Question 2

Where can I find and buy bricks?

Accepted Answer

Most bricks can be found directly on the LEGO® (www.lego.com)website (pick a brick service).
In some cases, the brick codes indicated on the LEGO® (www.lego.com)website do not correspond with the codes indicated on the Bricklink.com website.
Below you can find a simple tutorial for searching for pieces on the LEGO® (www.lego.com)website.

The pieces that you will not find available on LEGO® (www.lego.com)can be purchased on the BRICKLINK® (www.bricklink.com)website.
Also remember that all official LEGO® (www.lego.com) sets of the Star Wars® line are excellent starting points for recovering bricks and minifigures.

Question 3

Are there rare and expensive bricks?

Accepted Answer

I spend a lot of time choosing Bricks during the design phase.
I try to discard rare and expensive Bricks to limit as much as possible the final cost of MOC.

Question 4

How much does it cost to build StarBricks MOCs?

Accepted Answer

The average cost of bricks varies between € 0,10-0,15 / piece.
The final cost depends a lot on your research and purchasing skills on the LEGO® (www.lego.com)and BRICKLINK® (www.bricklink.com)sites and whether you decide to buy only new or used parts.
Remember that on the LEGO® (www.lego.com)site you can buy most of the bricks new and that for large orders you will have free shipping.
In addition, by signing up to the LEGO® (www.lego.com)Insiders program, you can collect points for discounts and special prizes.

Question 5

Do you have any particular advice for finding parts?

Accepted Answer

Sure! Before buying the Bricks check and search in the bulk you have in the house.
Remember that the red pieces can be replaced with other colors because they will not be visible once the MOC is finished.

Question 6

How can I upload the parts list to bricklink?

Accepted Answer

With the manual you will receive a list of parts in .LDR compatible with BRICKLINK®.(www.bricklink.com)
The file must not be opened.
First you must create a WANTED LIST on BRICKLINK® (www.bricklink.com)and then load the parts list.
Here is a tutorial (https://youtu.be/H8QR7Sm9z5Y)on youtube that explains how wanted lists work on bricklink.

Question 7

Is the BRICKSTUFF lighting kit included in the instructions?

Accepted Answer

No, the BRICKSTUFF lighting kit is an optional and is not essential for the construction of the MOC.
If you wish, you can purchase it separately by contacting BRICKSTUFF (https://www.brickstuff.com/store/p222/SB00302.html)directly.
In the case of the B-Project it will be appropriate to assemble it during the construction phases of the MOC.

Question 8

Why are the instructions limited edition and why will they no longer be printed once they are sold out?

Accepted Answer

Building a 3,000 / 6,000-piece MOC is challenging and expensive. Finding parts isn't easy and the more people search for a part, the more likely it is to become rare and expensive.
In a market like bricklink, where parts are limited, the less AFOL looks for a brick, the greater the chances of building a MOC at an affordable price.
This is why StarBricks MOC instructions are limited edition and it is important not to disclose and share the parts list.
The MOC StarBricks are special projects dedicated only to AFOLs who strongly want to build a MOC StarBricks to add to their collections.

Question 9

How will the instructions be sent?

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined
The instructions will be shipped only with UPS or GLS express couriers.
A safe and traceable system that will guarantee fast delivery times.
You will be able to track your package directly from the UPS (https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&requester=ST/)or GLS (https://www.gls-italy.com/en/shipping-solutions/international-shipments)sites.
