130 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2018

I recall many years ago that I received an order around 100 lots from Gustav.
It took me 8 hours to pull. Guess why!

BTW how about parting a set out and adding it to your inventory before you actually
sort and verify the parts in the set?

  Thank you my amazing customers for being patient with me, 10 orders in and here's
what I've learnt:

It may look brown, but it's reddish brown
There are a waaaay to many Lego colours (see above)
Sorting by colour is the ultimate noob mistake
Postage prices just went up (woops) and postage isn't as simple as I thought
When you're cataloging late at night and duplicate things it hurts later!
When you buy second hand lego there are always a few non-Lego pieces
My wife doesn't appreciate bags of Lego everywhere, thanks brickarchitect.com
for the tips!
Brexit sucks (selling in the EU from the UK is super complicated!)
I still haven't worked out whether it's better to part out or sell the

Most importantly it's been great to introduce my daughter to Lego and always
have something cool to build with her without buying new sets!

To celebrate I'm offering 20% off everything in store, please check it out
and send any thoughts or feedback (and thank you everyone who has already done
this!)
