Yeah it’s be awesome to have more stores around the uk. We’re not super close but getting to Manchester isn’t too bad thankfully but a lot of people have quite a trek to get to one
Agree, my nearest one is Southampton and that's an hour and a half away, make sure I save a few pennies before I go or it's not worth it for me sadly as I do love going.
@@BricknIt Awesome vid as usual! Bro, need some help over here - Money is scarce nowadays 😂: Between the 2020 Haunted House Set (aka The Tower of Terror/Manor Von Barron) , The Jurassic Park T-Rex Rampage (over 3000 pieces too) and the Mickey&Minnie Statues set (18+) Wich one Would be your Pick?
I've only ever done a couple of PAB wall shops, and first was during the restrictions. Because you couldn't fil your own cup, they were doing you an extra scoop per cup you bought. The people filling my cup were awesome, told me I should save the biggest parts for my extra scoop and gave me about 8 8x8 plates for each extra scoop!!!! That was a bargain!! I went to London this week and now they let you do your own, so no extra scoop. As I bought small parts each time, the extra scoop was a real bargain. But it wasn't going to last forever :) Anyways, at least I can spend ages picking my own stuff now.
With the extra bricks they give you (One big shovel full extra directly into the paper bag, sometimes even slightly more if they're in a good mood), it's absolutely worth it and better than ever before actually. I bought some cups for myself in the last few months and at least for me, in my Country, they even give you slightly more than you could ever stack for yourself in one of these cups. At worst, it's exactly the possible amount of what you could stack into, minus all the time you would need for it, so it's a huge win. I wish this would be the new standard and I hope it will take a long time till they open it up again for self stacking, cause my experience so far was incredibly positive. Also, watched half the video so far but I noticed, you also have to pay shipping each time with Bricklink so that comes on top of it.
In US by me we pick our own and just use tongs/scoop and sanitizer before after. I’m a massive PAB fan, just wish my store had a bit more diversity especially with smaller parts. Large parts are more difficult to mass using PAB. Usually sneak those in middle surrounding with smaller parts
Fact, we can always "count" on you both to deliver! Sweet video and will definitely pay more attention the next time i visit a shop. You have some real sweet parts in them bins and i can't wait for them to form your next creations.
Oh my, what a pun! Thanks matey, yeah some of the parts I have plans for (in the train station) but the rest I'll figure out over time as I know I'll use them!
Went on my first trip to a LEGO store yesterday and was the one in Leicester Square in London, which I hear is the biggest. It was amazing and so helpful, managed to get the last couple of figures from series 21, plus did Pick a Brick and the minifigure one too. Not sure how picking a minifigure differed before Covid, but the Pick a Brick wall was great as a first time experience, although a bit overwhelming! Takes a while though with having to say what you want, but filled the cup well and she was determined to get in as much as possible 😊 plus the extra bag of bricks was nice!
Would definitely be interested to hear more about this in your haul videos (the counts of each type of piece), love to see what's on the PAB wall and wonder where/how you will use them in the city!
Yeah some of the pieces I know I'll use in the large train station rebrickable moc I'm planning on doing but the other pieces are just ones I know will be useful but I've not got a plan yet, we'll all have to see as time goes on!
Great video! Very interesting, actually. Nice to know about the values of the different sites. How long did it take you to do the video?! One last thing, could you possibly pick up some “Make your Own Minifigures” when you go to the store, and work out values with them too?
It took us quite a while to count up all the parts and look up all the costs on both bricklink and PAB on Lego at home 😂 thankfully Mrs Brick'n It helped me so it wasn't so bad!
Some very interesting results and is definitely worth buying as much as you can from the PAB wall. You must stop doing this, making videos where it makes me want to go to the shop myself. I’m literally itching to go to the Lego shop at MK and will go soon I think 👍
When I did PAB a few weeks ago, there were some great pieces so I got extra cups of good pieces. The lady knew it was so I could stock up on good pieces, so she gave me extra
Yeah I was really skeptical when Mrs Brick'n It came back with 9 cups, but we did go through all nine in the end and every single one of them was good value! And she stuck to useful pieces that we can see ourselves using so we were mega pleased!
I pretty much do this for my PAB cups by creating a parts list on rebrickable.com (PRO PLAN) for each PAB cup. This allows me to create an inventory of all of my parts (not in sets). Also shows the approx current worth of the parts in the list/all parts and so much more. The PAB cup in store is about $15.99 US +tax. The assessed value of the PAB has never been less than that (even when brick specialists do "SAB" scoop-a-brick.
