PAB Cups: What Did You Get?

Recommended Posts

Bought two large cups from Disneyland Paris LEGO store in December, when I came home I lost the cups - thought that I left them in the hotel or something. Today, I found them in a hidden slot of the suitcase that I used. I am not very good at packing the cups so you will all think that I could have got a lot more in there but here we go:

Better at hiding the cups themselves :D

I just made my first trip to the PAB wall buying 3 large cups for £30.60 and packed in 4550 small vegetation, palm leaves, green headlight bricks, green hinges and 1x1 clear and clear blue pieces.

The S@H cost of the parts would be about £425. :)

I think I will be going back for some more......

Nice "green haul"! Based on the PAM teasers, I think some of those are parts that will come in a future model so a little patience and we'll spam our cups with curved slopes.

I used to live 10 minutes away from the nearest LEGO store and now I am 2 hours to the North. I miss that store :sad::cry_sad::sing::cry2::cry3:

I hardly had any hinges (plates + bricks) or brackets, so it was great to be able find these at a PAB wall. I don't mind that most of the parts were in green, they should be useful for some future project.

The odd pink plates and tiles I picked up because it had occurred to me that I had absolutely no bricks in that colour in my collection, and it's always nice to have a few extra parts of a different colour.

I've had lots of black hinge plates but never seen green one available. I may need to go there and see if Troy store got anything nice.

Last week-end, I was in luck, There was the piece I am using the most:

1x1 Bricks with stud on side in light blueish grey.

I may have been a bit over my head as I filled nearly half of a large cup with those.

Other than that, I took a few headlight bricks in green, 2x2 plates in yellow, 2x2 tiles in yellow, Palm Tree tops, 1x1 round tiles in light blueish grey.

Sweet. Can't wait til I hit the Lego store today, looks like there'll be plenty of hinges, plates, SNOT bricks, and curved plates in green to make some trains. Now if only I had some driver wheels and more cars.

red 1x2 tiles

dark red 1x2 bricks (I see these since my first trip to that store years ago, each time I take a few)

tan 1x2 plates (they were not on the wall, I asked if they had 1x2 plates in grey or similar color, that was all that they had in stock)

I updated the list on http://www.brickbuil...b/side/off/107/ but it is not easy since the site has a few bugs, and missing parts & pics.

Has anyone seen all those green pieces or the grey 1x1 with stud on the side, on any wall in the US?

Me neither. Those are some sweet green parts! I could use a full cup each of those 1x2 tan plates and the 1x1 gray with side stud.

I should have taken more of the bricks with stud... I hope they'll still be there next time I go to the store.

Signed up just to post this, I actually had more individual pieces but the lid sprung right back at me and I almost dropped the whole container luckily I only dropped the top stack of orange 2x3 bricks and they were easy to stack back in there.

I think I did OK for the first time stacker. The suggested example asked me to stack 2x4's 3 high, but there was no way you could get that pass the register, so I stacked 2x4, 2x4, and 2x3 on highest ring. If I could do 3 high, I guess I could get 76 2x4 bricks and non 2x3's.

Total 252 pcs, cost $10 including tax.

I really love 2x4's but I wish they had 2x8's so I could just stack them on the first ring instead of 2 high 2x4's.

Still waiting on my LEGO store to get those slopped green pieces, would be great for some MOC's. Last week my store had some dark bley boxes and some 6x12 green plates. I don't normally go for large pieces, but thought it was worth it.

Wow, that's a lot of eyes, what are you planning to do with those, as well as those orange tooth/ear type of pieces. I alwaus used those as fillers.

Does anyone know where can I find lego storage bricks for less than retail price of unreasonable $30?

I'm not sure yet but they are small parts that I had to order for projects before. This should save me from having to ever order them again.

Went to the Lego store in Oberhausen, Germany on friday. Second time I was at a Lego store (there's none near where I live, unfortunately), first time I filled a PAB cup. Looking back, I kinda wish I had filled two, but I also bought the Kwik-E-Mart and spent a lot of money on Bricklink this month for a new MOC, so I felt that that was enough Lego purchases for the time being :laugh:

Here's what I got (one large cup):

18830165660_622179a302_c.jpg

64x light bluish grey tile 2x2

22x light blusih grey plate 2x12

22x light bluish grey slope 2x2x2

20x light bluish grey plate 2x2

15x light bluish grey brick 2x6

9x light bluish grey tile with control pattern print

3x light bluish grey slope 2x2

1x light bluish grey brick 1x1

1x light bluish grey plate 1x10

34x white grille brick 1x2

30x white jumper plate 2x2

2x white door

6x white 1x4x3 window frame

34x dark bluish grey brick 1x2

15x dark bluish grey inverted slope 2x2

2x dark bluish grey brick 2x4

1x dark bluish grey plate 4x4

33x tan log brick 1x2

15x tan tile 2x2

4x tan plate 2x4

2x tan plate 2x6

6x green bracket 1x2 - 1x2

6x green plant

3x green brick 1x4

8x gold cone 1x1

2x gold grille 1x2

3x trans-red cone 1x1

3x trans-red round brick 1x1

1x transparent brick without support 1x2

8x lime green brick 1x2

12x reddish brown log brick 1x2

8x black plate 4x8

395 pieces in total. Considering I got a lot of large plates and 15 2x6 bricks, I think I did quite well, even though I got confused during packing - I wanted to get more of the dark bley 4x4 plates and light bley 2x2 slopes, but thought I already had packed some of them in... *d'oh*. I also woud've gotten more of the black 4x8 plates, but the 8 I got were all that were left.
