The organization and attention to detail required for a store like this is mind-blowing. 🤯 She's amazing!
well of course shes organized shes a mom lol
In case anyone is still wondering about the baseplate. These were part of the adult oriented Modulex line designed for architects. The were transparent so people could put a floor plan underneath them and build a Lego model on top with the exact dimensions. They were also designed to be cut and glued onto wood boards(yes really). The Modulex theme was very short lived and was created pretty early in Lego's history. And since the parts were designed to be cut and glued, and weren't really compatible with other Lego bricks, there's very few parts that survive to this day.
This baseplate was actually not Modulex, as it was scaled with normal studs. Some have suggested it may have come from the LEGO Model Shop.
The high quality production of this video is refreshing to see for a BrickLink store tour. And as a veteran BrickLink seller those hanging shoe organizers is something I have never seen before.
So glad you enjoyed it! Her shoe organizers are so unique too
I just love how she’s grown it to a size that requires staff! Well done. And great business model.
I run a BL store professionally myself and I can say that looking at her numbers; she doesn't have any employees.
It's probably her kids/husband/friends helping out from time to time.
@@thorakvideos2495 so she lied?
@@JoelChenFa No, what are you on about?
I wish all these organizers and bricks somehow magically appeared in my house so I could build for all eternity
I've ordered from her prior and favorite'd her store. She has great service and when you get your package you can tell she cares about making a good experience for customers.
Ginny it's so cool to see this video and what your store has become. You sold my technic collection about 6 years ago. I was browsing youtube and saw your store name pop up and I was like "OMG I KNOW HER".
She's the coolest 😎
The clear base plates are only given to master builders. They build great big sculptures with them.
I remember seeing that baseplate and a LEGO worker talking about it, as far as I know, it's exclusive to the builders of the official company only, if I'm correct, so that's pretty cool to see that she has one.
Yes I think that correct.
Yeah, the baseplate is used for when you need to build a top and bottom layer separately but still need to line it up.
I think it's also used on build walls in toy stores where there's a picture underneath that people build overtop of. It could explain why the corners are damaged if it was removed from the display.
I literally cannot decide if that job looks like heaven or hell....
Heaven
What a great "mini documentary" Behind the scenes are most of the time very interesting. It is also very inspiring to see how a person can have an idea / realisation, and develop it so well.
The clear faceplate was an internal piece only. Lego has made several of these unique piece over the years to help their testers and master builders. It probably was taken home by an employee then forgotten about then sold at some point lol. There's a Lego employee here on RUclips that talks about some of these pieces from time to time, I cant for the life of me remember his channel name though :(
Lego also labels these unique pieces as "Illegal Lego" and some times "illegal techniques" depending on the context lol
You probably mean Tiago Catarino, he worked as a Lego Set designer.
@@darthjump I'm not sure, but the guy that I was watching definitely said he was currently a "Lego Master Builder".
The organization is insane! This video was put together very well and its great to see an inside look at a bricklink store!
Amazing. So much fun to see all you have accomplished!! Keep it up!
Such an awesome video to really see what goes on behind the scenes! I've made soooo many BrickLink purchases, and also from Wild Bricks many times. Great video!
Wild Bricks and Ginny were instrumental in helping me build MOCs of the Last Crusade tank and the Living Daylights Aston Martin. Love that store!
That was an awesome build.
Very impressive. I know a few people that have Bricklink stores and have seen there setup and this one is very impressive and laid out very well. Love the video.
I've ordered from Wild Bricks GA more than once, and they do a great job. Interesting to see the store layout. I've been operating a store for almost 5 years, which is roughly half their size. One suggestion I would perhaps make, is to standardize the various types of storage as much as possible, just to have a more efficient picking workflow. There's certainly a need for a variety of small/medium/large drawer sizes, but beyond that keep the storage units consistent. We are moving away from bead storage type containers because we find them the most tedious to pick from.
Hey Ben, thanks so much for the comments. I've thought about making our containers more uniform for a while. A lot of the containers came from purchasing other BL stores and their set ups. I plan to get rid of the container store drawers first and replace them with more of the sliding shoe racks and more of the sterilite drawers. The bead boxes hold more lots per sq ft than any other type of storage we have. We have so many small lots they are irreplaceable for us. ~Ginny~
They are expensive, but a Lista or Vidmar industrial drawer unit with bins in the drawers seems like a very space efficient way of storing things.
@@wildbricks1861@bensbrickstore How did you guys get started doing this business?
Loved it! This was a really well made min documentary - lots of fun to see such a large and organized store as well
This was a great video. Love the attention to detail in Jenny’s store!
Incredible absolutely stunning level of organization. This is amazing
this is so cool! Props to her and her well organized LEGO store!
This is just infinitely interesting to see behind the scenes at these kind of operations. Would love to see more some day
So impressive! Love what she’s done. Congratulations!
I love the documentary style you did for this video it was really really good !
You are my hero! This story is amazing and a wonderful inspiration 🥰
This was such a cool video! Thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed!!
Im glad the video came put so well!
Great video! Thanks for sharing a great resource.
Very Interesting; i have started my own Bricklink Store back in November 2022 and i really like the platform. Everything is made with attention to Detail and as a seller it is great because it is SO Easy to sell on it.
I ordered from her store yesterday and now this is in my feed. Crazy.
Fantastic video. Just amazing
Dude!!!! Ginny is awesome! Insane amount of work and dedication but she's living a dream. This was so fun to watch, loved hearing the words of wisdom and what it's like keeping organized and being successful. Great editing and video-work too, bravo!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
I love this. So organized
It was so satisfying!
