Hiya Paul (...) Unfortunately you're right, getting all the parts for a specific model off Bricklink is a lot of work and you end up with multiple orders and multiple shipping costs. The minimum order thing is getting worse as sellers raise their (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.inst)

I like to build from instructions, too. Either instructions of released sets, ideabooks published by Lego or 'third party' instructions.

I'd love to hear people's advice on getting the specific parts you need to build a specific MOC. I'd also like to know if anyone else is a "Builder AFOL" like me?
