Just curious about where big retailers get their PAB parts from.
Obviously from LEGO. But what criteria I need as reseller to get them from LEGO?
Only for LEGO-only resellers? Only for LEGO-resellers with a physical store?
Or can any reseller with high order volume order these PAB parts from LEGO?

I'm pretty sure somewhere in Germany (or maybe another European country)
lego has a MASSIVE warehouse where you can buy a massive variety of lego by the
weight or something

BobBrickman. I know his museum, its close to my home. Only 20km.
The store where he get all his parts from is impressive.
But the prices aren't that fair. 10€ per 100g. Means for 2x4 bricks 0,23€
per piece.
The must be other sources I believe. Or how can some shops offer 2x4 bricks
in one colour like 80k pieces.

I'm fairly certain I've seen it. I forget what he was buying but I remember
him walking out with several gigantic bags. I'll sniff around the interwebs
and see if I can find them again and pay closer attention.

LOL! I'm really lucky and my wife condones my LEGO problem.

I've been going to Bavaria a few times a year recently and if it's not
to far out of the way I wouldn't mind poking my head in to see what they've
got and at what prices because you never know.

Found one in Günzburg which is a short trip from Munich. Heading to Oktoberfest
so I think it will be a fantastic idea to heavily imbibe before going and see
what I bought when I wake up the next day.

Oktoberfest then Günzburg, yes, I think it's the perfect plan!
What could go wrong?

Avoid the roller coasters though.
And always have a B plan

That’s where LEGOLAND Germany is.  So I guess it’s linked to the park.

€9.99!  That’s BELOW €10!


For the unit-challenged people out there, that means $49 per lb (all taxes included¹).

–––
¹ That means you may be able to get 15.9% back, as you don’t “consume” them on
site (https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/guide-vat-refund-visitors-eu_en
).

There is a seller from a small country that buys/used to buy PAB boxes/cartons
from LEGO.

It was neither by the weight nor by the piece count, just by the box.

I guess for the majority of big sellers, you've got to have brick & mortar
shop, then you will part out hundreds of the same Sets...

This is how comes the cheapest parts - especially if their salary cost is low.

There are other solutions, but it's for some lots, specific opportunities;
it doesn't represent the main supply.

  Just curious about where big retailers get their PAB parts from.
Obviously from LEGO. But what criteria I need as reseller to get them from LEGO?
Only for LEGO-only resellers? Only for LEGO-resellers with a physical store?
Or can any reseller with high order volume order these PAB parts from LEGO?

I think you are asking how to become a wholesale buyer direct?


Here in the USA it's basically impossible unless you are a Walmart type business.
It appears that in Germany some sellers seem to have some sort of in, legit or
not. I also imagine it's not an easy thing for anyone to get into. I'd
imagine it's not a money thing but more a connections thing


But as just a generally answer to your question, you're probably not going
to be able to.
