    The fact that Donny kept this to only about 7k pieces is amazing. The amount of gold metallic pieces would certainly bump up the price, but if offered as a retail set I would jump at this.

      Some of the facial features are actually used in some of LEGO's modern dragon sets.

And uses a similar technique with the bowl but with a lego mini fig head inside instead of an egg

    I can never really justify much of a purchase from either BrickLink or Bricks and Pieces because I generally just don't know what I'd want to buy beyond something just to say that I have a few of them and maybe they'll be useful some time in the future, but with something like this, they definitely pay off. Everyone went hog wild on all the metallic gold parts on Bricks and Pieces when Monkie Kid first dropped and I laughed them all off as crazy, and if I saw that someone bought a few hundred of those Harry Potter rings and 2x4 rounded gold tiles, I'd also laugh them off as crazy, but clearly Donny Chen knows what's up. You'd have to do the same thing with all the clips and brackets, too, but I feel like those could reliably have been Pick-a-Brick Wall purchases (and a better price per part ratio) since they're smaller and less niche; certainly better than all the olive cheese people bought up 10 years ago (sheesh, it's already been 10 years?) that I'm sure still fill a whole bin of their collections and don't know what to do with.

    • @mortenjorck
      @mortenjorck 7 месяцев назад +3

      I look at a MOC like this and that’s the part I can’t even wrap my head around: sourcing. Like I can at least start to comprehend the incredible design and engineering Donny brought to this, but when it comes to tracking down this many specialized pieces over what must have been many months on BrickLink… the logistics are just insane.

    • @MCLegoboy
      @MCLegoboy 7 месяцев назад

      @@mortenjorck Bricks and Pieces from LEGO's website is a good way to get bulk parts for better prices than even BrickLink at times, certainly much more convenient than having a bunch of different prices across multiple stores (and international ones at that, which makes it worse) and at varying levels of condition. It may take some time to arrive, but if he had the basic design already done digitally, Danny can parse out what's going to be the best way to go about acquiring the parts, and I think Bricks and Pieces makes the most sense for the rings and tiles because nobody just buying sets for their inventory on BrickLink would ever have something like this unless they were also going to Bricks and Pieces.

      @@jg113 The Lego Eiffel tower model (10001 pieces) can be found here for €630. Now price per piece isn't constant, the eiffel tower is a lot of small pieces, compared to for instance the liebherr crawler crane with only 2883 pieces, and still setting you back €680 euro (although it can be found for much less, it has been sold for €410).
      If they'd produce this, I'd expect it to be in the ~€800 ballpark as its piece variation is significantly higher, but they're still a lot of small pieces.

    The amazing part to me is that from the outside perspective you are able to visually check which pieces are being used, its not some sort of weird half-piece sticking out amalgamation that is causing the finished and refined look.
