What's the best Lego website that you have come across for ordering supplies, getting information on older sets or making purchases? I have had great luck with BAYLIT (Bricks As You Like Them) and Peeron but I know there has to be more sites out there. As an adult that has loved Lego's for years, I am always looking to add to my collection so feel free to post away!

I have tried ebay... but really, I just use the old sets I had as a kid. They rule! And Lego doens't make them like they used to... all these preformed parts take all the creativity and imagination out. And Lego itself never had a great website, as far as I was concerned. But this is interesting, I might try the site that you mentioned, because I don't really like the new Lego sets, but there are some older ones that would be cool to get.

BAYLIT sells a lot of individual pieces, I used it to order pieces for my castle and it saved me a lot of money. EBay sellers generally have no idea what they are selling or how to list them correctly so you have to weed through things to find what you want. I do agree with you about some of the newer sets and that the 'improvements' take some of the fun out of them.

Hmmm, I don't know where you shop, but you just reminded me of a friend I had who built these all the way through college! She had all sorts of sets, but that was before internet shopping was popular so I think she got them from stores only.

If I have to shop at a retail store I try to do it when they are on sale or are having a clearance. One grocery store back in San Diego had the Harry Potter Sorting Hat set selling for like $1.00 or some outrageously low price. Needless to say, they were priced wrong and I bought every last one of them :]

Wow! I didn't know lego was still going! I loved this as a kid, it was my greatest toy, the most played with toy, I'd spend hours and hours constructing. Glad it's not just me out there who likes lego, obvious question I know but have you tried Ebay? Or doing a search on google, actually I may try that! Thanks for the topic, now I can relive my childhood again!

You'd be surprised at the number of adult Lego fanatics there are out there. When there are toy conventions and gatherings, it's an even mix of kids and adults. The same with contests, so much so that they now have age groups so everyone has an even chance of winning.

I normally shop at two local shops, Argos and Smyths. I have had to order online, however, from the Lego store in France. It cost me an arm and a leg to get the Imperial Star Destroyer but it was Christmas so I didn't have much choice.

I picked up the new Batmobile at Wal-Mart for $25.00 - it was normally selling for 85.00!!!! I hd to take the chance that all the pieces where there and wouldn't know for sure until it was completed .. they were all there! That's a huge savings but in all honesty, the car looks nice but the features of it aren't all that great.

We get most of our Lego at Smyths and through the Argos catalogue. I've looked at Amazon but it's way too expensive.

has to be ebay nowadays, can find a lot of retro sets on there, having just moved back to my parents house I found 3 massive storage boxes full of lego so have been having fun building all sorts of random contraptions from that :)

A website that I have bought Legos is www.bricklink.com They sell individual bricks and other Lego items. It is a great place to find hard to find items. I also look for sales at Walmart and Toys R Us. I got the Indian River village for 50% off. I have been successful on ebay buying retro sets. I now have all of the old castle sets except the yellow castle. I only bid what the set originally cost. Sometimes I win and sometimes I don't but I don't like to overpay for my legos.
