| Hi-I'm looking for help on how I can accomplish the goals I set when I joined
this group. I joined this group because I purchase Duplo and Lego sets at Goodwill
for my autistic grandchildren and often need to fill in for missing parts. I
have also purchased a few Lego sets in this group. As a grandmother on a fixed
income I am looking for options to get the most "bang for the buck".
My grandchildren are under 5 years old and enjoy about any type of set. I am
also looking to buy minifigures to create a "build your own minifigure"
set up for them . A local shop charges $6 per figure to make your own (and these
are just vey basic because the minifigs in demand are sold separately and for
much more) So, I am hoping I can do it through this group for much less than
$6.
Any suggestions or feedback are very much appreciated. I spent about 6 hours
on the minifigure project tonight and feeling overwhelmed because there is so
much to sift through.
Thank you,
Tami

That seems very expensive - even Lego stores charge less than that for build-a-minifigure
with new parts ($10 for 3 - admittedly you have to buy in multiples of 3).

Welcome to Bricklink Tami,
This is a great place to find what you're looking for. I have a son with
autism which was a driving factor in finding Bricklink myself. Going to be sending
you a $10 coupon plus free shipping to help with your search for Minifigs or
missing parts that may help you with your project. Gary

You should be able to pick up decent quality used complete and fairly generic
City type figures for $1-$2 each. Then break them into the parts for your own
build a minifigure setup. Most reasonable sized stores should have a decent selection.
