  1. what’s the best and economic way you’ve all found to increase collection

Being an adult means, in part, getting a weekly or biweekly paycheck. For about a year and a half I bought a set every pay day. The number of pieces I had grew very quickly from a small collection to a medium collection. Keep an eye out for sales and buy more then, especially anything 30% off or more. BrickFest every year has had 20%+ sales, so I’d buy a bulk of my yearly set purchases there.

After building for a while, you’ll get a sense of which pieces you need a lot of and which you don’t. Then, I’d recommend going to BrickLink and buying direct. Having a lot of pieces changes how you view building. I only had a few of the 2x10x2 double slope until I saw Keith Goldman use a bunch in a MOC (he said they were cheap), and that inspired me to buy a few hundred and build this.
