TD BRICKS: Professional tip: stuff as much LEGO as possible😂
Basically thats all u gotta do! 😂
I find that it’s a bit strange that this has so many likes but so little comments!
A real lego expert would've got 5 cups full of those clear wall peices. They are really valuable to people trying to hold up things to make them look like they are flying.
No no no a real lego expert would have bought every single on of those clear AND tree pieces

That thing at the top is called a STUD or a KNOB but not a nipple xD
One person wants to call it a stud, another person wants to call it a “nipple thingy”. Stud, nipple...who’s to say? 🏳️🌈

totallyfrozen what? i was joking
My lego store literally asks for the mass of the cup with the pieces so that i can't get more pieces.
FrostMan i believe they weigh them
wtf
The mass? You mean the weight. The mass of the cup would be the size of the cup which they should already know.
Sans Handlebars
Mass is a measure of size. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mass

I just got back from Legoland Florida where I picked up a square pick a brick container for 25$ I managed to fit 756 of those 1x2 brick detail pieces by linking them all together in rows of 12. My wife questioned why I “wasted my time” doing that until I took them all apart and showed her that the negative space from everything loose only allowed 2/3 of them to fit into the same container. Victory in my book!
That's so worth it. I just paid $40 for the 1500 piece Classic set, just to kickstart my collection and have something for my kids. But I want to get into building a castle city. So brick detail pieces are a must. Getting 750 for $25 is a fair price. Worth the effort.
The nearest LEGO store to me is 10 hours away
Same dude!
Ikr big sad
Elijah Piche so like 2 states away
TROPIC HEDGEHOG nope it’s a province away
Elijah Piche mines an hour away and I still feel like it’s far
This was so needed. I was always wondering why my Lego store had such bad pieces. Tomorrow I’m going straight to my Lego store to find out when they get new pieces.
Also in my Lego store you can fill your pick a brick cups with the bricks that are in the little table where kids build. It’s weird.
Wow. Really. Not at my local lego store
Same here. The Lego store in my place is too expensive. And the bricks they provide just repeat and repeat. Most of the pieces are useless like: windows but no frame, transparent and glitter pieces, eye piece. Just some looks “pretty” pieces with a extremely expensive price.
If there were any Lego stores where i live I'd stuff my pockets with legos
I am sad, when i see that many of you guys have lego stores near your house. As I know, in my country there are like 3 lego stores.
@@alishanightshade3270 whats the problem then if they all cost the same???
Bought a large cup for 18€ a few months ago, calculated the stuff inside was worth more than 120 € ! Allways good to pick a brick!
What??

What?!?
Sorry if this video is less ambitious than my other ones. I really needed to take a break after grinding after the Starcourt Mall video, which took around a full week to work on. Next video will get real spicy!
Its ok just ceep building😀

