You can get some pretty good deals on ebay.

You can generally get cheap buckets of Lego at people's yard sales, eBay, etc... The good thing about Lego is that it ages well, The bricks don't become obsolete. For more specific parts you could try BrickLink - http://www.bricklink.com/ http://www.bricklink.com/

From Lego. For generic blocks, you cannot really beat their "brick buckets" -- the deluxe version (http://shop.lego.com/ByCategory/Product.aspx?p=6177&cn=227&d=304 http://shop.lego.com/ByCategory/Product.aspx?p=6177&cn=2...) has 650 blocks for 30€. From the supermarket, you can hardly get a 50-brick model for those 30€.

  You can get used Lego pieces on eBay for cheap. Just put them in a sack (e.g. pillow cover) and wash them in your washing machine, when you get them.

This isn't really an answer to your question, but my co-founder's brother works as a designer at Lego HQ in Denmark, where they have a huge warehouse filled with every block/piece/component in every colour available... That's what he used to make lego versions of us, which we've used on our website ( http://wemakewebsites.info/about http://wemakewebsites.info/about ). I'm sure you can get a lot of stuff on mail order.

  God, a warehouse full of lego. That's what heaven is like.

    All mixed together. That is what hell is like. I too was looking forward to a printer that built objects out of lego. Would be a great project to work on. Nevertheless, this is great. The printed sheet turned out much better than I had imagined. Shouldn't be too hard to put in different colour pens.

  I bet they still have Batman Lego as well :( sob (Batman Lego is incredibly rare. Expect to pay a few hundred $ per set at least). Lego lost the license to sell it, but they still sell the Lego Batman video game.
