This is usually what makes these sets so expensive to piece together properly. There is a part that’s needed for the construction and it’s way, way, way out of your league. In some cases, you are simply up the reddish brown creek without a 2542. In that case, write under My Remarks how many you actually need so you can pick them accordingly once you find them. In that case you can choose a lower Min Qty than what you really need. It might be that the part is so rare that no single seller has the required amount. Since it’s hard to keep track of each part, I use these to not get too ridiculous prices. If there are tons of sellers with the necessary parts count, you can set a lower Max Price so you’ll only see stores that qualify. If there are only a few sellers, you might need to settle for Used. This is where you get a Max Price for each part, and possibly change whether you want a New or Used part. You generally want to get as few orders as possible, but as you can see from the prices, sellers charge very differently for each part. If you’re prepared to make changes to not kill your wallet, read on. At this point, if you want the 100% real, complete set, you realize that you might as well hunt for the set itself. Sticker sets are by definition unique to a set and for any set like the Millennium Falcon, these will be hilariously overpriced. Normally you get the sticker set first in your list and this is where you need to reconsider if you’re up to this task. Since there might be other types of items (like instructions or minifigures) in your list you may have to repeat this step with those later. Select your newly created list (if you have more than one) in the top selection and then click ”Show All” on the Parts category. And after that, you have a Wanted List made up out of all the parts needed to build the Millennium Falcon.Ĭlick Wanted and then My Wanted List. The third step is just to check your list, so move on. Use a second window to log back in to not lose progress, before you move on. Oh, and if it takes a long time, Bricklink might log you out. Once you’ve checked all of your collection, you can move on with the next step. Don’t bother with remarks or max price yet. In that case, check the Delete box or adjust the number of parts needed as necessary. If you find, say, 500 parts that you already have, that’s $50 you don’t need to spend here. If you have a decent amount of spare parts (from older sets that you’re not going to rebuild, or previously bought loose parts) you may want to locate them in your collection and set them aside for this build. This shows a list of all parts in the set. The next step is very important and potentially very time consuming. Finally check ”Set my Minimum Desired Qty” so it automatically adds the correct number of each part to your wanted list. It might be a good idea to start out with only new pieces and then lower your target for the more hard to find pieces. It’s always best to create a new list of parts for a new set so you don’t mix it up with any other items you might be looking for on Bricklink. Choose whether you want the minifigures or just the set, the instructions and/or the box. At this screen, enter the set number (in this case, 10179). To get started, click the Wanted menu and then Part Set. So, you want to get the UCS Millennium Falcon, generally considered the greatest Lego set ever made (although the Taj Mahal has it beat in parts count, it’s actually smaller in size), and one of the most expensive ones.
If you want cheap Lego, look for yard sales. Also, a huge set with more than 2000 pieces will cost you at around $200 even if the price per part isn’t that bad, so there are generally no shortcuts to be had. These are going to be crazy expensive, and if you’re not careful it’ll knock the grand total up to the cost of the entire, complete set.

Thus, the only parts in circulation are the ones that came from that set originally (that someone parted out to sell separately) plus whatever extras Lego had in their customer service archives until they ran out. While any set consists mainly of standard pieces, there are always a few that are rare, possibly even exclusive to the set in question. The bad news is: it’s still gonna cost you. And there are plenty of people who sell parts at nearly retail price (commonly $0.1 per standard part). A 2×4 brick is the same whether it came in the Millennium Falcon or in a starter box. The good news is: it doesn’t really have to cost that much. The problem is, the sets you want went out of print years ago, and when you look for the sets on Ebay or Amazon they cost ten times what they used to or more. So, you’re into Lego and you have a bit of cash to spend, and there’s lots of sets that you really want.