The tips of Brickvault with 2x4 brick don’t save you just 50 cents like you said. In the video they prove that it almost double the quantity of the brick in the cup when you put the brick in a certain pattern.
Legit Builder that’s actually really cool! I didn’t know that.
He also said that he was joking
This is what I do. Also there is another tip my dad helps me with is to fill the cup to the max. You put the smallest on the bottom to the biggest on the top. Also you got so lucky with those pieces the look amazing and rare.
It's not a nipple thingy it's technically the stud of the cup
Once at my LEGO store I had the cup to were the lid snaped on and then the employees to told to overfill it
These are actually really good tips! I never knew that you could ask when shipments arrive. Thanks for the tips; this is really useful! 😄
Nipple thingy....🤣🤣great terminology I think it might just be called the stud top....lol ❤️❤️👍
Another tip is asking to see what brick they have in the back, especially if you're looking for a specific piece. Sometimes there are more bricks than bays in the wall and the extra are just sitting around for a bay to become available.
I sure love returning to the nearest LEGO store several months since the last time and see that the wall is exactly the same. It did, however have some decent pieces in dark blue and maroon and you bet your sweet bippy I bought a tall cup of maroon 1x2 plates
Another tip, if you can't get to the store when the deliveries have just come in, is to always ask the employees if they have some bricks in the back. At my local LEGO store (Sandton, South Africa) they have a plate showing some of the pieces available in the back. The wall is often not great, but by asking the workers, I got a bunch of those awesome 2x4 teal tiles in your video, and those maroon curved tiles.
Ohh, masonry bricks on the PAB wall - that's SO lucky! I'd love to get a couple of cups of those! Great tips for getting the good stuff - especially the delivery times! Good advice all round though! Thanks for sharing this and keep up the great work :-)
I used those Dark Red 1x2 bricks with bricks to make a pretty cool minifig stand.I love how it turned out.
Okay. I've been wanting to know, because it's a bit unclear. Do you just buy the cup, fill it up with the pieces you get, and buy the whole thing for the price of the cup? So like, around $20. Or do you have to pay for every individual piece, and have the total be whatever all those pieces made? Or can you get a $20 cup, fill it up with whatever, and all that will be $20? Hopefully you or someone sees this.
One cup is $15.98 each to fill up with any pieces you want. Hope this helps. If you bring back empty cups and reuse them, you will save 50 cents on each cup.
TODAY TY TEACHES US HIS WAYS.... we will all be rich in tiles now
Love the yellow back drop! Unfortunately the one single time ive been in an official lego store (even if it was just a mall one) the pick a brick sucked) i need to get to an actual one. Do you go to the one in Tigard?
Mine always sucks too!!
My LEGO store gets new part shipments once a month or bi weekly. However they rarely get window frames, and window pieces together. It’s usually one or the other.
Great tips! Seems the USA is finally catching up in good elements for their PAB. We’ve had some of these elements on our European PAB for the past year so.
My place have a pick a brick too but the pieces in there are always the same like: eye piece, 2x1 transparent pink piece, white door frame, 1x1 gold plate.
They repeat these pieces in the whole corner. Each of the box are not full. You can really touch the bottom of the box. And the price is too expensive.
The minifigure build section are also the same. Egypt hair piece, red tee, vampire's skirt. Repeat and repeat. And the lego set in there are very less.
Hey, I like the 2 by 2 dark tan plates. Use them to figure out a diagonal tiling system and make a safari house, just an idea
I saw the dark red modified bricks recently as well
Thanks for the tips I will use these for MOCs on my channel!
I recently went to the pab wall . I did a video recently on it too. I build the bricks I want to buy into a stack that fits into the cup. Then I fill it with the smaller pieces around the build. With mocs we always can use those pieces. The possibilities are endless. Supermarket. Theater. Bowling alley. Bus stops. Volcano. House.
I recently came back into lego, and alot of it was actually thanks to your other vids :).
Also one thing you forgot to mention at tip #2, it can take a really long time to even fill it in based on your selected pieces.
For your brick peices... maybe a super mario type of display?
I found sand tan baguettes and red crystals at my LEGO store. Bye bye $20.
Nice finds
I have pick-a-brick cups with discount barcodes from like, literally years ago, that still go through every time lol
Honestly my local store usually has good pieces it is just the colors I always have an issue with. I mean I got tons of leaves and sea weed pieces in bright green and dark green. That was a good day. But when ever I just want 1x2 or 1x4 or what ever they are always in crazy colors. Nothing wrong with unusual colors but sometimes you just want white, or black not teal or orange. Heck I would take a dark blue or red over some of the crazy colors they have sometimes.
I also wish the wall was bigger. There is a Lego land store about 50 miles away that has a massive wall. But the store that is just 7 miles away is about half the size. 1st world problems.
He be like I’ll head to my LEGO store every Friday when I go to my nearest LEGO store it’s a good couple hours.
Love the background!! Really improves the mood of the video 👍🏻
I have only done pick a brick once but I loved it (they also gave me tape) that was my dream come true as I've been collecting lego since I was about 5 and every year since I've been adding tons of sets so pick a brick was very fun (this hapoened because a lego store opened very close to my house) I also managed to get a hold of one of the grand opening mini figs number 440/500 was super hyped to get that aswell
Cool tip: the lid doesn't have to close, you can expand it and tape it on
i always practice, i use a party cup to practice stuffing bricks, i need it to get other colors of bricks i already have
Now I'm an expert ;)
when are the results coming in for the moc contest
do lego stores do Technic or bionicle/hero factory parts for pick a bricks?
This is so satisfying, and I love the cool swingy bit at the end.
Dang man! Awesome parts Ty! Like the new yellow background too!
Lego4Life glad you like the yellow background!
There’s like 4 lego stores in Chile but I don’t know any that has pick a brick
Haha starting out a video with "this is a totally random video" lol so funny
Thank you for this! Happy I found it, my first time with pick a brick sucked big time. (Recently just started with Lego)
I need those round light gray tiles. BTW is that teal color a new color I have never seen it before. And yes I agree it’s a waste of time to stack bricks to save 10 cents. You can earn more than 10 cents in the wasted time.
SacredBricks yes that is teal
I recently did this for the first time, and I am really wondering whether a pick a brick from a wall is a good value compared to ordering that quantity and bricks from the online store? Ever did any research on that? I guess if you can buy bricks in colours not available on the store it makes much more sense.
Find my nearest Lego store.... 2 hours and 16 minutes. Let's go!
It doesn't sound so bad to be an implus buyer when you have lots of brand new Legos for ideas or builds. And my only Lego store is in a mall ( it's pretty far so I don't go to it often)
Lol nice video, I just like looking at PAB 😂. Speaking of PAB, this morning it just got announced that the first LEGO store is coming to New Zealand at the end of the year! I'm super happy!
Bricktextured 1x2’s, rounded slopes, and plant stuff made me think of a rooftop garden
Cool tips for pick a brick my only problem is that the nearest lego store is 250km from my place so I don’t go very often
if you pay to get access to the full volume of the cup, the critical factor in efficiency is packing, the less air is in the cup the more plastic is being moved out of the store, just loosely tossing bricks in results in significant air pockets, one possibility is to effectively voxelize the cup, align all of the bricks to a grid when filling the cup
Do you recommend any source to bulk mail-order bricks that you select? Like if I want a few hundred of 1 kind of brick in 1 color
Subbed thanks for these cool tips!
Also I'm going to say back when I used to build with the big 6x1 flat walls ( I'm probably calling it wrong thing but oh well) anyways I got the small one and fit 15 walls and then filled the rest with small pieces. Next time I tired to do it. I failed
3:11 bro it's called a stud lol
Great tips...Best one is to find out what day they get new shipments come in.
I don’t build with system very much, any suggestions for bricks that work with Technic and Bionicle?
I actually totally enjoyed this video. I personally wish lego would just address all us impulse pick a brickers and just make a mega bucket already 😅😅😅!!
Grabbed some nice pick a brick last week, but it was only one small cup, and the pieces were good but nothing compared to yours! Out of interest, even though I live in the UK, which store was this?
Malignus Von BotterShnike Thanks man! This was a store by Portland Oregon but I don’t remember the exact place.
When I asked my local Lego store they told me they only replace the wall pieces when one empties. They don’t have specific delivery slots that they fill them from
Thx for the tips ima get some bricks for a house next time I go to the LEGO store
Another pro tip, if you ask for refill price and don't have a cup you brought in, you can take the parts home in a bag and save the 50 cents!
In the US and a handful other countries, you can buy individual pieces by part number directly from LEGO's website.
My LEGO store has those small plastic watercups
Conveniently, I’ve got 2 LEGO stores nearby. However, one is closed in the winter (it’s a LEGOLAND Park) and the other is probably one of the busiest in the world...
Is it possible to do hacks on the cup itself? Like modifying the cup slightly so that the employees won't notice it?
I have never seen some of those colors before wow
when i had to stuff lego in it popped of the top so one of the employees used tape to stick it and i technically got extra
Can you get lego slopes for rockwork in pick a brick?
It's possible.
My family insists on going to Target every time and the only lego store around me is in this jam-packed mall I never go to.
I am making endor so i walk in on delivery days and while everyone is distracted taking the rare bricks i go and fill like 10 cups with brown and green bricks lmao
Thank you for this tip man I now know what I need to do to get my money's worth.
Tip: Bring your own sellotape. Means you don't have to bother the staff for theirs if it's busy.
The staff at my local lego store are so nice they over filled one of my cups and hat to put tape on the lid so we got like 29 more pieces than we were supposed to
Thanks for tips even 3 years later the tips are still good.
My nearest LEGO stores is 5 hours away :(

