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.

@legion2590 Год назад

I don't know. The cost of this webrick set was roughly comparable to the cost of the set when it came out BUT without the mini-figs, printed pieces, initial promotional costs (box art, ads, etc) and design costs for creating the build. So it seems like lego might be competitive already given all the hidden costs. But if you just want bricks and free lego instructions, then webrick is great.

@RagenRibbonz 10 месяцев назад

I’m not coming at this from a “purist” angle, and I’m not even an aficionado by any means, but I think it’s important folks are aware that a huge contributor to the cost of Lego brand sets has to do with paying Lego employees-including the amazing engineers and designers that spend months creating these builds before they’re ever even brought to market or make a profit. Yes, Lego has made their instructions and parts lists available online, so yes, you can def rip them and then source the bricks from somewhere else. But just know that you’re not contributing to the source that invested in all that time and talent to produce those designs-which are the best in the world for a reason. I’m honestly not arguing either way, and I think it’s fine to source some bulk quantity pieces elsewhere if you’re building major MOCs and need to save some cash-I don’t think the number of folks doing this will make a huge dent in Lego’s sustainability. But it’s just a good awareness to keep in mind, and also can contribute to Lego prices going up. If everyone did this, it would only result in a race to the bottom where cheap is all that matters, and Lego couldn’t afford to pay for the talent that gets us these designs. Lego isn’t price-gouging or trying to rip off their customers. Lego is the company that is investing in all the people and their talent and skill. And they pay a competitive living wage to all their employees. That investment in people increases the price per brick vs a knock-off company that only snags their final work, and then manufactures a knock-off end-product material to copy it. Nothing is contributed to paying for what it took to get there. Just something good to be aware-the cost for Lego isn’t about the manufacturing costs alone, like it is for the copycats. But I appreciate this vid talking about the differences and similarities in the final end product. This is just something for people to keep in mind. Has nothing to do with being a purist or a brand fan; I only own a few Lego sets myself. But I do care about quality development and companies that pay their workers. And I think Lego build designs are incomparable and unmatched by any other, and I’m happy to pay for that.

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.

@mishti06 Год назад

Wish I could give you 100👍s. There is nothing wrong (in my personal view) of alternative brands. I build them all the time and honestly...no one notices the difference. Lego is getting crazy expensive, which is sad...but its forcing most of us to find other ways. Totally agree with omitting rare parts, and stickers/prints can always be custom made. Lego should be for everyone but sadly it's becoming more just for the rich. I think a healthy mix of both is just as good. Fantastic video!!!

@NewBrickerton Год назад

Thank you so much for the kind words! LEGO is a tough hobby to get into because you realize how expensive it truly is. I just want people to be able to build for cheap! Lol

@mishti06 Год назад

I've been building lego as an adult since the first modulars came out. But these days I've watched the prices just go crazy. Makes me sad its becoming out of reach for many at a time when we need hobbies. I love the collection I have but, like you, I am not ashamed to add in unique alt brands. I think lego as a brand is missing a lot of opportunities. Used to be a purist but life changes ,and income decline opened up my eyes to alts. I think its great if people can afford all real lego but they have to realise not everyone can. Alt brands give every socio-economic group the chance to enjoy the hobby. It's all about creativity. I hope you video goes far and wide to help people.

@GregOrCreg Год назад

@@mishti06 100% agreed. I really appreciate your egalitarian attitude (one that I share). Like you say, Lego, or at least the hobby of building such sets with toy bricks, should be something that can be enjoyed by as many socioeconomic groups as possible.

@TheOneandOnlyDuck Год назад

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.

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

But then I also did it with the boutique hotel and some were cheaper and some were only slightly more expensive, yet again, they would all be second hand ones and this way would be brand new ones, and I guess the palace cinema is a much older set and therefore more expensive and has a higher want, interesting to see how the prices vary!

There are 3,800 unique lego bricks. The factory couldn't realistically print all unique pieces from every retired set they've put out in the past 70+ years. The fact is that once lego retires a set, those unique prints just skyrocket because lego has no reason to continue to print the pieces. Lego is releasing 150+ new sets, just in January 2024. Lego didn't get where it is today by continuing to make wooden toys. They are constantly evolving & innovating.

