Where to buy lego in bulk?

[shpangle]

I have just had this crazy idea but it involves lots or Lego bricks (1 x 1 size, part number 3005). Does anybody know where I could buy Lego in bulk?

Thanks

Does it have to genuine Lego? If not I'm sure a chinese company could knock something up for you? Try Ali Baba

Preferably genuine Lego bricks with the Lego name embossed onto the knobbles of the brick...

No idea, but I'm intrigued as to what you're going to build......

...bricks with the Lego name embossed onto the knobbles of the brick...

I'm sure you could get also these in China if you weren't too fussed about the authenticity

If I was looking for a large quantity of genuine lego, then the obvious place to start would be these guys:

LEGO Company Limited
33 Bath Road
Slough,
Berks SL1 3UF
Great Britain

Tel +44 1753 495 000
Fax +44 1753 495 375

Nice site, thanks for sharing that! It is a shame they don't do more colours though. I think I might try phoning Lego to see if they can do a deal but I doubt it.

If speaking to Lego directly doesn't go anywhere then could be worth giving that site a call to see if they can get more colours, or can suggest somewhere than can supply them.

Failing both of those buy yourself a sack and a ticket to Legoland ;-)

haha! The prices they charge to get in I don't think I could afford it though.

Just found that Lego do a Pick a Brick service...

But at 6p per tiny 1x1 brick it would cost me a fortune!

Oh my god...Just go to LEGO prior to good legal advice and then license your idea!

Yes, if you're building one of these . . .

No if you're building one of these . . .

I would like to know where all the Lego went and how they could afford it in the first place... 1 million bricks at 6p per brick
