murphy_slaw Posted May 1, 2016 My Lego collection is assembled from a bunch of my old sets from when I was a kid, some Classic creative boxes, and some mixed used lots that I bought locally. These all have one thing in common: very few minifigures! I build mostly Space, Town, and Fantasy/Castle MOCs. Is there any inexpensive way to assemble a bunch of minis for populating MOC layouts if I'm not too picky about getting specific figures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted May 1, 2016 You could buy in bulk from Ebay or Bricklink (I would recommend that for space, since it's off the shelves right now), or you could buy a city "starter set", which contains four figs for $10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Actor Builder Posted May 1, 2016 I guess the "Cheapest Way" would be to steal them from someone. The "Cheapest Legal Way", which is recommended, is something like what Mister BrickJagger said. Buy in bulk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Modelmaker Posted May 1, 2016 Check your local classified adds for bulk lots of lego, often you will find a lot of minifigs or minifig parts in the lot, my last lot (posted on here) cost €40 and had 30 or 40 minifigs in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty new to bricklink. Is there a way to find "bulk lots", or by "bulk" do you just mean ordering lots of figs from the same shop to save on shipping?

Both, really. I don't use Bricklink too often but I'm sure you could find a bulk lot if you searched for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arigomi Posted May 2, 2016 If you aren't in a hurry, wait for 60134-1: Fun in the Park: City People Pack to be released later this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Actor Builder Posted May 2, 2016 You're not the best at giving advice, right? Well notice I did say that the "Cheapest Legal Way" was the recommended one. I can't recommend anyone steal stuff; That's not nice! But it is cheapest. Not nice, but pretty dang cheap. But no, I'm really not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted May 2, 2016 Ebay is great for picking out lots of figures. It is pricey to get popular figures, but a lot of people simply selling off their kids/their childhood collection simply list a number of mixed figures. Most of them are not the "official" figures that came in a set, but the parts are easy to mix'n'match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nantucketdink Posted May 3, 2016 100 mixed minifigures for about $25 on ebay from China would be a very cheap way to get populated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legoguy1984 Posted May 3, 2016 There are also the educational packs of minifigs. Can be precey but per minifig the price seems wort it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