@@Miduuza They could still add a "add this set" to pick-a-brick and then show which pieces are missing. Majority of the bricks on a retired set you can find on pick-a-brick after all and most of the time you can find alternatives for the missing pieces.

I would be curious how the webrick version you built would compare to sourcing Lego brick on a site like bricklink while omitting the same expensive pieces.

That's a good question! I will have to give that a shot. Thank you for the comment Jason!

@2:45 I swear to god the second I saw this shot I said to myself 'This isn't original LEGO'. You can see it, especially with the ingot pieces - they don't look as 'crisp' as original LEGOs do. That said, I can't convince myself to use other brands (not even in places where you don't see the bricks, like in a foundation). That might be dumb costwise, but a part of me thinks that it's just not the same *shrug*. Like an original painting and a print of it.

@CamToner Год назад

Definitely want to try out these bricks! I am a lot like you and I like building my city and making it look dope! Have you tried lighting with these bricks yet and running cords through from Light-tailing/Bricksmax?

@NewBrickerton Год назад

I have not. I'm not huge into lighting yet but I want to get into it!

@ajana147 Год назад

Webrick could be costly to buy as there is practically no resale value. Also I hope you could have included the shipping cost and provided a total cost which should be bringing this closer to $200. Now, I am not 100% loyal to Lego, but I better spend $400 and have an opportunity to resale with more money in future than spending $200 with no ROI. Kindly let me know you pov on this if possible.

A couple questions - what is the shipping time to get the parts from China? And, could you explain how to use the exported out of stock parts list on brick link? The XML file does not seem to be compatible there, and you didn't really show that part of the process. Would appreciate it! Thanks!

@briansmith303 7 месяцев назад

It's generally a couple of weeks from China. WeBrick picks and ships usually in 3-5 days, depending on the volume of pieces you order. Then it goes to the China shipper for a couple of days. A day through China customs, and then the ride across the pond - sometimes there's a delay before it actually gets transported. Then it goes through US customs - usually another day - and gets handed off to the US shipper - maybe another day delay here, and they usually take about 3 days to get it to you. I found WeBrick's order tracking to be very detailed and easy to follow. The file he exported out of ReBrickable was a ReBrickable .CSV file, so it's not directly compatible to BrickLink. There's also a BrickLink .XML option that will produce the file you're needing. The CSV is easier to edit if you're savvy and want to make color changes or part substitutions before uploading. ReBrickable is a good interchange place between formats because they support so many. So you can take files from anywhere and import them to a list there, and then export them into whichever format you need.

8:59 I understand what you mean about the Lego faces. But for me, I loved playing with Legos as a kid, so I guess I started to love the figures. Even if they did look a bit weird.

Is it possible to translate a brick link file to Webrick list ? I have a bunch of Big Boy Lego trains list and im wondering what they cost at Webrick ?

@NewBrickerton Год назад

You can use Bricklink XML files to upload the parts list to WeBrick!

Anyone else getting an error when trying to upload/paste the XML from WeBrick into BrickLink for the missing and out of stock parts? Even when I remove the dups it's telling me that nothing is found.

@andrewskinner1029 Год назад

Confused what you do with the missing or out of stock parts? Do those parts get reinserted back into rebrickable or lego website somehow?

@psychocowthree Год назад

I was also trying to figure this out just now. I downloaded the parts list from Rebrickable for the Brick Bank. I uploaded that list to WeBrick. Then I exported the xml for the missing and out of stock parts. However, when I tried to import the xml to Bricklink it failed and didn't find any of the missing parts. So I don't know what's going on. It would suck to have to try and find all the missing parts individually, but it might be worth it to save the $$.

I have a mix of both Lego brand bricks, and various others, I can definitely tell the difference in quality between certain brands, and of course Lego itself. I honestly didn't mind getting complete sets that were 'stolen' from Lego, because the thing is, if the set is no longer available, I can't buy it from Lego anyway. They are not gonna make money off me either way. I also did a large moc creation in my city, and I bought those parts out of China as well, if I had bought those from Lego, it would have been 4x the cost. I like Lego, but I also like a ton of other stuff, so I have to choose where to buy it from.
