Hello,
I have been a Lego fan since a child (40+ years) and recently I discovered that
on Rebrickable website a person has designed a modular build called ‘Sitcom Tower’
by a party known as Artisan. The build uses a number of sitcoms Lego sets including
Friends Central Perk, Friends Apartment, Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld, Thor’s Bro
legend set, etc.

My question is, having all the sets leaves around 20% of parts missing and from
Rebrickable no single party can provider or sell the combined total amount of
missing bricks meaning I would have to laboriously check which bricks I then
need to identify and source from other sellers.

Is there no single way of ordering the list of bricks from Bricklink directly
as I have been advised that I should be able to obtain a list of all the bricks
I need which can be uploaded into Bricklink to source.

This seems like a big ask, but can anyone help an aging man child in achieving
his goal of the Sitcom Tower?

Thank you

Yes, you need a Wanted List (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1 ) and
then you use the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445 ).

You can upload Rebrickable parts lists to BrickLink Wanted List.

The Rebrickable parts list for the MOC would include the sets you already have
(or intend to have), you’ll therefore need to “remove” those parts first.

You can do that on Rebrickable.  I don’t have a complete how-to or even the best
method but I’d add the set as parts I own, then when looking at the MOC, I’d
use the Buy Parts tab, it should only show the parts I need and there I can directly
upload the list to a WL on BL.

You can also download the different parts lists and make the arithmetic locally
with BrickStore before uploading here.
