Available for Mac and WindowsIn the customer service section of the LEGO Shop at Home website, go to “Bricks and Pieces” and “I want to buy a piece”. This section lets you call up a part number or set number and see the list of parts. You can order up to 200 of at least 10 types at a time of whichever parts are in stock, albeit at a price that is higher than the mean price in sets. What you gain in direct applicability to your model, you pay for in higher price per piece. first to compare prices because new parts can be either cheap or expensive. Sometimes the lack of availability or the high price on Bricklink means that the Shop at Home option is most convenient.I have made a couple of orders for my BB-8 Droid. In some cases I wanted a higher quantity of a piece than Bricklink could offer. If you take into account your time in making multiple orders, the convenience of a single source of new parts can work out cheaper overall.
If you want gears, axles and pins then normal Technic kits have loads of them. Motors would be bought individually as Power Functions items from LEGO Shop at Home. I would usually go for new motors or other complex functional elements because I know their history. In quite a few locally-sourced 2nd hand lots I’ve had in the past, it seems the owners may have lost interest when the motors burned out.I found it tricky to get pneumatic parts or belts from LEGO Shop customer services; they always show as “out of stock”. LEGO Education may be a better source of belts as those kits use them more. I look at the latest sets containing pneumatics for those parts.At the moment the Bucket Wheel Excavator 42055 has a large selection of parts for a reasonable price. £180 for almost 4000 parts works out at 4.5p/piece, a lot cheaper than individual parts from LEGO Shop at Home, so a couple of those for the bulk and fewer specific orders might be the cheapest way to do it. You may also find a discount of up to 20% in toy retailers at this time of year (October) because toy retailers make most of their sales in the run up to Christmas.I suggest Bricklink for the cheapest route, but have fun searching through the categories of Technic pieces, as they do have multiple names and can be considered different things.
and click on the Bricks and Pieces tab, where you can independently order however many pieces you need, it’ll be slightly more expensive than Bricklink, but it seems better to find the parts.They tend to have packages of specific pieces. You can order any individual LEGO pieces from the online stores there. We just need a few more details to give you the best answer possible.

Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Can I buy Technic sets that are just assortments of parts as opposed to a specific vehicle? I do research on sediment carbon cycling in lakes and I need use a rotating array of magnets to keep the water from stratifying in my incubation cores during experiments.
The cores are arranged around the rotating magnets and there is another small magnet suspended in the water of the core tubes. The slowly rotating magnets cause just enough movement in the internally suspended magnets to induce some flow in the sealed cores. Basically I need a setup that allows me to make slowly rotating horizontal ferris wheels of various sizes. Historically I have built these setups from wood and small motors but I have begun to think that Legos would make a better and more flexible tool. It looks like Technic sets are basically what I need (although other suggestions would be welcome) but I just want some basic parts not a cool truck or dune buggy. I have looked on the Lego Technic webpage and all I see are cool vehicles. Lego sells several kits of parts through their Lego Education line. You can buy them online in the US here: http://www.legoeducation.us/ The direct link to the Technic kits is here: They have a $50 "Simple Machines" set, a $140 "Simple and Motorized Mechanisms Base Set", a Pnuematics add-on set, and a very cool Renewable Energy set (yes, there is a Lego-branded solar panel!).
Also, if you look under the parts and accessories section (http://www.legoeducation.us/eng/characteristics/productType~LEGO%20Spare%20Parts%20and%20Accessories), you can order variety packs of various parts (e.g., 5 each of each length of the studless beams). , where you can also buy pretty much every Lego element ever molded in bulk quantities. The short answer at the moment is no, at least as far as I am aware. Although, as oddTodd points out, there are kits in the Education line that may provide what you are looking for. The only Technic sets in production are models of some kind rather than parts packs. There is the Mindstorms set, which allows for many different models to be built, but that is a very expensive way to just get Technic parts, as it also includes the NXT brick, sensors, and motors. There are a few ways to get just parts. Some are more expensive than just buying sets, while others are much cheaper. The most expensive option is to order individual parts from LEGO Pick-a-brick.
You should be able to find exactly what you need if you are willing to take the time to choose your parts individually. Along the same vein, you can buy individual parts from Bricklink. This can be relatively affordable, especially if you are willing to pick up used parts. If you don't need to choose individual parts, the cheapest and perhaps easiest way to get a large number of pieces is through auctions on sites like eBay. If you don't mind getting older used sets, there was a line of Technic universal building sets during the 80s and early 90s. Though these can't be purchase directly from LEGO anymore, they are still available on sites like Bricklink or eBay. Keep in mind that all Technic sets, even if they represent a vehicle or something, are also an assortment of parts by themselves. You don't need to build the model, and some sets are better "parts packs" than others. I would also encourage you to check the inventories of current sets (on brickset or bricklink, for example) and see if some of them could suit you.