Yeah the PAB cups are such good value when you find parts you want, definitely makes me want to visit the Lego store more often to see what they have in stock! Can't wait until we can visit again in the UK!
The problem I run into with local Lego store is they do not pack the cup as well as I do. Especially with larger pieces such as plates or large bricks.
I don't know why they don't supply disposable gloves so you can pick them yourself? Even if they charged 5p per pair, part of the fun is picking it yourself. PAB is great for some parts, depends what's on the wall at the time as it's only the parts Lego don't want and trying to make a few pennies back. But is worth it if you do a big haul. Great video once again, keep up the great work.
Thanks buddy! I think it's easier for them to control what happens if they pick for you. Hopefully it'll go back to being able to pick yourselves in the future. In the Manchester store they said they'd used the time during Covid to give the wall a clear out of some of the smaller parts they had hanging around and had ordered in a big selection!
Haven’t gone to them lego store since lockdown still don’t know if I’ll get a good amount of bricks from it I just get my parts online from the Lego store Pick a brick section but it takes like week to arrive ☹️
Yeah the online PAB is taking ages at the moment as it's harder for them to pick the parts with all the precautions. It took a good few weeks for my parts to arrive when I did it. Hopefully yours will arrive soon.
Yeah they said they’d taken the opportunity to clear down the wall and order new bricks during Covid so they had a good selection although I think we’re reaching the limit on how much of these bricks we want!
all pab cups is used on bricklink only out of set is new i had a bricklink shop and cups are now £15 and cost of living gone up now 2022 buying to flip brick is a big no i still buy lego of bricklink only parts in big number of same part i can see alot are not updating there bricklink shops any more
they stopped the drak grey 2x6 bricks i used to buy alot of them i cup a could get 150 about 2x4 bricks in a cup so 2x4 are now 10p each used to be 7p each be cause of the vip points they have changed it and i lose money now as flipping is dead i buy cassette deck and do them up there's money there
Yeah I've no idea about aus unfortunately, although it feels like the cups are well priced so long as you focus on parts you need. It was cheaper for all nine cups for us (we cataloged them all in the end) so that was good.
I don't have a big parts collection so some I will use for the train station I'm planning on building and then the rest will be used for other mocs as we stuck to parts we knew we'd be able to use
The PAB wall is way too random. Really unless it has pieces you want or need ‘right now’ it’s too hard to get great value out of it. Not that LEGO PAB online is any better at full retail, at least you can get the pieces you want, seems like you got a few good deals though. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah we stuck to pieces we could see that we would use. To be honest I was impressed, all of our cups worked out significantly cheaper that we could have got the parts on Bricklink or PAB online so I was pleased. I'll supplement these with specific bricks from Bricklink but this will get me a long way for cheaper!
Hi Chris, I’ve found the same kind of value applies with LEGO Store PAB cups in the UK and (slightly more expensive) in Europe (see haul videos on my channel) prior to COVID. So I don’t think we’re losing out on too much value by the LEGO employee filling the cups - just missing out on the fun. They look like some useful parts - especially the tiles - which store did you go to?
Brick’n It ok good to know. Nothing interesting in the London Leicester Square store a couple of weeks ago; I might try another store like Southampton if I get down that way.
It worked out good value on all 9 cups when we priced them up against Lego at home PAB and bricklink and they were bricks we wanted. It’s only good value if you’ll use the bricks though
Brick’n It yeah that is one of my reasons for this statement, Most of the times the bricks and pieces that are available aren’t the best pieces for mocs or building so that is also why I think it isn’t worth it, anyway thanks for the advice and I wish you a good evening.
hi i will not buy parts and brick till the can put my hands on them as i would lose money still 30% i would lose and more i used to have a bricklink shop and i would lose money filling cups this way people in the lego shops know me very well it's first name all the time if i go in to any london lego shop and all the shop robber cop know my face in the flag shop shop they are trained in faces you see i got stopped so many time you that bob a big lego fan can't do a lego youtube people a work for would not like it one bit they told me big time i have had 300 pab cup just ask about a bob in westfield watford it was some time ago bob

