X-Wing (2005 I think) but it broke, so I already have 50% of the parts necessary. I'll go through my collection and see what I can get together, then get what I don't have. Edited May 16, 2015 by IronFish