I live just around the corner! Definitely going to be ordering my parts from here
The accountant in me is very curious about the inventory, accounting systems, and how profitable the business model is. I love how she vacuum seals the parts in bags. So much easier on the buyer side to assimilate the Lego into the various projects. Orders from Lego just get dumped into big bags and take a lot of time to sort by part.
She makes a good living, don't worry about that.
To be fair, this is more of a hobby turned into a tiny business. I wouldn't expect her to make more than 5$/h if she works mostly with USED Lego.
@@thorakvideos2495 you wouldn't bother pursuing the business for $5 per hour, think of the overheads she has, the running costs online, no way, so that's absolutely rubbish. She would make a good living
@@thedappercook Do you per chance run a professional BL store? Because I do...
There is no cost for "running online" except 3% BL fee & PayPal fees. Taxes depend on where you live.
She is obviously running the store from home so no rent or other bills.
She was/is a stay at home mom, so she doesn't need to provide a big amount to the family finances.
I hope for her that she makes a killing, but looking at her numbers, she isn't pulling more than 1000 to max 1500/month in profit.
Sorting through USED lots of Lego is extremely time consuming.
Once again, I wish her all the best, but the reality is that BL is oversaturated in sellers.
Now, that is a good thing for most buyers but making a living from BL has become incredibly difficult.
@@thorakvideos2495 but you agree more than $5 right??
definitely going to place an order from Wild Bricks next time I need parts!
Very interesting video, thanks for showing this
Cerry good Job ! Congratulation ! I Love this job !
Outstanding Brickstore!
The clear 48x48 baseplate was used in some Legoland California displays
Awesome vid! this was really cool to see! hopefully we'll see Adam move up from rookie LOL
The 48x48 transparent baseplate (4186) is by the way from Lego Land/Factory. They use them for their own builds that require transparent baseplates. Thats why you cant find them in any sets, but its not like "an production sample" or anything. Some years ago some of them were even sold at the factory.
Love seeing fellow Georgia LEGO fans
So impressive 😮
Awesome! 😮❤
lovely
Great video! Kudos!
so cool !
Pretty cool!
I literally just placed my first Wild Bricks order a couple weeks ago 🙂, highly recommend!
Great timing!!
Great video!
Love the video! You hardly needed to say/ask anything with the effectiveness of the editing.
The attention to detail and organizing skills is something else. She should be ISO certified lol.
Great video 👍🏼
well as a Bricklink Store owner to be honest its really hard to doing this as full time job even you get 2-3 order daily its too hard.
Fantastic video!
You are the bestest mom-in-law EVER!
supper cool never seen the behind stuff of a bricklink store, I use bricklink some times I noticed you really have some cheap 2x1 bricks wish you had them in the right gray the cheapest I could buy them in the amount I need was 9 cents a piece I now have about 2000 of those bricks,
but I'll definitely check the shop out, but what will determine if I buy anything is the price.
ohhhh I just looked at the plants there the best selection I have seen and the price is good to!
That’s super cool
this makes my brain happy, im local and cant wait to buy something from you!!!
We LOVE our local buyers. Looking forward to meeting you.
2:25 im pretty sure 48x48 clear base plates are for in store display models.
That would be so cool to have a basement dedicated to Lego. Too bad my parents will never let that happen 😂
Such an underrated video!
People might underestimate how time consuming sorting lego pieces. And then, making sure that all pieces are authentic.
She was absolutely correct:
When I hunt down a piece or two that I need, I will usually bulk buy a bunch of spare pieces from the same store.
I don’t plan to get into selling Lego but man would I love to have organization like this for all my pieces so that I can grab build instructions and know where a piece is
Nice Store
Very interesting
I think so too!
Согласен
Just... Dayyyum
the translucent baseplate is most likley from a lego master, people who build lego stuff for legoland and such get special colors for some part.
Wow! How big is the space for your inventory? How do you clean/sort your bulk LEGO parts? I find quite a bit of non-LEGO when I buy bulk and use mesh bags in washing machine to clean the parts.
When mom does your hobby better than you, LOL, She's awesome!
Very savvy businesswoman!
She’s awesome
IM shochked but happy to see this
I believe the transparent baseplate was available to Lego Master Model Builders
I would love to be able to sort Lego for a living. That sounds so satisfying
Wow
I believe the mysterious clear 48x48 baseplate actually comes from official master builders! I remember the one (can't remember his name😢) who is always posting shorts talking about it once!
Amazingly organized! The big question is where does she get HER bricks??
I've seen the transparent baseplate only in a video of a guy working at a lego store. Perhaps those are only meant for use at a lego store? I did hear they're also deviate a lot compared to other lego, so probably only for very special use cases.
This is monk's work.
Wow, the most organized set up I have ever seen. The only question that I did not see in this video is how and where does she get her parts? Is it new and used?
She sells both new and used parts!
***Shhh*** The how and where are secrets. ;-)
I am wondering what program Ginny uses to pull her orders? Thanks!
💚
rad
Packaging seems very high quality.
I looked at her shop and her prices seem very high compared to other Bircklink sellers. Although she is shipping from U.S. So maybe you save there
International Shipping is always more expensive depending on where you're at
🤯
I just ordered from her off of brinklink
😮❤
...wew
👌
3:15 what is that grey piece called in the 39 box?
how you give ghem an inventory number? sounds daunting!!
What a flipping amazing awesome woman
Coolest mom
How does she source all of her parts? There are soooo many pieces there but you didn’t really get into how she gets them all
Are these dealers buying from a distributor or direct from lego? With an inventory that large, her inventory and pos system must be great
If I had her to help get my store in order I would have one of the top 5 stores in America
