    This should be called "How to accidentally make the LEGO store start pricing bricks by weight instead of cup volume."

    Pick-a-Brick cup volume is 475cm3 + 30cm3 (lid) = 505cm3. A 2x4 Lego brick is 2.48cm3.
    So at best, you could fit 505 / 2.48 = 203 bricks in a container with such a volume (but clearly not that shape...).
    The scooped solution with 56 bricks is super inefficient (25%), but the stacked solution still leaves the cup half empty!

    I really miss Lego. But in my country the prices are just insane, sometimes they really can be more than twice of what they are in the US.

    Aren't you supposed to close the lid? This is cool, if this works, but I wouldn't be amazed to see the store owners asking you to remove the top layer so you can close the jar.

      A lot of stores make you close the lid, so that won’t work.

  • @atvchick09

    With the small amount of extra space there is I would fill it with some studs or other small pieces.

  • @Rinyotsu

    Actually, if the lid doesn't touch the top of the cup, my store says that's invalid.

    • @ryanquaddy9964
      @ryanquaddy9964 5 лет назад +6

      what i would do is leave out the top layers and fill it with studs or something small then shake it a little bit to get them to got in the small gaps down th side to get as much as possible in but idk ive never been to a lego store

  • @HotPocketEnjoyer
    @HotPocketEnjoyer 4 года назад +3

    So if you get one large cup for 16$ it will get you 167 pieces and if you get small cups for that many bricks it will be 3 of them for 24$ so definitely do the large if you are going for a ton of bricks

  • @Paul-ih1vz
    @Paul-ih1vz 4 года назад +1

    Your method is flawed in the fact that if you use your method you cannot get the lid on. The lid must fit back on. Still a good efficient method but not 167 if you want to fit the lid on but close and still worth it.

    Beautiful! This summer I visited the first LEGO store ever! This was over at Disneyland Paris and I just say WOW! What a fun store and so much items and sets to buy.. Oh man! I got in contact with LEGO afterwards asking for a shop in Stockholm, Sweden and it has been thought of, so hopefully we will get a store here soon as well =D
    Anyhow, just wondering what the prices are for those cups. I can vaguely remember a price of €17.99 EUR? Should translate to around USD $19-20.. Is that what any of those cups costs? As I said, it was a few months ago now, so I don't really remember.
    But saving $.25 for a cup doesn't seem much, at least with a USD $19-20 pricetag. So that's why I'm asking, as it should be much cheaper? =D
    Anyhow, great video and thanks for sharing this wonderful technique!

      Its insane.. the price is 54 SEK more expensive than your place.. Its not fair, why do Swedes have to pay so much more!? Sure, its not a lot of money.. once.. But if you want to buy several cups or like once a week or twice a month.. It does stack up and begins to be a lot more money spent than in the US or UK..

    1st of all, Lego Stores in Hong Kong won't allow you to do that.
    Maybe due to Hong Kong's status of Asia World City, the prices of Pick A Brick are much more expensive than in the US. A large PAB cup costs you around 25 US Dollars.
    So, DON'T DO PAB in Hong Kong!!!
