| This question may have been asked many times in other posts, if so apologies.
I have had a design created and have purchased the bricks from the bom and built
our prototype which came out great. I have run the finished build past several
people and there is alot of interest in people buying the kit. What I am trying
to understand, what is the best path for buying the the raw legos that just have
that kit bagged where we are buying quantities of the kits.
We will do all the packaging, printing the instructions, stickers, and marketing.
We are in an industry where we have access to market to sell our kit.
I cant see any reason to go to lego for this as a kit they would offer, we have
the access to the market and can focus our sales I believe in this case better
than they could.
Is there any direction to do this?
I do not want to be buying up other kits to get the raw legos I need, this is
a 500 part build and just want to know the most efficient and effective path
to go down if I wanted to start off with 20, 50, or 100 kits.
Thanks much,
cc

| Pro tip especially if you are selling Lego is the plural of lego is lego there
is no a 
The vast majority of people who make Mocs and sell them only sell the instructions.
Piecing together sets can be quite costly but if you still want to then I’d suggest
a small test amount of say 5-10 sets and if those sell as you expect then get
more

I guess you meant ‘s’ not ‘a’.
And it’s LEGO (all caps)

Theirs seems a particular entreprise though: they (think they) already have a
50-100 customers market.
I’d first try to see if it’s easy and not to expensive to find the parts here:
make a WL for 1 set, one for 10, one 100, and use the Buy page to see if you
can find stores that can provide the parts.
Then, if a store (or two) can provide 90% of the parts (by type) for 50-100 sets,
I’d try to see with them if they can acquire the missing parts instead of chasing
them around myself (those stores generally have better sources and can buy more
to reduce the price and sell the surplus in their own store).
Oh, first, I’d check that the parts are the latest moulds or not rare & expensive,
for instance in Studio with the BDP 4 palette.
