Want to save money? Show them how to make a profit of their hard work but be wary, they will likely become more addicted. Where to buy LEGO online? Although you should certainly be able to find plenty of LEGO deals locally, you might also want to check out LEGO available online. I believe that you will appreciate this opportunity more and more as you venture deeper into the world of LEGO. But for now let’s just say that the benefit of online shopping is that you will have a much greater selection than at any local store. The drawback is that you will have to wait some days until your LEGO arrives, and in most cases you will also have to pay for shipping. However if you really-really want a set that is not available locally, you probably wouldn’t mind to pay a bit extra. Also, around major holidays, many of the online shops offer free shipping and excellent LEGO deals! : this is LEGO’s own website!

: eBay is like a giant, international garage-sale. It is a place for individuals to sell items they no longer want or need.

This is the most convenient choice because it's (relatively) easy to use, their selection is robust, and it's very reliable in terms of product quality and shipping. Downsides are that it only includes parts currently being manufactured which excludes lots of interesting older designs and it can be more expensive than BrickLink. /You can think of BrickLink as eBay for LEGO bricks. This is the most flexible choice because it's got lots of out-of-date parts, sellers from many locations (if shipping time matters), and some of the cheapest prices. However, it's a fairly confusing website, increased risk of being peer-to-peer, and if you're going for very large volumes you sometimes have to piece together multiple orders across several vendors./en-us/storesAs far as I know, all LEGO Stores feature bins of individual LEGO pieces that you can buy in any quantity you want. This is an extremely limited selection and (I believe) it's the most expensive, but it's definitely the most immediate choice.