boy oh boy when you see my first pick a brick cup... it was packed so tightly that i got every cent out of it💀every nook and cranny
I just love re watching your vidoes, including your old ones.
And when you dont have a lego store near you? Ive emailed about getting one, but nothing yet
Thanks theses tips are Nice...
i used to go to the minifig station and shoving them into the pick a brick cup
My actual nearest store is like 7 states away
Woah I didn't even know this was a thing. I definitely need to visit the Lego store now.
I am totally new to pick-a-brick and I have a question. How much does each cup cost?
Tbh I only get replacement and spare bricks on the pick a brick wall for my sets
My local lego stores don't care if you over fill as long as they can tape it shut. Literally you can have the lid bending and requireing two to three pieces of tape and they don't care.
I went to leister square today the wall had lots of really good pieces!
Hey TD bricks what should I do I order a pickup brick order it was supposed to be here today but it didn't get here yet and I was wondering what do you think I should do
I buy lego in Austria, they give you an extra scoop of lego alongside the cup to make up for the air in the cup;) now thats what I call customer centricity.
Hi Tie, love the content but my question is, why don't you review the Lego Automated Garbage truck?
Thanks for le tip!
Thanks ty!
Bruh reading some of these comments I’m so blessed to have a LEGO store 5 minutes from my house... even if it’s kinda small... and you can always get better deals on sets at target and Walmart... and target releases new sets a day early... damn
