Hi,

I bought my first MOC set recently and clearly made a rookie error in going for
what I thought to be the best priced bundle. Only now I’ve realised I’m missing
around 10 individual parts as the seller didn’t have them in stock (lesson learned).
I now need to source these 10 pieces but on their own could end up paying much
more and also in postage. Is there a better way to source these pieces at all
or is there no option but to potentially have to go through 10 individual sellers
and just pay all the postage?

Cheers

Create a "Wanted List" of the parts you require. Then click "Buy
All" - select the region where you want to buy from ("United Kingdom"
and it will list the sellers only in the UK with the parts. Those at the top
of the list have the most parts required. You can select the seller with the
most parts with lowest price and shipping easily.

Beside your My BL profile page, the Want tab page will help you to "bookmark"
individual part IDs and then you can choose which colour and how many is required.
You need to search each part ID you require on BL, then select the heart icon
next to each of them, then this will take you to adding them into your Wanted
List page. After that, you auto-select all the parts and select where you live
and BL will auto-choose the best store containing all of the required parts.
If it can't, it will aggregate the maximum number of stores totalling the
parts.