Lego definitely needs to build more stores in the UK just not enough.
Yes! Mine is an hr away at least and id probably have to go by train...need a Lego store in Shropshire...
Peter Powis that’s where my family’s from, love Shropshire 👍🏻

I live in fricking Chepstow!
And the closest to me if in Cardiff central! :(
Behind every great afol is a great partner who supports your hobby!!!!!it's a great club to be in.😀😀😀😀
Couldn't agree more matey! the channel has become more like "our" channel than my channel :)
Thank you both for doing something I’ve wanted to do but not wanted to do. Thanks for taking the time and for sharing.
I’ve done this myself. Makes me feel great on buying a load of cups. Great video Chris. 👍🏻
Thanks buddy! Always nice to sense check it's worth it!

I was thinking the same thing! Im starting to spend far too much on Lego!! 😂
Ha ha sorry matey! Lego is the only place I’ve been since lockdown, I’m not keen on doing much but I couldn’t keep away from Lego 😂
Well worth heading to a Lego store!! Thanks guys for you're hard work! You're both awesome! :)
Thanks buddy really appreciate it! Makes it worth the effort we put in hearing that!
I’m lucky.I live in North London and have 4 Lego Stores within a Hours travel.Always some variation in the PaB Walls.
When I did PAB a few weeks ago, there were some great pieces so I got extra cups of good pieces. The lady knew it was so I could stock up on good pieces, so she gave me extra
I also got dark grey 1x2 tiles, and got $70 worth of pieces
That is awesome!
U have some awesome peices in ur UK PAB walls
Wow!! Thanks 🙏 That was awesome. 😍
Wow! That's crazy the amount that you saved with the PAB wall!

Really enjoyed this! Wish I had closer lego stores in the uk my closest are 3 hrs away:(
Ah rubbish, could really do with there being more Lego stores spread across the UK. Thankfully ours is only an hour away.
The next time I go to the LEGO Store, I'm wanting to do this. I'm wondering how much it'd cost to do a Pick A Brick in the states.
The problem I run into with local Lego store is they do not pack the cup as well as I do. Especially with larger pieces such as plates or large bricks.
Great information, looking forward to my first visit to the Lego store soon.
Bricklink you're forgetting shipping costs, plus at time of video shipping restrictions. I've always thought the wall for parts is better.
I don't know why they don't supply disposable gloves so you can pick them yourself? Even if they charged 5p per pair, part of the fun is picking it yourself. PAB is great for some parts, depends what's on the wall at the time as it's only the parts Lego don't want and trying to make a few pennies back. But is worth it if you do a big haul.

Brick’n It thanks 🙏
Haven’t been watching for a while because of school but good vid
No worries, thanks buddy!
It was even better before COVID when u could take ur time and stack the items inside the cup to maximise the space rather than just being scooped in.
Hello thanks for such an informative video. Which lego store you actually went for doing PAB. Thanks.
Great video! Youre awesome guys!
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a voyage of discovery for us as I really wasn't sure how good the cups would be!
I do the same for my store..value has been great 👍 but never enough variety sadly..great vid 👌
Yeah they said they’d taken the opportunity to clear down the wall and order new bricks during Covid so they had a good selection although I think we’re reaching the limit on how much of these bricks we want!
@@BricknIt love an entire store just for pab
IT IS NOT WORTH IT YOU ARE AN AWESOME TH-camR WE SHALL NOT LOSE A OTHER LEGEND
all pab cups is used on bricklink only out of set is new i had a bricklink shop and cups are now £15 and cost of living gone up now 2022
buying to flip brick is a big no i still buy lego of bricklink only parts in big number of same part
i can see alot are not updating there bricklink shops any more
How much does a large cup cost
Thanks! Great video! I already knew it but a very good reminder! There is only 1 probleme.... it is very addictive!!!!
Ha ha completely agree, it gets very addictive!
Great video. Pick a brick is good way to get bricks.
Thanks matey! Yeah definitely agree, it’s great when you find the bricks you need for a project!
can you do one for 1x1 round studs? I make mosaics and wanted to figure out the best place to get the parts
A couple months ago i went to do pick a brick. I actually enjoyed the experience
Awesome! Yeah we’ve enjoyed ours because the Lego staff have been so friendly and helpful as we’ve done it!
@@BricknIt Same here! They were very kind and helpful!
they stopped the drak grey 2x6 bricks i used to buy alot of them i cup a could get 150 about 2x4 bricks in a cup so 2x4 are now 10p each used to be 7p each
be cause of the vip points they have changed it and i lose money now as flipping is dead
i buy cassette deck and do them up there's money there
i was told watford is going reading needs one
wonder if its cheaper instore pick a brick in australia but still interesting videdo

What are you gonna do with all those bricks ???
I don't have a big parts collection so some I will use for the train station I'm planning on building and then the rest will be used for other mocs as we stuck to parts we knew we'd be able to use
please do more video like this one
Thanks buddy, that's useful to know
thats a lot of PAB!!!
Ha ha yeah Mrs Brick’n It got a bit carried away, however she did buy useful bricks that I know we’ll use so I don’t mind!
