I think that Lego can justify the premium price due to the effort in designing the builds and various licensing fees. But if you're building a retired set, where Lego won't get any of the resale money, it makes sense to use 3rd party bricks.

As someone who has just recently got into LEGO and wants some of the older unaffordable sets, this vid was invaluable. Thank you 🙏! Subscribed!

I'm glad that you are helping us average people build alternative sets that are more reasonably priced than the Lego extortionists. A lot of us can't afford sets that are over a hundred dollars much less two hundred dollars. Keep up the good work.

[jimmynuetronrblx]

Hopefully Lego will realize that alternatives are becoming a bigger threat and price their sets more competitively

[barbiegirl-gcds]

Your my favorite Lego youtuber because you aren't a purist. I wish you could post more often. I watch your old videos all the time.

Watching your cat walking on the lego table made me smile, i've been kicking myself for not getting the bank before it retired. Maybe this way i could still build a bank in my city

[bwandonmyahs]

I love how candid you are about using alternative bricks. For so long it’s seemed like every lego fan/content creator has been so hush hush about even the possibility of going that route. I’ve been buying bootlego for years at this point and have yet to have any issues and it’s nice to see someone going out there publicly and validating that, yes, this is a thing, and yes, it’s cost effective. LEGO isn’t owed anything from us. If they want to make the prices too high, you’re allowed to take your business elsewhere.

I don't mind alt brands for lego, the only thing I kinda regret is that it will get mixed up more and more in people's collections, and when I buy a second hand collection for parts I would prefer to have 100% lego or 100% alternative and not a mix. because not all copies are the same good quality as the Webricks seem to be

[knallkasten]

im not even a lego builder myself i just love lego content and i think you might be one of the best addition to the community. beside your tipps your videos are on a very high quality level visual and audio wise. keep up the good work!

[cloegalipeau]

Love your channel!! I’m a new lego fan, on a budget and i had no idea i could have every lego list on their website!! I’m so happy i’ve come by your channel. Also very glad you’re not against other brands. I’ve just completed a Nifeliz kit from amazon and i loved it !

Just getting into Lego at age 39 and my word - the tools available for building any set on the cheap, EASILY is insane - thanks for educating me !!

[TheOneandOnlyDuck]

Great work! I am a purist when it comes to Lego, but my method for "scratch building" sets is to take my inventory lists and go pick bricks out of the bulk at my local Bricks & Minifigs store. If I keep running into a rare part that is statistically not going to show up in the bulk pile I order off of Bricklink.

[eggybricks]

Really thoughtful tips — and impressive production value as usual. Excited to try these out, we've always wished for a way to try retired builds without spending thousands of dollars. Thanks so much!

[vanschaaykb]

It's curious to me that Lego never offered the service to order out of production sets as a complete partlist. Yes you can painstakingly go through pick-a-brick and select all the pieces, but it seems like a missed opportunity that they are losing out to third parties on.

[fidgetsbricks]

I took your advice from this video and got mine for $110. Only had to buy a few parts and custom stained glass windows plus some of the printed paintings Also had fun sorting thought my own collection for brink bank, had about %65 of my mine.

Rest of the pieces I bought from Webrick.

[animalcrossingnerd]

i love how your cat just runs around the city its like Godzilla but in lego.

[stewiegriffin]

After this video I used webrick to purchase the parts I needed to build the Central Perk and Seinfeld Sitcomplex rebrickable model. I substituted the out-of-stock pieces with other fitting pieces, but some sort of error happened and they didn’t ship them to me. It’s all good though, after I contacted them about it they shipped me the rest of the pieces.

I’ll definitely buy from them again, having all the pieces shipped from one place feels so much better than buying from 15 separate bricklink sellers, and you save so much money on shipping alone. This video has really opened a brand new world of Lego building for me

[marmaloot]

As someone who is just now getting into Lego and wanting to build a city of my own this is awesome!
