dwong replied to Wonderpants's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Hi Wonderpants, How much did you pay for the set? I haven't see any incomplete set for less than euro $1400 -
Dear Rollermonkey, What are those missing pieces when comparing with Bricklink inventory? Dwong

Post your general LEGO Star Wars questions here
dwong replied to XimenaPaulina's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Hi, I believe many of you seen this awesome built by Titans Creations What caught most of my attention is the cockpit area. The pilot seat is beautifully built but I am not able to identify the element. Here's the most detail photo search from google. Maybe some expert can find out. One more close up.

Hi unhappyeeyore, I've been able to score 3000 pcs for us$0.10/pcs from a single store, sounds ok? This will be my first big order Another 600 pcs will be from B&P at the moment.
-
Hi unhappyeeyore, I did input the min qty in wanted list, this will definitely improve the matching speed, but may not be a fair price because some shop will inventory same parts in different lots. Hi Lobot, "Show All Items this store has on my Wanted List (All Items)" is very useful but not at the mean while. Here's what I did now 1. mark down all price from "Brick & Pieces" 2. mark down min qty in BL wanted list
-
Hi Lobot, How do I know the brick price is reasonable (non-rare piece)?
-
Hi unhappyeeyore, Did you set min Qty in BL want list?
-
Hi Lobot, I have to agree every word you said, this project is epic and not easy to complete. If going to the wrong direction, I will broke my arm/leg to get it done. The most difficult thing is estimate the final cost. Will follow your advice, thanks in advance
-
Hi Lobot, Thank you so much for the advice Been trying to start the project 2 years ago, but failed Yesterday I start another excel spreadsheet, load up 4 local bricklink shop. I could get 50% of all the pieces for us$570, sounds positive? (shipping extra, no many rare pieces) What if order all pieces thru bricks & pieces, find the rest on bricklink?
-
Hi Lobot, How did you break up the orders, what's the rule? The software is only able to match 5 stores
-
Interesting, may ask what are the "usual replacement parts"? What is the total weight?
-
How much to built this ship? I don't have any lego set right now.
-
Hi MinusZwei, I went Lego web site ordering parts, choose "a pieces broke while building" reason type "I lost it" how do I know the cost for each parts?
-
Hi Lobot, Thanks for startup this topic in 2013 ^_^ I did follow every advices you mention on this topic My first attempt (estimate the cost) - source all local country bricklink shop (plus a big shop from overseas), not use combine method, I can complete 192 parts. - total order 7, total cost us$460.00, not include shipping cost yet. My second attempt (estimate the total cost and complexity of combine order) - source all local country bricklink shop, use combine method, it is a lot more complex...... - my excel spread sheet is over 50 columns now - still calculating This project is toooooooooo BIG, and I don't want to spend $2000 at the end. I don't want to give up at the moment, but the shop's inventory is moving, may need to go over each shop again ( 268 items X number of shops )
-
The cost ($1600 include shipping) I am saying is not include the printed radar & grey engine fence. How much did you pay for 4500 parts? What did you do when parts from local country is more expensive than overseas?
-
Hi henning, Do u think $1,600 (maybe more) for a incomplete Falcon is too high? I take a look the DS2 inv. Thanks Also in Bricklink, is it possible to export the prices list from individual shop (under my wanted list) I need some rest cause the non-sleep bricklink for 5 days.
-
Hi harmacy, Is it possible to bricklink ISD or DS2 now? I am so depress, spend 4~5 days to work on the bricklink thing, nothing I can do.
-
I was going to BrickLinking a 10179 after I saw those amazing photos, I logon bricklink, search all parts for 10179, use current lowest prices (not include original radar and engine fence, shipping cost extra) The total is us$1,272.00 I don't think us$300.00 shipping cost can handle this project Looks like the best time is over, just wait for Lego release a new falcon could be better.

Dear All, Recently start my MF project (finally join the Dark Side) I can source a local supply for my first order that's over 1,081 pieces. total of US$141.36. That's around $0.13 a piece, sounds fair? Do you think this is a good start? Dwong

Hi Kibosh, I want to start my MF project, new to the forum and BL. How did you utilize the wanted list feature, choose the stores, minimize the shipping cost on each order. Currently, I add few parts on my wanted list, show all, sorted by lowest prices, can't match to same store. Sorry for my bad english Any help would be appreciated.
